".I have been selling Chamberlain's
Tablets for about two years and
heard such good reports from my
customers that I concluded to give
them a trial myself, and can say that
I do not believe there Is another pre
paration of the kind equal to them,"
writes Q. A. Mclirlde, Ileadford, Out.,
If you are troubled with Indigestion
or constipation give them a trial.
They will do you good.
