Facts About Indigestion and Its
Relief That Should Interest
You.
Although Indigestion and
Dyspepsia an; so prevalent, most
people do not. thoroughly under
stand their cause ami cure. There
is no reason why most, people
should not eat anything they de
sire if I hey w ill only chew it
carefully and thoroughly. Many
actually starve themselves into
sickness through fear of eating
every good-looking,, good-smelling,
and good-tasting food, be
cause it does not agree with them.
The best thing to do is to lit
yourself lo digest any good food
We believe we can relieve Dys
pepsia. We are sso confident of
(his fact that we guarantee and
promise to supply the medicine
Tree of all cost lo everyone who
will use it, who is not perfectly
satisfied with the results which it
produces. We exact no promises,
and put no one under any obliga
tion whatever. Surely nothing
rould be fairer. We are located 1 Itexall Store
rigblhere and our reputation
should be sullicieut assurance of
the genuineness of our offer.
We want everyone troubled with
Indigestion or Dyspepsia in any
form to come lo our, store., and
buy a box of Itexall Dyspepsia
Tablets. Take them home and
give them a reasonable trial, ac
cording lo directions. Then, if
not salislied, come lo us and get
your money back. They are very
pleasant to take; they aid to
soothe the irritable stomach, lo
strengthen ami invigoVale the di
geslive organs, and lo promote a
healthy and natural bowel action,
thus leadinir to perfect and
healthy digestion and assimila
tion. A 2"ic package of Itexall Dys
pepsia Tablets furnishes 15 days'
treatment. In ordinary cases,
this is snllh'ient to produce a cure.
In more chronic cases a longer
treatment, of course, is necessary,
and depends upon the severity of
the trouble. For such cases, we
have two larger sizes which sell
for fine ami $1.00. Remember, you
