I had little or no appetite, and my digestion was very poor. My physicians could not get at the cause of my trouble, as my digestion seemed so much impaired. I decided to try Rydale’s Stomach Tablets, being assured by a friend they w’ere a good dyspepsia medicine. After using them for a few days, I began to realize that I was getting better. I gave up the doctor’s pre scription and have gained 20 pounds while using two boxes of these tab lets. I never felt better in my life, and accredit Rydale’s Stomach Tab lets with having cured me.
