DIGiSmn TRACT
And Stop Dosing Your Stomach
With Soda and Alkalizera
Don’t expect to get real relief from
headache, sour stomach, gas and bad
breath by taking soda and other alka
lizers if the true cause of your trouble ia
constipation.
In this case, your real trouble is not in
the stomach at all. But in the intestinal
tract where 80% of your food is digested.
And when it gets blocked it fails to
digest properly. .....
What you want for real relief is not
soda or an alkalizer—but something to
“unblock” your intestinal tract. Some
thing to clean it out effectively—help
Nature get back on her fset.
Get Carter’s Pills right now. Take
them as directed. They gently and effec
tively “unblock” your digestive tract.
This permits your food to move along
normally. Nature’s own digestive j uicea
can then reach it. You get genuine rebel
that makes you feel really good again.
Get Carter’s Pills at any drugstore—
26*!. “Unblock” youaintestinal tract lot
real relief from indigestion.
