A Natural Result.

1t Is very reasonable to suppose II
the foundation of structure was re-
moved that the building itself Is
bound to come down. This same
principal can be applied to disease.
Take medicine into the system that
will remove the cause of sickness, and
the illness leaves OF itself. Dyspepsia
indigestion, sick-headache, and oili-
BUSINESS have their foundation in
stomach disorders Remove this
weakness and the other symptoms
