The Home of the Soul

In olden times, it was believed
that the seat of the soul was the
stomach, most likely for the reason
that man is never so completely
used up-aS when his stomach is out
of order. For the cure of ordinary
stomach troubles, there is nothing
quite SO prompt and satisfactory as
Chamberlain Tablets. They
strengthen the stomach and enable
it to perform it's functions natural
ly. Give them a trial. They only
cost a quarter. Sold Everywhere.
