DYSPEPSIA.

sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous excitement, excess or imprudence in eat ing or drinking, and various other causes, induce Constipation followed by general Arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and stomach, in which the disorder of each organ increases the iniirmity of the others.
 The immediate results are Loss of Appe- tite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure of physical and mental yigor, distressing sense of weight and fulness inthe stomach, and increased COstivenesS, all of which are known under one head as Dyspepsia.
 mevery instance where this disease does not originate from scrofuous taint in the blood, AYERS PILLS may be confidently relied upon 10 effect a cure. Those cases not amenabe 10 the curative influence of AYERS PILLS alone will certainly yield if the FILLS are aided by the powerful blood purifying properties of AYERS SARsAPA- RILLA.
 Dyspeptics should know that the longer treatment of their maady is postponed, tne more difficult of cure it becomes.
