Hot W eather Poisons Hit The Stomach First

How to Keep Your Stomach Strong, Cool and Sweet

Hot weather always starts those

tuick chemical changes which pro­nce poisons in meats, fish, fruits,

vegetables, milk and food products.Such summer poisons in foods not

only make well stomachs sick bat de­velop with dangerous rapid ity in sensative, sick or ailing stomachs and bowels.

These poisons not only generate gases and fluids which cause that Bloated, lumpy feeling, heartburn, sour stomach, belching,acidity,but endless other stomach and bowel miseries.

A sure, safe, quick acting relief has been found which absorbe and neu­tralizes these poisons, too much acid and harmful gases. EATONIC Tab­lets, one or two taken after every meal, will keep your stomach sweet. You ■will have a good appetite to eat what you like, when you want it and be

I t ’s w rong to ta lk abou t a m an be­hind his back. T alk abou t him in fro n t of h is back.

LEMON JUICE TAKES OFF TAN

Girls! Make bleaching lotion if skin is sunburned,

tanned or freckled

free from all those bad effects liable to come after a hearty meal in summer.

EATONIC Tablets are hot weather protec­tors for tbe stomach. They guard against the germa that lurk in the things you eat and drink. They rebuild listless appetites, pro­mote digestion by aiding proper action of the stomach functions and insure speedy relief from indigestion and all stomach distress.

EATONIC is good to eat like candy. People from all oversend grateful testimonials. Tens of th o u sa n d s are obtaining relief w ith EATONIC every day but the best evidence Is to let your own stomach tell you tbe truth. Go to your druggist and get a b ig box of EATONIC. Tell him you want it for the pre­vention and sure relief of stomach and bowel disorders produced by hot weather poisons.

Then if EATONIC falls to satisfy you—re­turn it to yonr druggist, whom you know and can trust. Be will cheerfully refund yonr money. If your d ru g g is t doesn’t keep EATONIC—drop os a postal. It will be de­livered to your address and you can that pay for it. Address, B. L. Kramer, Pres„ 1018 8. Wabash Ave., Chicago. 111.
