nYSPEPSIA.-To soothe the suferings Of human

grand object of medical science. This is efficiently
demonstrated in the healing virtues of DR. BENJA-

Thus by successive throes the frame is torn,

And although the Head can, undoubtedly, like other
organs, be the seat of primary disorder, yet in the
great majority ofcases the uneasy sensations there
experienced are symptomatic of disordered stomach
and further there is abundant evidence to prove that
crudties in the stomach and bowels can, in every
grade OF human existence, give rise to spasmodc az
