and the demand increased so rapidly that in a few
years scarcely village existed In the United
States in which the afflicted had not experienc ed
and at the preSent day there are be found IN
ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD vouchers for the
great merits of the article. No greater cure for
Dyspepsia can be found See advertisement. For
sale by Druggists and dealers everywhere.

Of sixteen months; next, in reducing him
to serve under Gen Pope, which he pro
