Would you not like to feel that
your stomach troubles are over, that
YOU can eat any kind of food that you
crave? Consider then the fact that
Chamberlain's Tablets have cured
others-why not you. There are many
who have been restored 20 health by
taking these tablets and can now eat
any kind Of food that they crave.

improve the appetite and strengthen

sin or other digestive ferment but
strengthen the stomach and enable it
