Can Now Eat and Sleep in Comfort. If troubled with indigestion or sleeplessness you should read what Miss Agnes Turner, Chicago, 111., has to say: "Overwork, irregular meals and carelessness regarding the ordinary rules of health, grad ually undermined it until last fall I became a wreck of my former self. I suffered from continual headache, was unable to digest my food, which eemed to lay as a dead weight on my stomach. I was very constipated and my complexion became dark, yellow and muddy as I felt. Sleep lessness was added to my misery, and I would awake as tired when I went to sleep. I heard of Chamberlain's Tablets and found such relief after taking them that I kept up the treat ment 'for nearly two months. They cleansed my stomacn, invigorated my system, and since that time I can eat and sleep in comfort. I am today entirely well." Limits Loans! an
