Dyspepsia Is one Of the most prevalent Of
diseases. Thousands Of people suffer from
Il in a more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects, on
human life and happiness. What the dys-
peptic needs Is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
is the toning 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-
pariiia in curing indigestion and dyspep-
STA is due to just this quality which 1t
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste and loss of the body.
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level of the weak stomach.
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings 1t up to the level OF
the strong food TT for men. II does this
by strengthening the entire system. The
