The national disease of Americans is
indigestion or in its chronic form, dy-
spepsia, and for the very reason that il
Is so common many people neglect taxi
ing proper treatment for what they
consider trifling stomach trouble, when
as a matter of fact, Indigestion lays
the foundation for many ircurablc di-
seaSes. No person with vigorous,
healthy stomach will fall victim 10
consumption Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion; thin, nervous peo-
pie are really so because their stom-
achs are out of gear: weary, languid,
faded out women owe their condition
to imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion IL H.
not surprising that nearly every secret
patent medicine on the market claims
to be cure for dyspepsia ~ well as a
score Of other troubles, when in fact.
as Dr. Werthier says. there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per
fectly safe and reliable. and moreov-

cine. but is II scientific Combitation of
