IS YOUE STOMACH STEONG ? TIII3 a pertinent question, and one that every individual should periodically endea vour to answer honestly. The stomach is the vital centre of the human system; it is the organ from which all other organs are fed and derive their strength. Who ever knew of a strong man with a weak j stomach, that is, a man whose digestion j was impaired. Is your stomach strong ? Are your bowels regular ? Is your blood rich and pure, and your skin free from pimples, boils, and blotches ? Is your liver sluggish ? Do you feel bilious, nervous, depressed, and irritable ? If so you are not well, and f you do not promptly take Impey's May Apple, the ideal family medicine, you will soon be very ill. Impey's May Apple is sold by chemists and storekeepers at 2s 6d ber bottle, or may be obtained post free from the Wholesale Agents, Sharland and Co., Ltd., Wellington
