me a box at the drug store as was going
to work at p. m. took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was
three-fourths gone, felt fine and when it
was used up had no pains. Wife got me
another box but l have felt the pain but
twice. ! used five tablets out of the new
box and have no more stomach trouble.
Now | write to tell you how thankful
