Doctor. II Feels Ii 6 a Ball Of FUel!

So speaks oftentimes the sufferer
from Dyspepsia. After eating, it seems
as If there was vt'rtGblc ball of fire
running UP and down through his
stomach. If he eats much he feels il;
If he don't eat much he feels it. IL
destroys his enjoyment Of life. If the
doctor be really desirous Of curing his
patient he should not experiment with
the sufferer, lie should recommend him
to use PERUVIAN SYRUP, whose merits
have been tested so long, and always
satisfactorily. Bulls of fire in the stoin-
acIi and PERUVIAN SYRUP can't dwell
together. Send to your druggist; he
keeps 1t always really, and try it. 1t
will work like u charm.
