"A Valuable Little Book Sent Free for

Medical books are not always inter-
esting reading, especially to people en-
joying good health, but as matter Of
fact scarcely one person in ten is per-
fectly healthy, and even with such,
sooner or later sickness must come.
1t is also we'll established truth
that nine-tenths of all diseases orig
mate with a breaking down Of the d.
gestion, weak stomach weakens and
impoverishes the system, making it
easy for disease to gain a foothold.
Nobody need fear consumption, kid
ney disease, liver trouble or a weak
heart and nervous system as long as
the digestion Is good and the stomach
able to assimilate plenty of wholesome
food.
Stomach weakness shows itself in a
score Of ways, and this little book de-
scribes the symptoms and causes and
points the way to cure so simple that
anyone can understand and apply.
Thousands have some form of stom-
ach trouble and do not know it. They
ascribe the headaches, the languor,
nervousness, insomnia, palpitation,
constipation and similar symptoms to
some other cause than the true one.
Get your digestion on the right track
and the heart trouble, lung trouble,
liver disease or nervous debility will
rapidly disappear. N
This little book treats entirely on the
cause and removal of indigestion and
its accompanying annoyances.
1t describes the symptoms of Acid
Dyspepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow
Dyspepsia. Ambiguous Dyspepsia, Ca
tarrh of Stomach and all affections of
the digestive organs in plain language
easily understood, and the cause re-
| moved.
1t gives valuable suggestions as to
diet, and contains table giving length
of time required to digest various ar
ticles of food, something every person
with weak digestion should know.
