Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that "rapid eat! ing is slow suicide." If you have

formed the habit of eating too raDid-

ly you are most likely suffering fromin igeftion or constipation, which willresult eventually in serious illness un-

less corrected. Digestion begins in

the mouth.Food should be thorough-ly masticated and insalivated. Thenwhen you have a fullness of thestomach or feel dull and stupid aftereating, take one of Chamberlain s

Tablets. Many severe casts of stom

ach trouble and constipation have beencured by the use of these tablets.They are easy to take and most agree-able in effect. Sold by Moser & Lutzand Grimes Drue Co. " adv.
