HwO To Relieve
Stomach Pains
in Two Minutes

Nine times out of ten when your
stomach hurts. when you are doubled
up with the pains of dyspepsia and
indigestion, It is simply because of
acid which burns and inflames the
delicate stomach lining; and ferment-
ing food which forms gas that dis
tends the stomach just like blowing
up toy balloon. In cases like this
and most all stomach trouble is
directly or indirectly due to acid and
food fermentation-almo instant re-
lief may be obtained by taking in a
little hot water imm ediately after
eating or whenever pain is felt a tea
spoonful of simple antiacid known
among druggists everywhere as b.
nesin. This simple remedy. which is
also obtainable in the form of a
5-grain Bi-neHin tablet, may seem old
fashioned, but those who have used 1t
say that besides being inexpensive. Ii
beats all the expensive remedies they
have ever tried for quick and positive
relief. Try IL and see.

A Home Made Gray
Hair Remedy
You Can Make at Home n Better
Gray Hair Remedy Than
You Can Bay

Gray, streaked or faded hair is not
only unbecoming, but unnecessary.
You can darken it without using a
dye.
ANY one can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray hair, and make
it soft and glossy. To a half pint OF
water add l ounce of bay rum, a
small box of Barbo Compound and
4 ounce of glycerine. These ingre-
dients can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost, or the drug
.gist will put 1t up for YOU. Apply
to the hair twice a week until the
desired shade is obtained. This will
make a gray-haired person look
twenty years younger. 1t is not a
dye, it does not color the most deli
cate scalp; is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub off"

A Dead Stomach
OF What Use Is It?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thou
sands of people throughout America
are taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have,
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement; IT
is a startling fact. the truth of which

and other strong digesters, made es-

stomach without any aid at all from

do more. Taken regularly for q few
weeks they build up the rundown
