Chronic Stomach Trouble Cured. J There is nothing more discouraging than a chronic disorder of the stomach. Is it -not surprising that many suffer for years with such an ailment when a permanent cure is within their reach and may be had for a trifle? "About one year ago," says P H Beck, of Wakelee, Mich, "I bought a package of Chamberlain's Tablets, and since using them I have felt perfectly well. I had previously used any number of different medicines, but none of them were of any lasting benefit." For sale by all dealers. To Care Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine.
