STOMACH YOUNG BRIN Every bite of food you eat MUST be digested, and the waste matter eliminated. That's sure. If your stomach is sluggish and old, from the excessive acids which keep eat- ing away the gastric juices, you must dissolve them, or you never will be ' free from indigestion, sour risings, bloating and drowsiness after you eat. Get a package of Pape's Diapep- sin from your nearest drug store and chew one of the tablets after meals. Instantly the distress is re- lieved, it dissolves the acids, sweet- _ens the stomach and you will have an appetite again like vou had when a child. All drug stores have Pape’s Dia- pepsin. More than 5 million pack- . ages are used a yvear.
