NAPOLEON KNEW!. "AN ARMY MARCHES ON ITS STOMACH.” History has shown ns that much of Nanoloon’s success was due to the close attention he paid to his commissariat section. Napoleon realised early in his career that a man who was ill-nourished made a poor soldier. In the great general’s own words: “An army marches on its stomach.” It is the same with the private citizen. If your stomach is hot in good working order, if you suffer from indigestion, flatulence, or gastritis, yotir fond fails to nourish you. and you begin to lose your strength, energy, and “nerve.” business or work becomes distasteful. You get thin, run-down, depressed, “nervy,” and listless. You lose your "dash.” Look after yonr stomach and all will he well. Banish indigestion and similar disorders of the stomach by taking Anti-Acido Anti-Acido enables vou to take hearty meals of good, wholesome food without pain or discomfort. Totir body is nourished in a natural way. and health, strength, and energy are restored. Price 2s 6d. If unable to obtain, "rite to P.O. Box 153, Dun edin. —Advt.
