Glad He Picked
This Stomach Remedy
Puts Stomach in Fine condition-Ends
Dizzy Spells, Nervousness, Head
aches and Makes You Sleep Well.

Injudicious eating causes acute indiges-
ton, gas, acidity, heaviness and sour
stomach-sometimes the distended stom-
ach causes the dreadful feeling of near
suffocation.
Isn't it worth something to know of a
remedy that will stop this distress in a
few minuutes-quicker than anything else
you can think of.
This is no common stomach remedy for
it took years of time to combine Pepsin
with the other effective agents that make
Dare's Mentha Pepsin so good hat the
worst case of indigestion and gastritis
and other chronic stomach ailments are
speedily overcome and the most badly
deranged stomachs are made clean, strong
and healthy.
Mr.. Calvin Dilks, of Alloway, N. j., a
man of few words, knows this for he
writes: Il entirely rid myself of an old
catarrhal condition of the stomach with
Dare's Mentha Pepsin."
No matter what your stomach trouble

H. j. Dennis & Co. or any druggist any
where, with the distinct understanding
that if it doesn't do you the world of good
