Are You One of Them?There are a great many people whe,
would be very much benefited by tak-ing Chamberlain's Tablets for a weakor disordered stomach. Are you oneof them? Mrs. M. R. Searl, Baldwins-ville, N. Y., relates her experience inthe use of trhese tablets: "1 bad a badspell with my stomach about sixmonths ago, and was troubled for twoor three weeks with gas and severepains in the pit of my stomach. Ourdruggist advised me to take Chamber-lain s Tablets. I took a bottle homeand the first dose relieved me wonder-fuly, and 1 kept on taking them untilI was cured." These tablets do notrelieve pain, but after the pain hasbeen relieved may prevent its recur-rence.
