EATONIC Users
DO This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, ul.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. S. who
have tested eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, for eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them ont of the body and of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well. feels fine-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an eatonic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larly for a time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.
