1t is a well-known fact that all over
this country operations to remove the
appendix are becoming too frequent,
1t is unquestionably necessary course
to pursue after the disease once gets
hold, but, nevertheless, a large per-
centage OF patients die.
Many eminent physicians have stud
led the disease unsuccessfully, and
only until recently has formula,
purely vegetable. been discovered,
that not only serves as a preventive,
keeping the digestive organs in a
healthy condition, but which acts di-
rectly as a non-irritant to the walls OF
the intestine and appendix.
Green Mountain Pearls not only
prevent, but oftentimes cure the
disease, unless too far advanced, when
the knife can only save in very few
cases. The cause OF Appendicitis is
constipation. The contents OF the
small intestine become hardened and
little concretions form, which, by irri-
tating the walls of the intestines and
appendix, set up either liberation or
catarrhal Inflammation. These Jumps
OF hardened faces (concretions) are
rapidly dissolved by the Green Noun
tain Pearls, and the catarrhal condition
relieved by their healing properties.

MIsCELLANEoUs.
MISCELLANEOUS.
An Old Theory
Exploded
Food not Digested in the
Stomach.
This Organ only Prepares II for Assimi-
lation by the lntestines.

Until a few months ago the medical
profession, as well as the public at large,
have always believed that food was
digested in the stomach; but thanks to
science, they are now enabled to follow
the whole process of digestion with their
own eyes from the moment food enters
the mouth until it is taken into the sys-
TEN, or carried off through the bowels.
Heretofore all remedies for the cure of
dyspepsia have been given with the idea
of assisting the stomach to digest food,
and the discovery that this organ does
not digest it at all explains the cause of
their failure to cure the disease, and its
constant increase in spite of the thou
sand and one remedies used. Another
and equally important discovery was
also made; that there are three distinct
kinds of dyspepsia, two of which require
different remedies, and the remedy for
one must be exactly opposite to that
of the other in character. For in
stance, acid dyspepsia requires an aka
line treatment; indigestion an acid
treatment these combined and given
in one dose neutralize each other, con-
sequently, cannot be given together with
effect. The third and most dangerous
of all, Intestinal dyspepsia) requires
germicide which must be harmless, and
yet strong enough to destroy the bacilli
which cause the disease. Understand
ing this and knowing that they possess
the only gernlicide which can be taken
internally without injury, Hyomei)
the r. T. Booth Company have placed
on the market dyspepsia cure, and
the only one made which treats every
phase of the disease separately. That
it has been success is shown by the fact
that they guarantee it; some
thing never done before, and
agree TO return the money if cure is
not effected.
