Indtgestton Is Ended forever Out’of^ordet Stomach FeelsFint Five Minutes After Taking a Little Diapepsin, Nothing will remain undigested or sour on your stomach if you will take a little Dlapepsin occasionally, Thi& powerful digestive and antacid, though as harmless and pleasant as candy, will digest and prepare for assimila tion into the blood all the food you can cat. Eat what your stomach craves, without the slightest fear of Indiges tion or that you will be bothered with sour risings, Belching, Gas on Stom ach, Heartburn, Headaches from stomach. Nausea, Bad Breath, Water Brash or a feeling like you had swal lowed a lump of lead, or other dis agreeable miseries. Should you be be suffering now from any stomach disorder you can get relief within five ipinutes. If you will get from your pharma cist a 50-cent case of Pape’s Diapep- sin you could always go to the table with a hearty appetite, and your meals would taste good, because you would know there would be no Indi gestion or Sleepless nights or Head ache or Stomach misery all the next day; and, besides, you would not need laxatives or liver pills to keep your stomach and bowels clean and fresh, Pape’s Dlapepsin can be obtained from your druggist, and contains more than sufficient to thoroughly cure the worst case of Indigestion or Dyspepsia. There Is nothing better for Gas on the Stomach or sour odors from the stomach or to cure a Stomach Head ache. You couldn’t keep a handler or more useful article in the house. A fair exchange is no robbery, | but the trouble is to find a fair ex-j change. SPECIAL NOTICE Having purchased the stock of Terra-Cotta Pipe, Flue and Chimney Lining. Thimbles, etc,, from Mr. C.
