FREE TO MILLIONS.
A Valuable Little Book sent Free for
the Asking

Medical books are not always interesting
reading, especially to people enjoying good
health. but as a matter of fact scarcely
one person in ten is perfectly healthy. and
even with such, sooner or later sickness
must come.
1t is also well established truth that
nine-tentts of all diseases originate with
brea king down of the digestion. weak
stomach weakens and impoverishes the
system making It easy for disease TO gain
a foOthold.
Nobody need fear consumption, kidney
disease, liver trouble,or a weak heart and
nervous system as lorg as the digestion IS
good and the stomach able to assimilate
plenty of wholesome food.
Stomach weakness shows itself in
score of ways and this little book describes
the symptoms and causes and points the
way to cure so simple that anyone can
understand and apply.
Thousands have some form of stomach
trouble and do not know it. They ascribe
the headache, the languor. nervousness,
insomnia, palpitation, constipation ana
similar symptoms TO some other cause
than the true one. Get your digestion on
the right track and the heart trouble,
lung trouble, liver disease or nervous de-
bility will rapidly disappear
Inns niue DOCK treats entirely on the
cause and removal of indigestion and its
accompanying a1noyances.
1t describes the symptoms OF Acid Dys-
pepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow Dyspep-
STA, Amylaceous Dyspepsia Catarrh OF
Stomach and all affections of the digestive
organs in plain language easily under
stood and the cause removed.
1t gives valuable suggestions as to diet.
