Greatly Improved
Since Beginning
Argotane Course

"Since taking Argotane. I have
improved wonderfully Mr.. Law
renee Lee Boyd. who on Route
No. /, Taft, near Corpus Christi
Texas. told the local representa-
tive Of the Argotane company the
other day.
Il have been suffering for seven
years from stomach and liver
troubles" continued Mr.. Boyd. MY
liver was sluggish and ! suffered
from terrible pains in my stomach
ct night. When I got up in the
morning. I was usually bothered
with headaches. And when I ate,
my food would not digest. but would
sour on my stomach. resulting IN
gas formations that caused me
much distress. Often I had pains
across my back and kidneys.
When Argotane was offered 70
the public in Corpus Christi re-
received. When SO many people be-
gan praising 1t and telling what 1t
had done for them, I knew ii must
be a good medicine, 50 I started the
treatment myself.
I'm mighty glad I did, for Argo-
tame has brought me a lot Of re-
lief. I never have headaches In
the morning now. The soreness has
left my back and kidneys, and my
food no longer sours on my stom-
ach.
ITS q r2lief to sleep well at
night once more. and not have to
worry about what I eat. Argotane
has ended that Sor me. and I know
1t is a good medicine. I am glad
to recommend IT,"
Genuine Argotane may be bought
in Brownsville at the Martinez
Drug Stores. No. / Market Plaza
and No. 2 Victoria Heights.
