ALKA-SELTZER
BRIGHTENS
** /Zi4jL MY DAY
sm u
Occasionally, i wake up in
the morning with a Headache.
It sometimes wears off along the
middle of the forenoon, but I don’t
want to wait that long, so I drink a
glass of sparkling ALKA-SELTZER.
In just a little while I am feeling a
lot better.
Sometimes the week’s ironing tires
me and makes me sore and stiff
Then it’s ALKA-SELTZER to the
rescue — a tablet or two and a little
rest makes me feel more like finish
ing the job.
And when I eat “not wisely but
too well,” ALKA-SELTZER relieves
the Acid Indigestion that so often
follows.
Yes, Alka - Seltzer brightens my
day. It brings relief from so many
of my discomforts, that I always
keep it handy.
Why don’t you get a package of
ALKA-SELTZER at your drug store
today?
