A CARD.

Editor of Spirit of Democracy:
In reply to many letters and inquiries from
people in this section of the country, the un-
d~ersigned take great pleasure in saying
through the columns of your paper, that our
renowned preparation known as GOES DYS-
PEPSIA CURE, is a certain cure for Dys-
pepsia, in its worst stages. Many cures of
long standing within our own acquaintanc,
have been completely, and we believe perma-
nently cured, 1t will 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 y~souring, or rising on the stomach. 1t is
an infallible corrector of Indigestion and con-
stipation, creates a healthy appetite, stops
sick headache, heart burn, sickness at the
stomach, pains, 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 ezadicated
Dyspepsia with all it's attendant suferings
weaknesses, debility, and loss ofpower, giving
instead, a proper activity and tone to the
stomach and organs of digestion, and as VIC
conddantly believe, and as the published Ger.
tifcates in our circulars, almanacs, and il
many of the leading Journals. from conval
escent patients will CONFIRM, completely, per
manently, and almost ~miraculously SQUIRE the
worst case of Dyspepsia in existence" W.
warrant 1t in every instance. 1t can be OBJ

States aud canadas, at slice per bottle, OF
