Artificial Digestion.
Is that all you want? It is not all that
you can get. T. & P. Stomach Tablets
contain the best digestive agents. These
digest the food; but if this was all
they would not and could not cure you.
They have combined with these digest
ive ferments, Tonics that act directly on
the organs of digestion, and Laxatives
that regulate the Liver and Bowels, put
ting the system in condition to perform
its own work. This means that if yon
will half way take care of your stomach
a cure is certain.
T. & P. Stomach Tablets are for sale
by all druggists. 50c. a box.
