Neither would thousands of others We
refer to vogeler's Curative Compound it
does SO much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that people
have found that it is the one true specific.
And what are stomach troubles? The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis
eases and ailments which affect us proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures indigestion. Here is one
instance:
Mr.. W. Bowel, of "a, Pnory Street, VIM
chester, Col, writes: 81 wish to state that
my wife has been taking Vogeler's Curative
Compound for a long time, and it is the
only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without bottle now"
When we stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula of one of the most eminent living
London physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived from its use, will not
now be without it at any cost.

1t was with silent alarm that young
William Baker, the most bashful boy
of his class, noted the steady progress
of an internal pang- 1t became so
acute finally that he could maintain
his composure no longer and he cried
outright.
The gentle school teacher came down
from her chair upon the dais and. plac-
ing her hand kindly upon the boys
head, asked him what was the matter.
William only sobbed. He dare not
designate his trouble by the rude term
under which it was known to school,
boys. His better instincts told him that
such language was not suited to the
ears of a lady.
But after hearing much tender SYM

him to be a polite phrase of diagnosis.
