If you had some Diapepsin and would take a little now your stomach distres or indigestion would vanish in five minutes and you would feel fine. This harmless preparation will di- gest anything you eat and overcome a sour, out-of-order stomach before you realize it. If vour meals don't tempt vou, or what little you do eat seems to fill you, or lays like a lump of lead in your stomach, or if you have heart- burn, that is a sign of Indigestion. Ask vour Pharmacist for a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a little just as soon as you can. There will be no sour risings, no belchin of undigested food mixed with wir no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling in the ston ach, nau- sea, debilitating headaches, dizziness, or intestinal griping. This will all go, and, besides, there will be no undigested food left over in the sto- mach to poison your breath with nauseous odors. Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure for out-of-order stomachs, because it prevents fermentation and takes hold of your food and digests it just the same as if your stomach wasn't there.
