EDITOR OF DEMocRAT--In reply to many let.
ters and inquiries from people in this section ot
the country, the undersigned take great pleasure
in saying through the columns OF your paper, that
our renowned preparation known as GOES DYS.
PERSIA CURE, Is u certain cure ior Dyspepsia
in its worst stages. Many cures OF long standing
within our own acquaintance, have been conf
pletey. and we believe, permanently cured. 1t
will stop distress after eating almost instanta
neously, and enables the dyspeptic who has lived
for years upon Graham bread and the plainest di-
ct, to eat as heartily as he pleases, and anything
he chooses, without danger of distress, or sourng
or rising on the stomach 1t is an ihtallible cor
rector OF indigestion and constipation, crentes u
healthy appetite, stops sick headache, heartburn,
sickness at the stomach, pains, cramps, or collie
in either stomach or bowels. and sweetens Of
fensive breath, as soon as taken, and by enabling
the patient TO take plenty OF hearty fooG, which
is Tho parent OF health, produces vigor, strength
and energy. In every trial we have known it has
speedily eradicated Dyspepsia with all its attend
ant sufferlngs, weaknesses, debility and loss OF
power, giving instead, proper activity and tone
to the stomach and organs OF digestion, and as
we confidently believe, and as the published GER
uhcates in our circulars, almanacs, and in many
OF the leading Journals, ,hom convalescent patients
will confirm completely, permanently and almost
miracuously cure the worst cases OF dyspepsia
in existence.' We warrant it In every instance.
1t can be obtained at oil the Drugstores in the
United States and Canadas, at 81 per bottle, or

DEAR SIR:-1 take much pleasure in in
forming you that my daug ghter is much
better OF her deafness under your ire at
ment. She had the Scarlet Fever, when
five years Of age, which left her hearing
seriously impaired, which seemed also to
be settling bown into permanent, and, as
we much feared, perfect and incurable
deafness.
We were not little fearful and unbe
leving in any efforts 10 cure the case,
having previously applied to other phys,
clans without success. But, under your
treatment, we soon found evidence of de
cided improvement. The offensive dis.
charge soon changed, and indicated q
healthy healing process. We are yet
making use Of your prescription, and we
hope you will not fail TO visit these parts
again soon, as several of my friends are
anxious to see the good Samaritan, tha,
they may obtain little Of the oil Of con
ISOLATION Tor themselves.
Respectfully Yours.
