Time -it! In five minutes all stom- ach distress, due to acidity, will go. No indigestion, heartburn, sourness or belching of gas or eructations of undi- gested food, n-6 dizziness, bloating, foul breath or headache. Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed in regulating upset stomachs. It is the surest, quickest stomach sweet- ener in the whole world, and besides it is harmless. Put an end to stomach distress at once by getting a large fifty- eent ease of Pape's Diapepsin from any drug store. You realize in five minutes how needless it is to suffer from indi- gestion, dyspepsia or any stomach dis- order caused by fermentation due to. excessive acids in stomach.
