When this spot happens to be the stomach, nervous dyspspsia results, | appetite vanishes and gives way to dull dread, uneasiness and a hollow, gnawing feeling that keeps up until every nerve in your body seems on edge. The food you force down wont digest properly, and you're all in— down and out for one day at least | so far as being really useful to your- | self or anyone else is concerned, | Its the height of folly to force the i digestion of food with some pepsin pill when the stomach nerves are in such shape. Nervous indigestion comes from the nerves alone. Get | the nerves right and all distress will vanish. Thanks to a remarkable chemical discovery, it is now possible to feed ‘Lha nerve cells with the exact stim- { ulus they require when overworked and unstrung and a preparation call- ed Margo Nerve Tablets is producing remarkable results in the treatment of Nervous Dyspepsia, and other | nerve disorders. They make a re- | markable change in any person in ten minutes by the watch, strength- ening the stomach and charging tne nerve cells with strength, poise, power and tremendous reserve cn- ergy and giving nerves of steel, a clear head and brain, courage, pow- er, quick wit, and real vital vim.
