HAD CLOSE SHAVE
“My wife and children thought I
was dying when, after an attack of
acute pain s in my stomach, I be
came unconscious. It was right
after Sunday dinner. 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. One dose
will convince or money refunded.
