The quick action of simple glycer-
inc, buckthorn bark, ETC., as mixed in
Adler-i-ka, is surprising. One spoon
full relieves ANY CASE gas on
stomach or sour stomach. Adler-i-ka
acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel
and removes all foul accumulated
matter which poisoned stomach. Often
CURES constipation. Prevents ap-
pendicitis. One lady reports she has
no more pain in back of head or gas
on stomach since using Adler-i-ka.
