gives the‘stomsth perfect rest by di-
gesting what you out without the stem
ooh's aid. The food builds up the
body, the rest restores the stomach to
health. You don't have to diet your-

Cure. J. D. Erskine, of Allenville,
Mich, says, “i suffered Heartburn and
Stomach trouble for some time. My
stater-in—Iaw has had the some trouble
and was not able to eat for six weeks.
She lived entirely on warm water. At-

She now eats heartily and is in good
