RAPE'S DIAPEPSIN
FOR INDIGESTION
OR BAD STOMACH
Relieves sourness, gas, Heart
burn, Dyspepsia in five
minutes.
Sour, gassy, upset stomach, indiges
tion, heartburn, dyspepsia; when the
food you eat ferments into gases and
upsets you; your head aches and you
feel sick and miserable, that's when
you realize the wonderful acid neutral
izing power in Pape's Diapepsin. It
makes all such stomach misery, due
to acidity, vanish in Ave minutes.
If your stomach is in a continuous
revolt —if you can't get it regulated,
please, for your sake, try Pape's Dia
pepsin. It's so needless to have an
acid stomach —make your next meal
a favorite food meal, then take a little
Diapepsin. There will not be any dis
tress —eat without fear. It's because
Pape's Diapepsin "really does" sweeten
out-of-order stomachs that gives it its
millions of sales annually.
Get a large tifty-cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin from any drug store. It is
the quickest, surest antlacid and stom
ach relief known. It acts almost like
magic—it is a scientific, harmless and
pleasant stomach preparation which
truly belongs in every home.

ETERNAL
FEMININE
QUESTIONS
"How ran I drive away these dis
figuring wrinkles —how can I make my
skin smooth and soft —how can I get
rid of the sallowness and dryness of
my skin and bring back the fresh,
youthful color?"
Women everywhere, everyday are
asking themselves these questions, and
the best answer weVan give is to ad
vise them to go to Gorgas, the drug
gist, or any dealer, at once,
get a bottle of Usit and apply it regu
larly at night before retiring for a
short time. The results, from the use
of this pure nut-oil, liquid prepara
tion are really wonderful. It feeds and
nourishes the skin so that wrinkles
quickly disappear, the skin becomes
soft and smooth, plumpness is restored
and youthful color and freshness re
turn. And some of the nice as well
as the important features of the Usit
treatment are that it is a clean, deli
cately perfumed liquid, and is guaran
teed not to cause the/Slightest hair
growth. You will be delighted with
Usit and if your skin needs attention
get a bottle and begin its application at
once. Freckles, blackheads and many
forms of eczema yield to this treat
ment.
