GNAWING PAINS BETWEEN MEALS

Of all the painful forms which stomach trouble takes, is there anything that is more depressing than the gnawing pain that makes its appearance like clockwork between meals ?

Mr. A. B. was a victim to these pains, and was beginning to despair of ever being without them until one happy day... But read his letter:

For the past 10 years I have suffered from terribloguswing' pains in my stomach.

'These pains always occur between meal-time. I tried scores of diferent medicines without result until ̈I ́tried taking Maclean Brand Stomach Powder. From the first dose. I felt a new man. Every time these pains conis on I take a dose of Macleans and in a minute or two they have vanished. I am never without a botile of your stomach powder in the house.
