Fez INDIGESTION FLATULENCE, ACIDITY SILIOUSNESS You
&
Indigestion, with the train of ills which almost invari- ably follows, such as flatulence, acidity, heartburn, headaches, biliousness, constipation, loss of tone or vigour, can be prevented or banished. The first step towards prevention or cure is to get the organs of digestion stomach, liver, and howels-working effi- ciently. Mother Seigel's Syrup is the recognised stand- ard remely for digestive ailments. Its value has been proved in thousands upon thousands of cases. This is because Mother Seigel's Syrup goes direct to the root of the trouble. It acts gently but effectively on the organs of digestion, strengthen- ing and stimulating them to healthy activity. Thus it ensures the proper digestion of the food you eat, and the extraction and assimilation of the nourish ment it contains. Good food well digested is the true source of all physical strength and well-being. Put Mother Seigel's Syrup to the test yourself,
