ONE MORE Observation-Disclosures every
day the papers chronicle the suicide of some
poor unfortunate whose mind has been enfee-
bled by dyspepsia, over whose earthly horizon
heavy gloom has gathered from the untold
and unreliable agonies of this cruel complaint.
Dyspepsia is one of the most depressing dis
eases affecting humanity. 1t is cosmopolitan
in its nature-nO country is exempt from its
visitatons, no family free from its attacks.
There is a balm in Gilead; it comes in the
shape of the Peruvian Syrup. For years it has
been scattering its blessings abroad. There is,
probably, no disease which experience has SO
amply proved to be remediable by the Peruvian
Syrup as dyspepsia. The most inveterate
forms Of this disease have been completely
cured by this medicine, as ample testimony Of
many of our first citizens prove.
