III physicians will remember, says
the editor of the Medical Brief. in a
recent issue, that nine-tenths Of the
human race are suffering from indi-
gestion and its concomitant evils, and
direct their treatment 20 the removal
of this trouble, they will earn the good
will and gratitude of their patients
and find themselves vastly more sue
cessfu in practice.
The first step is to regulate the diet.
Many vegetables and some fruits
disagree with delicate stomachs. Juicy
beef, lamb, eggs, milk, fish and fowl,
homemade bread, stale or toasted,
should form the bulk of the diet list.
As TO medicine, the little silvered
granules of DR.. Howard, aspecific for
the cure of constipation and dyspep-
sia and the prevention of apopleXy,
will soon reliev2 and cure. Scores of
people right here in West Randolph
know this TO be a fact. They have

gestion with ore of its silveIed gran

tion and an inactive liver have made
tie world look gloomy and caused
headache and other ills, one dose of
DIR. Towards specific has brought re-
lief to the physical system and happi-
ness to the mind.
Much medicine is an evil. Hence,
the small dose in which this specific is
eflectual has been welcomed by many
physicians. They have found that il
gives the desired effect and has none of
the harmful results that follow the
deluging of the stomach with mineral
water or the habitual use of cathartic
pills and medicines.
DIR. Towards specific for the cure of
constipation and dyspepsia and the
prevention of apoplexy is the one lax
ative known where the dose is dimin-
ished instead of increased after per-
son has used il. Commencing with
three granules IA day, it is not long be-
fore but one will keep the bowels reg
