It doesn't matter how long-stand- ing your stomach trouble may be- it doesn't matter how bad your pain is-Maclean Brand Stomach Powder will almost certainly ease it away- and its cause as well.

Take the case of Mr. J. R. Ever since he left the Army, after the last War, he suffered from Gastric Trou- ble. He had all his teeth out, but got no relief. He tried une cheap remedy after another, but the trouble remained

Read his own words:

"I was mad with pain, no one knows how awful I felt, i decided to get

Brand Stomach Miclean Powder. Well, I took a teaspoon- ful and a-half and was absolutely surprised how the pain faded away. It's wonderful.”

Why not try this famous powder (or the tablets) for your stomach; trouble? You won't have to endure stomach pain much longer if you do! But make sure you see the signature "ALEX. C. MÄCLEAN" on carton and bottle, Maclean Brand Stomach Powder is never sold loose, but only in bottles. The tablets are available In bottles, or flat tins.
