"Diapepsin" for
Bad Stomach,
Indigestion

Take "Pape's Diapepsin'' now! In
five minutes your stomach feels fine.
Don't bother what upset your stomach
or which portion of the food did the
damage. If your stomach is sour,
gassy and upset, and what you just
ate has fermented into stubborn
Jumps; head dizzy and aches; you
belch gases and acids and eructate
undigested food-just take little
Papes Diapepsin and in five minutes
you Wonder what became of the in
digestion and distress. Millions of
men and women today know that it
is needless to have a bad stomach. A
little Diapepsin occasionally keeps this
delicate organ regulated and they eat
their favorite foods without fear. If
your stomach doesn't take care of your
liberal limit without rebellion; if your
food is a damage instead of help,
remember the quickest, surest, most
harmless antacid is Pape's Diapepsin,
which costs only sixty cents for
large case at drug stores.-Adv.

top Of this a soda confection is apt
to add to the indigestion. 1t is a
good rule to follow each meal with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet to avoid
dyspepuc results due to eating and
drinking. Should the stomach sour,
with water-brash, biliousness, and the
peculiar gassiness due to indigestion
these tablets bring relief because they
supply the alkaline effect to the stom-
ach and thus offset the acidity of
such dyspeptic conditions.
It is well to know this and not deny
yourself the pleasures of the good

of indigestion You will find Stuart

The reporter talked of politics, the

Mr.. Lewis became first uneasy and
then unhappy. When he could stand
it no longer he turned to his neighbor
