They say I looked like dead and guess I had a pretty close shave. I had been having more or less stomach trou ble and bloating with gas for past two years and could get no perma nent help. Talking with a friend about my attack, he advised me to try Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy. I have not had any gas or stomach trouble since taking it eighteen months r,go.” It is a simple, harm less preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stom ach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.
