identical course with reference to the

issue between the doctrine of self

A GUARANTEE
To Every Person Suffering
FROM DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION, CONSTIPATION,
OR ANY DISEASE OF DIGESTIVE ORGANS.
HYOMEI DYSPEPSIA CURE
The Only Guaranteed Cure, the First Rational
Treatment for these Diseases.

Ever since the medical profession dis
covered that food was not dlSeSted IN the
stomach at all, but only prepared in this
organ for digestion by the intestines,
they were enabled to partially under
stand why the number OF persons atf1ict-
ed with this disease has SO steadily i'll
creased in spite of all their efforts and
the thousand and one cures on the mar
ket. They were further enlightened some
time later when IL was found that III
treating this disease, III its two most
prevalent forms, acid dyspepsia and in
digestion tone requiring an acid and the
other an alkaline treatment), they, and
every manufacturer, had been giving
both remedies in the same dose. and that
one counteracted the effect of the other.
These two serious blunders very readily
account for the fact that ninety-four per
cent. of the grown population of this
country are now suffering from dyspcp-
STA, for how could Il cure designed to as
sist the stomach digest the food. be of
any use when the food is not digeStcd by
She stomach at all, or what effect could
an acid or an alkaline treatment have
when taken together if one neutralized
the effect of the other; of course, the last
mentioned mistake could be rectified by
prescribing these remedies separately,
but to obtain remedy by which intesl-
nal indigestion could be cured was an
other thing. This disease. the most dan
EerOus form of dyspepsia known, and
the true Of appendicitis. was found
to come from bacilli, which lodged in the
intestines, creating inflammation and
causing fermentation. thus rendering
the food unfit for Observation-Disclosures

powerful germicide. and as there was
none such known which could be used
internally without injury to the patient,
