| persons are the victima of dyspepsia or in
fdigestion, but its willing victims. Now,
we would not be understood to say that any

Of all the mutifarious diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one SO
generally prevalent as dyspepsia. There
are diseases more acute and painful and
which more frequently prove fatal, but
none the effects of which are so depressing
to the mind and so positively distressing to
the body. If there is wretched being in

A CONFIRMED DYSPEPT1C.
We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps
the most universal of human diseases.
This is imphatcally the case in the United

Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful prepar ration than can be
learned from the experience of others?

They purify the blood, cleansing the
vital fluid ,:all hurtful impurities and su-
planting them with the elements of genuine
healthfulness.

unpalatable, but who find it impossible to
take them without positive discomfort For
