DYsPEpsIA. That most troublesome and
painful of all diseases, it is now ascertained,
can be effcctually cured. Many have been the
preparations gotten up to attain this object,
but with one solitary exception, We believe,
all have failed of their purpose. DIR. j. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters-the one referred to
however, has proved such an invaluable RENE
dy for all diseases Of the stomach, that no one

from foul stomach, should not fail or hest
