had for some years to an alarming degree. Your
Dyspeptic Cordial deserves more than passing no
tice from me. My case was of the most distressing
nature, and the conflict between my stomach and
food was often severe the stomach oathing thefood,
and time after time throwing it frequently with
pain. Add to this greatly depressed spirits, with
debility, nerves weakened, restless nights frequent
starting with unpleasant dreams To describe my
situation is difficult. Physicians were consulted,
various medicines tried, but nothing met my case
until met with your Ohio medicine, named Drs.
Dresbach, Kuhn, and Pryor's Dyspeptic Coriial.
Soon after using il my disordered stomach became
soothed. | continued the medince--a perfect cure
has been effected--my health is now good and has
been for more than year. ! can now use any art-
Gle of diet without any Inconvenience. In my case
this valuable medicine is incontestable. My case
is well known to the Rev. J. M. Hanson, having
been associated with him, in the same room, for
some years, in the General Post Office.
