~ No. 81 Market Street. Pittsburgh

SIR: take great pleasure In stating that, after
having suffered from dyspepsia for about fifteen
years, At some periods much more than others,
have been entirely cured by the use of Goes Dys-
pepsia Cure My friends know that of late years my
case has been an extreme had great suffering
from eating any kind Of food, and on an average
would vomit ,out one third of my meals in sour,
ipdigestible mass When the severe attacks would
come, would Lose all strength and be utterly help
less Some OF the attacks would be that
days together would not retain anything on my
stomach, save little dry toast and tea. For yeats
knew not what it was to pass five consecutive hours
without intense pain. From the time took the first
dose Of this medicine ceased vomiting, gradually
all soreness passed away, and flesh and strength re-
turned, and ever since have been able to eat any
kind OF food set upon the table. Six months have
now passed without any symptoms of the return OF
the disease. My case was considered by all, even
physicians, so marvellous, that Tor time it fear
ed it might be fictitious: but am now so well con-
vinced, that have been not merely relieved, but
permanently cured, that can conscientiously re-
commend Goes Dyspepsia Cure to all victims of dys-
pepsia.
