Dyspepsia Is one of the most prevalent Of
diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
IL In n more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life aud happiness. What the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
is the touing up of the entire system. For
tify the system and it will do its own fight
ing, and promptly eject any intruding
disease. The success OF DR.. Ayers Sarsa-
