Surprising Cure of Stomach Trouble.
When you have trouble with your
stomach or chronic constipation, don't
imagine that your case is beyond help
just because your doctor fails to give
you relief. Mrs. G. Stengele, Plain
field, N. J., writes: "For over a month
past I have been troubled with my
stomach. Everything I ate upset it
terribly. One of Chamberlain's ad
vertising booklets came to me. After
reading a few of the letters from
people who had been cured by Cham
berlain's Tablets, I decided to try
them. I have taken nearly three
fourths of a package of them and can
now eat almost everything that I
want." For sale by all dealers.
For Cuts, Burns and Bruises.
In every home should be a box of
Bucklln's Arnica Salve, ready to PW
in every case of burns, cuts, -wornm
or scalds. J. H. Polanco, Deivaife.
Tex., R. No. 2, writes: "Bucklin's Arn
ica Salve saved mv little girlJsiajr
foot, No one believed It couYik .
cured." The world's best salve, Orajpr
25c. Recommended by al' duggisSai.
