IN Invaluable nemedy .Eor Indigestion in
its most complicated forms.
nFthe variety of diseases to which the human sys'
" TEN is subject, few are more stubborn, none more
distressing OF destructive to the constitution than In
digestion or Sour Stomach. This disease prevails TO a
great extent, AMI has so generally 5atfled the skill oil
the faculty, that a remedy easy of administration is tru.
ly a desideratum in every place. The truth OF this
statement is confirmed by the experience OF thousands
who have suffered under it, who after having used
many remedies to no purpose, are now obliged to have
recourse to such palliatives, AS they may chance to lind
most conducive to their comfort BY indigestion is
meant loss Of appetite and great weakness, particularly
of the legs, and 4 wasting Of the whole system. Heart.
burn, or an uneasy sensation OF heat about the pit OF
the stomach, which is sometime attended with nausea
OF sickness of the stomach and vomiting, belching up
of water wsichis generally sour, pa'eness of the coun-
tenance, costiveness, lang"ur, glddiness, lowncss OF
spirits, disturbed sleep, palpltation of the heart, tiatu-
lency, sc.
These symptoms vary in different persons, some ex-
periencing more of them, and some less, each in the
order and degree of his own particular case. These
pills act as a powerful tonic, neutralize the acid upon
the stomach, gives strength to the debilitated org ANS
of digestion, restore the appetite, remove nausea at
tie stomach, and ultimately recover the heilth OF the
patient. They do not contain mercury in any fern,
nor do they sicken the stomach as most purgative me
dicines do, but perform the office Of a safe and mild
purgative, and are not surpassed by any medicine
they are therefore particularly calculated for family
use.
The inventor of these Pills was one of the most emf
nent practitioners of medicine in the United States,
and used them successfully in his practice for many
years. They are not got up as a nostrum to dclude
the credulous, but are recommended on the basis Of
truth and experience. In order that they may become
extensively useful and within the reach of all, they are
offered at the low price of 50 cents per box, by
