A Startling
Statement
New York Medical Auth
orities Claim Dyspep
sia to be a Pre-Dis
posing Cause of
Consumption
The post mortem statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due
at least indirectly* to unchecked
dyspepsia, especially when the vie
tim was predisposed to tuberculosis
Dyspepsia wears out the body
and brain. The weakened, irritable
stomach being tillable to digest
food,the body docs not receive the
required nourishment, and the vie
tim becomes thin, weak and haz
zard As a result, the body be
comes a fertile field in which the
gtrws-of disease may lo4go and
flourish.
Therefore, the person who per
mits dyspepsia to progress unhind
ered is guilty of contributing to
ward the development of one of the
most insidious and fatal diseases
known to mankind,
* Dyspepsia may be completely
eradicated if properly treated. We
sell a remedy that we* positively
guarantee will completely relieve
indigestion or dyspepsia, or the
medicine used duting the trial will
cost the user nothing.
This remedy has been named
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Cer
tainly no offi-rc »nld lie more fair,
and our offer should be proof posi
tive tliat Rexall Dyspeps a Tablets

benefit you, we you who are
suffering with indigestion or dys
pepsia to try Kexall Dyspepsia
