A sans stomach means all the machinery of the buman system working with that clock-like precision of a mechanical engine. That means perfect health.

Wilboul question, Abbey's Salt is the remedy to use. Its superiority to other salines is like that of the present express train

over the travelling coach of a century ago; it is the only up-to-date, 20th century saline in existence. If you try a bottle you will demonstrate to your own satisfaction the truth of this assertion.

Remember, Abbey's Salt will make the stomach sane, the bowels regular, and the blood pure. As a pleasant, cooling, invigorating drink it is unsurpassed. When in need be sure to buy Abbay's Sult,
