THE CHEERFUL IDIOT
And the Glum Dyspeptic.

The cheerful idiot is the individual
who when he sees you come into the
house dripping from the storm inquiries
pleasantly, us il raining2" If you were
whiting and the knife slipped and cut
off the top of finger he would say just
as pleasantly, "Did you cut yourself ?"
1t seems the chief business in the life of
the cheerful idiot to ask fool questions.
Mostly people put up with him as they
do with mosquitoes-because they can't
help themselves. But once in a while
the cheerful idiot runs up against the
wrong man. II was that way when the
c. /. Of the boarding house tackled q
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1902-03-14

miserable looking fellow boarder who
was tortured by dyspepsia. Hello
Smith," he cried, -sren't you feeling
welll' And Smith growled back WITS
none of your business how I'm feeling
Talk about adding insult TO injury
What could be any worse than asking
man who had suffering stamped all over
him, -Arent you feeling we'll ?"
It's rather hard for the dyspeptic to
make a stranger TO the disease under
stand just how much suffering dyspepsia
can cause. Words don't express il.
That terrible gnawing sensation in the
stomach is past description. Even after
you have recited the specific aches and
pains there are no terms to express the
cumulative and combined effects of them
all upon both mind and body
DON'T CULTIVATE DYSPEPSIA.
That would seem unnecessary advice,
yet il is a fact that in the main, people
who finally become dyspeptics seem TO
have studied how quickest to bring on
the disease. They eat irregularly. They
eat unwholesome or innutritious foods.
They eat heartily when they are tired
with days work and the stomach needs
rest instead of exercise. In fact If they
made a study of the quickest way TO
dyspepsia or disease OF the stomach in
general and its allied organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. they could not prac-
tice more successful methods.
When dyspepsia once has its grip on
the stomach the man who has expert
meuted with tablets and powders and
other palliatives without permanent re-
lief finds himself asking the question,
Am | ever going to he well again so
that can eat with appetite and enjoy
ment?r
The one necessity to the recovery Of
health is the cure of the diseases of the
stomach aud other organs of digestion
and nutrition. Tablets of soda, mint,
etc, will for the moment alter the con-
dition in the stomach, but they won't
alter the condition Of the stomach itself
These things are therefore merely pal
liatives. Not only do they not cure but
by sfording temporary relief they iuli
the victim into q false security until he
probably finds himseif some day very
much worss for their use.

HOW DYSPEPSIA IS CURED.

of cases in which the Discovery" has
been given a fair and faithful trial it has
wrought a perfect and permanent cure.
