A RE questions being propounded to ma daily by
n letter from inyalids now using OF about 70 use
/" BLISS DYSPEPTIC REMEDY" For The benefit
Of all whom may concern will answer these ques.
tions. To the first question, answer-Eat anything
that is good, wholesome, substantial, and nourishng.
To The second question, answer-Eat as much as
you are accustomed 10 eat, or whatever would be
considered sufciency BY the generality Of healthy
people, To the third question, ! answer-No, for if
you do, you never will get we'll. No dyspeplic. or
any other person laboring under chronic disease ever
got rid of his disease ever will by starving himself
To question four, answer-No for meat is q most
important article Of diet to the invalid dyspepc. To
question five, answer-No, if you are accustomed TO
drinking it The question as TO whether tea and coffee
are injurious is all moonshine.
Such advice as the above 10 adyspeptic and TO per.
sons laboring under chronic diseases generally, will
no doubt be read and regarded by great many with
surprise; and am greatly mistaken if the above is
not pointed at by many sagacious and wise heads as
proofs either that know nothing Of the diseases which
pretend TO treat, that it is phase in the
humbug line. But, hold on bit, all you that think
so-throw the old fogy aside for moment and let us
see about this matter. Wewon't stop to inquire how
You came by your dyspepsia, bat we will enquire.
why is it that you have not got we'll of it long ago!
Why is it that it sticks to you ormentng you 10 that
YOU are no manner Of account! Simply because the
powers of the system unable to throw OFT the d.
sease-because the system has, from some reason oe.
come too much enfrebled-too much reduced in vital
force-too much in weakened state; or that the e1'
tent severity or stronghold that the disease has gotis
too great for the Wis metucatrx naturae-the powers
of the system to remove This is The reason and the
only reason, that you are not well. Well, now are
you to be cured! BY rursung such course OF treat
ment as shall help out the Wis mecutatrix haturae-
the powers of the sys.em-by instluling a treatment
that will bind up, strengthen, give tone, and Vlgor,
and lend helping hand to the entire general system,
by which she may be enabled to throo OF TINS
az for instance regular out Of door exercise, cold oah
ing travelling, change obscene &C., and the taking OF
medicinal agents. Why is medicine taken! Simply
10 assist nature to throw off disease, and nothing else.
Medicine has not on particle ofinuence or disease,
not one particle. Medicine don't cure diseases 1t only
assists nature to throw it of. Now comes the ques-
lion; while we are doing every thing in our power 10
bind I'D and strengthen the general powers oi the sys
tenn that she may be enabled to throw of this disease,
shall we at the same time deny her her natural stmu.
las her natural srenghener shall we withhold thar
by which she is nourshed and supported. VIZ :-tood'

The taking Of good and substantial food is as essentai

All this, we grant, says my sagacious lreno, o9
continues he what's the of person if bis stomach
is in An unfit state receive and digest that food and
prepare it for the system and BESIDES says he there

food upon the stomach in consequence OF the grea,
distress it causes Now this is very important ques
ton, and very true remark. There would be but
little Use in taking this good wholesome and substan
lia food unless the stomach could receive and dges
IT, and too without pain and distress; and that the
| stomach may receive and digest the food, and with
out pain recourse must be had to medicinal agents..
By these, if judicious choice is made among III,
remedial agents, the stomach may be enabled TO per
form its unclions-may be enabled 10 receive and di
gest tie food and too without pain or di'tress. Nov
comes the queslon-what remedial agent shall w
use Shall We use calomel! No! because in it.
action it stimulates the mucus membrane ofthe stom
ach and bowels, which are already in an ouer ercitet
and infamed state. Shall We use iron or any of IL
kindred preparaons No for the same reason.-
They would not only stimulate the already over excl
ted mucus membrane of the stomach but render it still
further unable to prepare those preparations for thei
admission into the system, so if their presence in tn
stomach did no harm, they could not possibly do an!
circulation. -
Shall we Use any of the many "speciics " that ar
nowadays placed before the people as "soveregI
remedies I" No for nine ien,ls of them are pre-
pared with a!s1as! 2, s0ms Other equally stimulating
