liable to cause pneumonia which is
so often fatal, and even when the
patient has recovered the lungs are
weakened, making them peculiarly
susceptible TO the development of

NilIionsire's Poor Stomach.

The worn out stomach of the over.
fed millionaire is often paraded in
public prints as horrible example of
great wealth. But mIlionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with
bad stOmachs. The proportion is far
greater among the tOilers. Dyspepsia
and indigestion are rampant among
these people, and they suffer far
worse fortunes than the millionaire
unless they avail themselves of q
standard medicine like Green's Aug

troubles for over thirty: five years.
