his remarkable age, not that so many
persons are the victims of dyspepsia or in.
digestion, but its willing victims. Now,
we would not be understood to say that any
one regards dyspepsia with favor. or feels
disposed TO rank it among the luxuries of

perienced its torments would scout such an
idea. All dread it, and would gladly dis.

or his jolity would have speedily forsaken
him.
| OF all the multifarous diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one so

are disc ases more acute and painful, and
which more frequently prove fatal, but

this wonderful prepai alton than can be
learned from the experience of others?
