Indigestion

IS notSonly distressing complaint, Of
/ itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.;-
"Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years l suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. . All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla / could see an Improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day, and after few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, / found myself well

duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life"

Stamford, at the base of this mount

ideal mountain resort. God has done
much for Stamford, and Dr. Churchill

with just enough civilization to soothe
existence and teach us to pay for what
we get. We often find spots where
nature has broken the record in getting
together the elements of health and
beauty, but man, poor, weak measly
man, gets in there, and robs and holds
up and knocks down and drags out his

Stamford, by some singular accident,
has fallen into good hands. That is why
the same people have been coming here
summer after summer for sixteen or
eighteen years. That is why the place
is thrifty little eighteen karat orna-
