Actually Causes II.
The narrative below by prominent
scientist touches-a.s subject of universal
importance. Few people are free from
the distressing evils which hypochon-
dria brings. They come at all times
and are fed by the very flame which
they themselves-start. They are dread
of coming arrangement caused by pres
ent disorder and bring about more sui
cides than any other one thing. Their
first approach should be carefully guard
ed.

my prospects FOR recovery were not very

physician and he advised me to take

of morphine, two or three times dav, for
the weakness and distress in my stom-
ach, and blue pill every other night to
relieve the constipation. The morphine
produced such a deadly nausea that |
could not take it, and the blue pill failed
to relieve my constipation.

the highest possible rank in the treat
ment of all diseases marked by debility,
loss OF appetite, and all other SYMPTOMS
of stomach and digestive disorders. 1t
is Overwhelmingly superior to the tonic
bitters, and dyspepsia cures of the day.
ana Is certain to be so acknowledged by
the public universally. Thousands of
people to-day are going to premature
graves with these serious diseases, that
have above described, and to all such
would say: Do not let your good iudg-
ment be governed by your preudices
but give the above remedy fairand pa
tlent trial, and believe you will not
only be rewarded by perfect restora-
ton to health, but you will also be con-
vinced that the medical profession does
not possess all the knowledge there is
embraced in medical science"
