Of buffalo to Cross the track. The animals
seemed to have no fear of the locomotive,

WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA?

Among the many symptoms
of Dyspepsia or indigestion
the most prominent are: Vari-
able appetite faint, gnawing
feeling at pit Of the stomach,
with unsatisfied craving for
food; heartburn, feeling of
weight and wind in the stom-
ach, bad breath, bad taste in
the mouth, low spirits, gen.
era1 prostration, headache and
constipation. There is no form
of disease more prevalent than
Dyspepsia, and none so pecu-
liar to the high-1iving and
rapid-eating American people.
Alcohol and tobacco produce
Dyspepsia; also, bad air, rapid
eating, etc. BURDOCK BLOOD
