pears that there was usually a greater

THE FEAR OF HUM5Uo
Prevents Many People From Trying
Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
pie are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical, per
manent cure for dyspepsia and indiges-
ton. Many such pride themselves on theiI
acuteness in never being humbugged, es-
pecially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
ton rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claimi
made of preparation SO reliable and uni
