THE PROPER FOOD FOR WEAK
oIOMACHe.

The proper food for one man may
be oil wrong for another. Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. It
IL also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to taken and
pleasant In eject. ADV.
