Red Hot Weather!
Stomach Off?
No Appetite? Mouth Dry? Tongue
Stiff and Fierce Thirst?
Here's Relief |!

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
in hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach is starter of
untold misery for its owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-stomach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
belching, food repeating-it is the dam
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about it in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. 1t is commonsense
way. No starvation plan of diet is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get good appetite in
hot weather and enjoy the things you
like without misery to follow.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-07-05

EATONIC Tablets have amazed
people everywhere with the marvellous
benefits they have produced for thou
sands of stomach sufferers. Start the
test today and let your own stomach
tell you the truth.
EATONIC works quick-it absorbs
and neutralizes hurtful, poisonous
acids, juices and stomach gases caused
from undigested foods. Thousands
testify that it quickly puts the stomach
in clean, sweet condition-recreate
builds up the lost appetite and makes life
worth living for the man who likes good
things but who suffers every time he eats
them.
EATONIC is absolutely guaranteed to do
all this and you are to be the judge. If 1t
doesn't rid you of stomach and bowel mis-
cries most common in hot weather-you
get your money back at once, right from
your own druggist whom you know and
can trust. No need of your taking a.
day. You will see.
