THOSE GNAWING RATS.
A Common and Curious Illusion.


Ifelt as though rats were gnawing at the
coats of my stomach" Three famous men
have all left this expression on record in
their writings. They were all sufferers
from chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, of
which the horrible sensation they thus de-
scribe is a symptom. Other signs are a
heaviness and distress after eating, bad
taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable
appetite, fatulency, broken sleep, bad
dreams and nightmares, biliousness, fatigue
and WEAKNESS without labor, ETC., etc.
We work with our head and nerves and
this makes the dyspepsia of the student,
the business and professional man, the
worried man and the majority of women.
We throw food, often unassorted and in ex-
cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom-
ach, and bring on acute infammatory dys-
pepsia or gastric catarrh, with symptoms
and results which make life terror. Ask
anybody who has it.
The best of medicines is the new medi-
cine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by DIR.
David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kings
ton, N. Y. It has proved brilliantly sue
cessful in maladies of the digestive and
nervous systems and in disorders of the
liver, bladder and kidneys. All druggists
