MEDICINAL.

Like fash Of lightning. sudden and
startling, disease strikes down many a
man. Yet there have been warnings
upon warnings, unheeded. Food has
lain like heavy weight in the stomach
after eating. There have been belch-
ings, bitter risings in the mouth, nerv-
ousness, sleeplessness and growing irri-
liability. Instead of listening to these
warnings, recourse has been had TO some
of the nerve numbing palliatives that
cover but never cure disease. Many
serious diseases begin in diseased con-
dition of the stomach and organs OF
digestion and nutrition. For such dis
eases there is one medicine which rarely
fails to effect a complete cure. DIR.
