bad to worse until in the end it
became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a
warnnig to others.
Every one who suffers with
dyspepsia for a few years will
give everything he owns for a new
stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused
by an abnormal state of the
gaslric juices, or by lack of tone
in the walls of the stomach. The
result is that the stomach loses
its power lo digest food.
We are now able to supply cer
tain missing elements to help to
restore to the gastric juices their
digestive power, and to aid in
making the stomach strong and
well.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are a most dependable
remedy for disordered stomachs,
indigestion and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and
will return your money if you
are not more than satisfied with
the result.
Three sizes, 25 cents, 50 cents,
and $1.00. Remember, you can
obtain Rexall Remedies in this
able time. At the proper time
dainty refreshments were served
by the hostess and a little later
all dispersed, voting Mrs. Pat

Our Life.
A life without variety would not
be worth living. Pleasure and
happiness would not be ap
predated without occasional dis
comfort and pain. This teaches
us to be prepared for distress and
to know how to get rid of it quick
ly and positively. If the discom
fort is physical, if it is caused by
some irregularity in our diges
tion, we should know that Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine is
the remedy lo rely upon. It
heals the irritated digestive or
gans and strengthens them at the
same lime. Being made of rich,
red wine and scientifically select
ed herbs, it makes the blood rich,
pure and healthy. This blood
nourishes every particle of the
body, which explains the speedy
strengthening of the whole sys
tem by using Triner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine. Use it as
soon as you will feel weak,
nervous, indisposed, in loss of ap
petite, constipation, headache,
colic and cramps. At drug stores.
