Many are the causes, when the stomach either refuses to take any food or to digest it. It may bo from overwork, both physical and men tal, grave diseases, weakness, excite ment, worry or excesses. The patient quickly loses strength and energy a-.) J becomes tired and careless. In such cases we can conscientiously recommend Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine, because it gives satis faction. It greatly stimulates the exhausted and starved stomach to normal activity, makes It to accept any food and to do its share In the digestion and assimilation of it. It strengthens the Intestines to make them able to finish the digestive process and to make new blood, which carries nourishment to every part of the body. At any time when the stomach will refuse to work, as It should, use Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine. At drug stores. Jos. Trlner. 616-622, Ro. Ashland Ave, Chicago, 111. Home From California.
