would shake off some of the professional fet-
tiers which bound me with Others for years, and

by Dante in his trip to the Internal regions,
which endured from dyspepsia, and recalled

My dYspeptic condition was produced by

When in this frame Of mind, desperately in
need OF help, but expecting none, one of my
unprofessional friends called my attention to
some unusual cures wrought by prominent

Statements so outspoken as the above and
coming from such reliable source are valua-
bic beyond question. They conclusively show
not only the power of the remedy which has
become so well known and popular but the
great Importance of attention in time to the
first indications Of declining health. When
professional men of such high standing sink
their prejudice and willingly declare their be-
lief in that which they know to be valuable,
the public may confidently follow their ex-
ample.
