Widely known Dallas pharmacist
who spent twenty years developing an
Internal Antiseptic (for the stomach
and bowels) scientifically combined
with the most effective digestants, foI
which he received $4,000 for the
secret process of compounding. "The
greatest obstacle of the successful
treatment of stomach trouble" said
Mr.. Gordon, was fermentation (sour-
ing Of food matter in the stomach and
bowels), which inhames and irritates
these oragns, produces gas that causes
much distress. Fermentation can be
stopped only with an antiseptic."
Gordon's Antiseptic (for the stomach
and bowels) goes right to the seat of
stomach troubles, as it exercises a dis
tinctly antiseptic as well as a diges-
tive effect in the stomach and bowels.
1t stops and prevents fermentation,
soothes and heals the irritated and in
famed condition of the stomach and
bowels. Relieves Indigestion, constipa-
tion, gas on the stomach, dyspepsia,
heartburn, bloating after meals, excess
acid, bad breath, sick headaches, ner-
vousness, tones up the digestive or
gans and stimulates the stomach and
bowels to their normal functions. A
few doses will convince you. Price
$1.50 for Ga doses, less than &c per
dose. Sold by Palace Drug Store and
other good druggists or sent parcel
