DO Saintcd-Hundreds of Thousands of
Sufferers In This Country-TaIks with
Several Unfortunatcs.
If over man discovers suro euro for
dyspepsia, he may live thereafter In u mar
bio palace, Keep French cook and own a
steam yaoht-nnd DO canonized after his
death. Tho world Is waiting for q dyspep-
sia euro. 1t is II pity that whilo Mr. Por-
ter was taking his census he didn't find
out how many dyspcptics thoro nro in this
country, but in tho absence of exact infor-
nation it may bo safely said that the num-
bcr runs up into hundreds Of thousands
They all want to DO cured.
Anybody can SEQ that this country is
full OF dyspcptics il no will take tho trou-
bio to mako list of his friends and then
put crosses against tho names of those who
suffer moro or less from dyspepsia
Tho testimony OF Nil tho dyspcptics is
that neither doctor nor medicine cures
them. Whenever n new man onlists I'M
der tho dyspcptic flag, no is sure to get ad-
vico from ono Of tho veterans something
like this:
keep away from tho doctors. They
can't euro you. Two had moro than so
doctors myself, and might rs we'll have
saved my money"
IIoro ORC II few statements from nco-
phytos, invctcratos and fortnnatos who
havo escaped from tho tyranny and tor
turo of tho diseases:
Dyspepsia! You ask mo If Two over
had it! L should think had had it,
It's young woman of 30 who is talk
ing and sho goes on to tell how she has
suffered.
Always when 1 don't want it 1t
comes" sho says. Got an invitation to
dinner, and it's suro to attack me Mt about
O'Clock. If father buys tickets to tho
thcator, I'm bound to stay at home be-
cause just about tho timo for starting that
horrible dyspepsia comes along and says:
1 guess wouldn't 60 to tho play tonight
You'd better remain in the house and en-
joy my society,"!
"Do you know, I really believe that I
should havo married long ago If 1t hadn't
been for this dyspepsia. Wouldn't it DO
nice to have tho wedding fixed for 4
O'Clock and then have ono Of my attacks
como on at about 3:45 and DO compelled
to spend tho rest of tho afternoon saying
oh! oh! wish 1 was dcnd9' And then
tho papers would como out and tell how
tho groom was Mt tho church, and tho ush-
ers, and tho invited guests, and that all
hands waited two hours and then went
homo without seeing tho bride"
This young woman's unclo is an OK
dyspcptic. IIo used to havo dyspepsia so
badly that in his agony no would throw
himself upon tho floor and writho thoro.
What gave it to me-" said he, lis moro
than l know, but that had it 1 know
very we'll. l went to doctors and took
medicine, and dicted and exercised, but,
like tho girl in tho swing, tho moro 1 said
'WhoaP somebody else said, Let her go!'
and kept having tho thing worse all tho
time. All Of q sudden it stopped, and I've
been FREQ ever since. Why it stopped is
moro than know. 1 wish 1 did know; it
might be worth millions to NO."
This sudden Abandonment of q victim
after torturing him for months Or years
is ono of tho pcculiarities of tho disease.
A woman who is in the samo social circle
as the two already quoted tolls her expert
onco in this way:
After having had dyspepsia steadily
for three years / camo to New York from
tho country and found my brother law
Ill. began taking caro- of him and work
ed day and night experimenting the
nurses and managing tho house From
that time to this Two been absolutely free
of dyspepsia"
How do you account for it2''
"Why, 1 quit thinking Of myself and
worrying about my digestion. 1 suppose
that that was what cured mo-"
II don't SEQ how that can be-" said the
person to whom this experience had been
narrated. My attacks orc quito likely to
como on mo when am thoroughly forget
full Of myself. For example, 1 had ono yes
terday whilo was enjoying myself ever
so much. just had to run away from
my friends and get homo and go to bed.
It seemed rs though I'd die riding I'D in
tho street car"
WELL" said barber, who has been in
tho dyspepsia business Off and on for the
last 30 years, ''thoy's good many kinds
of dyspcpsy."
IIo said this when ho was asked to OK.
plain tho apparent inconsistency exhibit
ed in tho two cases last spoken of.
Yes" continued tho barber, ''they s
several kinds of dyspopsy, and tho only
thing for a person to do is to study his
own case and govern himself accordin.
Now, I'vo spent fortune on myself, but
amt got no euro. can relieve myself
now though. Whom l feel dyspcpsy comm
on, get q crust Of ryo bread, and chew
it and chew it till it's rs flno us powder
That makes saliva, and that's what tho
stomick wants. Tho crust of bread is my
regular cure, chat and bcin careful about
what l eat. Never eat no pastry, nor pota-
toes, nor anything that's rich or heavy.
It's an awful disease, dyspepsy is, but
thcy's lots of 'em that's got it,"
Talk about dfting is something that
comes from every dyspcptic, but it is sell
dom that ono meets person who has hit
