'How Many Dyspeptics
Can Say `Phis?
The sufferer from dyspepsia and indi-
gestion who has to pick and choose his
food, is the most miserable of all man-
kind.
Even the little' he does eat causes such
torture, and is digested eo imperfectly
that it does him little good.
What dyspeptics need is not dieting or
artificial digestants, but something that
will put the stomach right so it will
manufacture its own digestive ferments.
For over 40 years Burdock Blood
Bitteie has been restoring stomachs to a
normal, healthy condition so that the
foal no longer causes distress, but is
thoroughly digested and assimilated, and
the dyspeptic can eat what he pleases
