DYSPEPSIA REMEDY

In placing this Remedy before the Public,
we will only refer to the following certificate,
which expresses ali that we Feed say. And
being from one who has experienced beneficial
results from its use, after having given it q
thorough trial, his words carry more weight
than anything we could say.
GENTLEMEN -
For number of years was greatly Attic
ted with Dyspepsia, and although my stomach
crBved food, it would immediately reject it,
should eat anything, no matter how small
the quantity. was frequently compelled to
leave the table, without being able to take any
nourishment. In short time became very
much reduced in flesh, and was so weak that I
was unable and unfit to attend to my business.
My mind was in no better condition than nv
BODY, as was constantly oppressed with lassitude
and depression of spirits. / tried all the pat
ent medicines and prescriptions that heard
of, and some of these afforded me temporary
relief, but in short time relapsed into my
former condition.
While suffering in this manner, I heard of
@. F. Cations Dyspepsia Remedy, and con-
cluded to try it. L had taken it but shor-
time when l began to feel relief and continuing
to takei it, l soon could partake of my meals
without any disagreeable feeling, either while
at the table or afterward, and gained flesh rapt
idly. 1t is now nearly ten years since, and l
have continued free from anything like return
of Dyspepsia. can therefore recommend it to
any one suffering in like manner.
Respectfully yours.
