FOTR Fermentation and Undigested Foo MAKES YOU FEEL FIN Your Druggist Has a Preparation Called Diapepsin Which Will Cure You Before You Realize It. Some people think they have Indi- gestion, others Catarrh of the Stom- ach, others Nervousness, Cancer cr Dyspepsia, etc. Call it this 4f you will, but the real name for your trouble i3 Food Fermentation, with only partial digestion. Everything you eat turns to either Acid, Stomach gas or Stom- ach poison, which weaken the diges- tive organs, causing a lack of gastric juice. Your food sours, is only half digested, and you become affected with loss of appetite, pressure amd fullness after eating, burning sensation, a feel- ing of vomiting, heartburn, water brash and tenderness in the pit of the stomach, slimy tongue, bad taste in the mouth, constipation, nausea, belch- ing of gas, dizziness, sick headaches, mental depression and many other common symptoms. You can cure all this by not eating, by not putting any food in your stom- ach to ferment; but how about the nourishment needed to sustain your bodily strength? If you are a stom- ach ‘sufferer, either man or woman, young or cld, whether you call it Indi- gestion or any other name, g0 now to your druggist and give 50 cents for a case of Pape's Diapepsin. Every . possible - kind of Stomach trouble is readily cured by Diapepsis, which takes right hold of the food in your stomach and digests it alor without the help of the stomach, just as if your stomach wasn't“fhere. After a few days’ use of Diapepsin your Stomach will again be in good working_order, your meals will thor- oughly digest and ~our intestines will be cledn and fresh, and you will have no use for laxatives or liver regu- lators.
