DYSPEPSIA.

This is very distressing complaint and gives the
patient more suffering than almost any other disease
in fact it is combination of many complaints in one
The symptoms are numerous and are of the nature
almost all other complaints combined From this
fact arise the very many where this disease ia
mistaken for some other and so improperly treated
The first symptoms-indigestion, hatulency, loss of
appetite, heartburn, headache etc., neglected al.
most always awaken some dormant disease and send
the poor sufferer to premature grave. What you
must first do is cleanse the blood and regulate the
bowels; do this with the Mountain Herb pills" and
you can bid defiance to dyspepsia.
