HOW TO GET DYSPEPSIA,
Together with a Few Thoughts az to How
to Get Rid of 1t.

to Get Kid of 1t.
There are great many ways, more or less
short and easy TO disorder the stomach
and produce that state of indigestion
which IS commonly known dyspep-
sia One Of the most recent is to eat
locusts- These insects are strange food for
respectable people to eat. For centuries the
Digger Indians on the Pacific coast have lived on
a regular diet of grasshoppers; but these people
are a coarse lot of savages and the grasshoppers
couldn't hurt them One of our most learned
professors is said to have taken to eating locusts
an experiment Hens are very fond of Iocusts,
but after eating them In large quantities they
lay eggs with pale yolks, showing that there ia
something in the locust diet which exerts a pe-
culiar influence on the internal economy of the
hen. Cats eat locuStS IN vast quantities, but it
would take more than locusts to injure the di-
gestive apparatus of a cat. A policeman, not
long ago. had some locusts made into pie. After
eating the pie, he had an attack of dyspepsia or
something worse which nearly killed him. No
body will ever know whether the locusts or the
pie-crust fare responsible for the sorrows of this
guardian of the public peace.
Professor Riley, the great entomoIoCst at
Washington, not only eats locusts, but says that
they cure people of dyspepsia. He was thin
and spare when he began this diet and he has
fattened up or it wonderfully. He steams his
locusts, and makes them into sort of cake, or
pie, which, after pressing and cooling 1t, he cuts
into slices.
Yet his example will probably not be widely
followed 1t is safe to predict that as an article
of die, locusts will not be popular in this COM
munity.
Then, as to curing dyspepsia, we have much
simpler way and one which is far nicer than the
use Of locust meat. AS to what this way is let
us consult some of our neighhors who can tell
US about 1t from personal experience.
The writer called on Mrs. Hoover 81 West
Washington street. and made inquiry to-
what she knew about dyspepsia in the house
hold.
1T was not myself" said Mrs. Hoover, ''bue
my daughter ANNA, who had dyspepsia. She
had quite complication of disorders with it,
too. She is away from home on visit now. I
would like you to see her, but | tell you
about her. Besides dyspepsia, she had catarrh
and dropsy; and she was in such weak and
debihtated state that we were very much
alarmed about her. Somebody recommended
Browns Iron Bitters to her, and with the first
bottle she took she began to mend She took
half a dozen more bottles Of the Bitters and
Kept on improving all the time. The diseases
did not all leave her at once. but they did leave
her: Since that she has had no return of them,
and we call her entirely WELL"
That is surely good record for Browns Iron
Bitters. Now let US visit Mrs. Ochiltree, II
West Seventh street
WAS it dyspepsia Mrs. Ochiltree?n
Yes sir, and good deal of debility with it,
too. Two years ago / was nursing baby, a
bright, healthy child you see he now is. sir b,1t
he was great drain on me. My stomach g0i
out of order and my digestion was bad and I
sick headaches, and altogether / began to
be in quite a bad WAY. l had
book about Browns Iron Bitters, and I
thought this must be a medicine that had some
thing in for me. So got bottle. Why sir, it
was the very thing had been needing, took
it cautiously at first, and in very small quanti-
ties. for it was sort of stranger to ME, and l
was little afraid of it. But soon | saw that
there was nothing in it to fear and that it was
doing me good. Oh! how that Bitters did Brace
me up! I never had any medicine do me so
much good. 1t drove out my dyspepsia, gave
me strength, and made new woman Of me.
You may say that believe very thoroughly in
Browns Iron Bitters."
And SO, from every direction. People get
dyspepsia in all sorts of ways. But the general
testimony is that this way of curing it is the
one which wins the hearts of the people. Browns
Iron Bitters is so easy to take, and so pleasant,
and so efficient that it is no wonder the people
call for it with greatly increased demand
Not only for dyspeptics is Browns Iron Bitters.
but for those who suffer with constipation,
headache biliousness, kidney troubles backache
and other ailments. 1t has worked wonders,
and is working more
