The most miserable beings in
the world are those suffering from

More than seventy-fve per cent.
of the people in the United States
are afflicted with these two diseases
and their effects: such as sour

costiveness, palpitation of the
heart, heartburn, waterbrash,
gnawing and burning pains at the
pit of the stomach, yellow skin,
coated tongue and disagreeable
taste in the mouth, coming up of
