_ Life A digestive aid that never works overtime! 'HE next time you feel uncomfortable after eating, try a couple of Gastrogen Tablets. They will give you quick relief from your in- digestion, heartburn or gas—without in the least interfering with your normal digestion. For Gastrogen Tablets never go too far, as soda bicarbonate and preparations containing it are very apt to do. With alkalies of that kind, the least overdose leaves your stomach with an alkaline residue that is almost as un- welcome as the hyperacidity itself. For normal, healthy digestion requires a slight acidity of the stomach—1-5 of 1 percent —and until nature restores this balance, proper digestion is out of the question. Gastrogen Tablets stop when they correct acidity Gastrogen Tablets have the happy faculty of overcoming hyperacidity quickly, then stop- ping their work. They cannot alkalize the stomach. You could eat them all day, and the excess would only pass through your system harmless and unchanged. So, if you suffer from digestive distress, give Gastrogen Tablets a trial, Find out what it means to correct indigestion without hamper- ing digestion! Gastrogen Tablets are mild, safe and effec- tive. They drive away the discomfort of indi- gestion, heartburn and gas in ten to fifteen minutes, They have a spicy, aromatic flavor that everybody likes, and as an agent for sweet- ening the breath they can hardly be excelled Your druggist has them in handy pocket tins of 15 tablets for 20c; also in cabinet-size bottles of 60 tablets for 60c.

While problems piled in pyramids, The task eclipsing every other Was saving Lottie’s daughter, Dids, From that demoralizing mother. Now, Doctor Pell, a scheming quack, Examined Lottie, looking solemn, And artful Mary cried, “Alack! You've hurt your poor, dear spinal colum: So Lottie went to bed, and stayed, Well pleased with all the care they gave her, While Dids grew up, a lovely maid, The pride of her who sinned to save her. Her sense of sin rebuked a too Self-righteous pose of high sur- render, And that’s why Mary Bascom grew More helpful, tactful, wise and tender. A child should not be ruled too much (Though maybe steered with skil- ful touches) ; A mother must not be a crutch, But one to cure all need of crutches.
