persons are the victimp of dyspepsia or in.
digestion, but its willing victims. Now,
we would not be understood 10 say that any
one regards dyspepsia with favor or feels
disposed TO rank it smong the luxuries of

peptic: What is this remedy? to which we
reply: This great alevator of human
suffering is almost as widely known as the
English language. 1t has allayel the
