Nest Of Snakes in His Stomach
Sensational Type of Dyspepsia Cured
by Blood Wine,

There are two kinds of bad etomachs
belonging to dyspeptics. One is like
an old leather sack, shrivelled, wrinkled
and deadened. Its walls are 1ifeless,
without muscular energy, and food sent
into it fails to get any digesting at all.
1t becomes simply sour, tough lump,
that clogs and plugs the whole diges-
tive tract.
The other kind of dyspeptic stomach
is that irritated, tender bunch Of nerves,
as sensitive as raw flesh. These nerves
are exposed like the nerves of a de-
cayed tooth tender to the very lightest
touch, even of soft, mushy food. Every
thing eaten causes intense distress.
The way to cure dyspepsia is to build
yourself new stomach. Blood Wine
will do this for you, just as a tailor will
put a new pocket in coat. Here is q
lstter from one of the thousands Blood
Wine has provided with a new, strong,
healthy stomach.

Catarrhal inflammation of the mu-
cous lining of the kidneys, also called
"Bright's disease may be either
acute or chronic. The acute form pro-
duces symptoms of such prominence
that the serious nature of the disease
is at once suspected, but the chronic
variety may come on so gradually and
insidiously that its presence is not
suspected until after it has fastened
itself thoroughly upon its victim.
At the appearance of the first syrnp-
tom Peruna should be taken. This
remedy strikes at once at the very
root of the disease.
