her? At the same time, she sometimes
finds il a little hard.

A Disease with A Thousand symptoms.

Dyspepsia is the most perpleXing of all human

variety, and the forlorn and Respondent victims OF
the disease often fancy themselves the prey in turn
of every known malady. This is due, in ipart, to
the close sympathy which exists between the
stomach and the brain, and in part also, to the fact
that any disturbances ofthe digestive functions nee
essarly disorders the liver the bowels and the

ity of the blood. medicine that, like Hostcttei's
Btters, not only tones the stomach but at the same
time controls the liver, produces a regular habit Of
