Years ago when the Smith Broth
ers placed their NJ. A. G. Stomach
Tonic on the market, drug stores
throughout the country were liter
ally swamped with preparations al
legged by their makers to have great
virtue in the treatment of stomach
complaints. Today most of those
medicines are gone and forgotten,
while Smith Bros NJ. A. c. has q
bigger sale than ever.
II is the old story OF honest mer-
it achievin gsuccess in spite Of
every obstacle. Stomach sufferers
who used NJ. A. G. found lasting re-
lief and told others about it. That s
why the demand for this remedy
has continued to grow year after
year.
NJ. A. c. is remarkably effective
in all forms of stomach distress,
such rs Indigestion, dyspepsia
heartburn, sour stomach, nausea an9
excessive gas. Absolutely harmless
pleasant to take. You are pro
tected by a positive guarantee of
