made complete recovery from catarrh OF

nenrlya quarter of n century. He writes
from IS Hamilton ave-:
"I am ~ years of age, and have had
catarrh of the head for over half of my
life, rs result of scarlet fever, followed
by typhoid fever. I got so bad that I
was almost constantly coughing and
clearing my throat. The catarrh greatly
impaired my eyesight, and the hearing
in one ear, and reduced my weight to
1l0 pounds.
"I tried nearly every catarrh remedy

failed.

from correct. Most supposed heart trouble
is nothing more nor less than indigestion.
OF course that is serious enough bus you
want to know where the seat of the trouble
is, so you can treat 1t properly.
Again, such food as should be digested In
the stomach but is not digested there, passes
into the intestines and bowels where it
causes more trouble. The bowels become
constipated or "clogged up", the waste
matter is not passed off but is to some extent
absorbed back In the system. This poisons
the blood. Then what can you expect? Can
any person think that this poisoned blood
can make healthy flesh, healthy bone, healthy
kidneys, healthy liver, healthy heart. or a
clear healthy, active brain? Is 1t any
wonder that ninety five per cent of the
American people have bodily Affections?
The whole point is this. II people would
digest their food properly most human ills
would disappear. .tH @ M "a
You no doubt would cure your indigestion
IL you knew how, wouldn't you? Certainly.
Now if the digestive juices or fluids are
lacking but we substitute something com
posed of exactly the same elements or in
gradients, isn't 1t common sense that the
result will be the same? II a certain

You have no doubt at some time or other
experienced the annoying and painful symp.
toms Of Indigestion. Digestion is the pro-
cess by which nature transforms our food,
by means of various juices called iigestants,
into blood which is then carried throughout
tho body and used to mako flesh, muscle,
bone. nerve, brain and material of every
Kind Of which the body is composed.
Indigestion may arise from variety of
causes, but generally because some of the
elements which make up the digestive juices
are lacking. t
Undgested food gives you all kinds Of
trouble. ..-.-
In the first place you have a most distress
iG2 feeling in your stomach, especially after
eating. Soon this undigested food ferments
the gas distends the stomach, and in its eff
forts to escape, it causes belchlng. 1t also
,c.uses a pressure against the nerves and

the mind OF the sufferer to the idea that he
has heart trouble. Nothing could be further
