variety of ailments.
For twelve years its success as a protect

this fact. that the efficacy of the article as
specific for dyspepsia, biiousness, constipa-
ton, nervousness, general debility. and in
termittent fevers, has never been questioned.
As proof positive of its infalibility in
such cases. the statements of public men
whose names are familiar as household words,
have from time to time been given to the
world.
Ii its reputation is not founded liz facts,
then truth is a shadow, and the uttcranccs
of conscientious citizens are of no more val

And what is its reputation Let the
