There Is no reason or common sense In nny othei method whatever. Peoplo are thin, run down, nervous, pale nnd shaky In their norves, simply bceiiuso their stomachs are weak. They liny not think they havo dyspep sia, but tho fact remains that they do not eat enough food or what they eat Is not quickly nnd properly digested as It should he. Dr. Hnrlandbon Eas the loason Is bo. cause the stomach lacks ceitnln digestive acids and peptones, and dollclent seda tion ot gastric Juice.
