DIR. WURTH'S OPINION
OF TIE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDICINE.
A REMARKABLY SUCCESSFUL REMEDY
FOR DYSPEPSIA. INDIGESTION AND

ize how important sound stomach and vigorous
digestion Is TO every man. woman and child.
Indigestion IS the starting point of consumption,
heart disease, Bright's disease. diabetes nervous
piostration, liver troubles; why is this so? Simply
because every nerve, muscle and tissue in our
bodies is created and nourisbed from the food We
eat. If that food is, by reason of weak stomach,
compelled to lie for hours sour, fermenting mass
of f-digested food 1t posons the blood and
nervous system. creates gas which distends the
stomach and bowels causing pressure on the heart,
lungs and other organs, and seriously impeding
their action.
He says further, the point TO direct attention Is
not the nerves. nor heart, lungs. nor kidneys,
Tut the stomach, the first of all the mischief
The remedy TO for indigestion and weak
