A CARD.

Editor of Spirit of Democracy:
In reply to many letters and inquiries from
people in this section of the country, the nm
dersigned take great pleasure in saying
through the columns of your paper, that our
renowned preparation known as GOES DYS-
PERSIA CURE, is certain cure for Dys-
pepsia. in its worst stages. Many cures of
long standing within our own acauaintanc,
have been completely, and we believe perma-
aently cured. 1t viii stop distress after
eating almost simultaneously, and enables
the dyspeptic who has lived for years upon
Graham bread and the plainest diet, to eat
as heartily as heartily as he pleases, and any
thing he chooses without danger of distress,
or souring, or rising on the stomach. 1t is
an infallible corrector of indigestion and con-
stipation, creates healthy appetite, stops
sick headache, heart burn, sickness at the
stomach, palms, cramps, or collie in either
stomach or bowels, and sweetens offensive
breath, as soon as you take it, and by enab
bling the patient to take plenty of hearty food
(which is the parent of health" produces
vigor, strength and energy. In every trial
we have known it has speedily e7adicated
Dyspepsia with all its attendant suferings,
weaknesses, debility, and loss ofpower, giving
instead, proper activity and tone to the
stomach and organs of digestion. and as we
confdantly believe, and as the published GER
tifcates in our circulars, almanacs, and in
many of the leading Journals from conval
escent patients will CONFIRM, completely, per
manently, and almost miraculously "cure the
worst case of Dyspepsia in existence"
warrant it in every instance. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at all the Drug Stores in the United
States aud Canadas, at Sl,oe per bottle, OF
six bottles for $500.
