and that RUNDOWN FEELING

Here is wonderful news for every man and woman in the land. Scientists know that 90% of our common ailments are due too much acid in the system. This condition is caused by eating too much acid-producing fosil, by over-eating, over-working, over-indulgrice of every kind and too little exercle. Excess acid attacks the stomach, nerves, muscles and joints caus- ing Indigestion, Wind, Readaches, Depression, Loss of Energy, Rheumatic Pains, Neuralgia and everyday aches and pains which make life miserable. Now Science has developed an effervescent alkalizing talter which gulckly, safely and pleasantly restores the alkaline balance in your system and banishes excess acid. Drop an "Alka-Seltzer" tablet in a glass of water, and it makes n | sparkling alkalizing drink which by neutralking the excess acid in the stomach and system gives prompt relief from Headaches, Rheus, patic Pains, Saur Stomach, Wind, Heartburn, Acidity, Flatulence and Indigestion pains. "Alka-Seltzer" first relieves the pain and discomfort and then removes the cause.

If you suffer from Indigestion, if you have pain or a feeling of fullness after eating, if you have Wind or Heartburn, a glass of “Alka-Seltzer" will bring you instant relief.

"Alka-Seltzer" is wonderful for relieving Headaches, Neuralgin, Rheu matic Pains, Lumbago and all sorts of aches and pain, and it's marvelous for banishing that terly morning feeling of tiredness and depression. There's nothing like "Alka-Seltzer" for keeping you fit and well and increasing your resistance to everyday ills and epidemics.

Get "Alka-Seltzer" to-day. At all chemists in two convenient ales.
