HUNGRY
Many a grown person would be
glad to experience genuine hun
ger—the kind they knew in child
hood. To abstain from eating
brings a sense of weakness rather
than real hunger. Food is need
ed but the stomach is tired. It
lacks strength and tone and
chronic dyspepsia is IhreateneM.
Monument
Stomach Bitters
helps tired stomachs. It assists
in the process of digestion, re
lieving the stomach of a portion
of its burden. It also has a di
rect tonic influence, restoring the
stomach to normal strength and
vigor. Whether the disorder is
acute or chronic, slight or severe,
use it and be well and hungry
again.
