Mrs. III. Wri att

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused bv a
arrangement OF the female organism.
and which, while IL causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic.
but has peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
As proof Of this theory we call at
tention TO the case Of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, n. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia T.. Pink

thing else had failed. She writes:

Flies on Ocean Steamers.

Among the things that furnish oc
cupation for the eyes and minds OF
transatlantic voyagers are the house
flies which accompany the great
steamships from one side OF the ocean
to the other. In fine weather the flies
buzz cheerfully about the sheltered
places on the decks. and when the
wind blows high they take refuge in
tho cabins and saloons The flies
often remain with the ship while in
port and return with her on the next
trip. thus crossing the ocean several
times In succession.

The celebrated DR.. Abernethy of
London was firmly of the opinion that
disorders OF the stomach were the most
prolific source OF human ailments In
general. A recent medical writer says
Seyery feeling, emotion and affection
reports at the stomach Cthrough the
system of nerves. and the stomach is
affected Il a Geo bddg3 + i the VIE ae
continues, $50 we may be said to live
by land he might well have said tIarouqhl
the stomach.n He goes on to show that
the stomach is the vital center of the
body. He says rthe function OF die
gestion in its several stages ia to pre-
pare the food in forms which are sulta-
able to be added to the structure"
meaning the structure OF our bodies.
He continues, Nevery Phystca! action
from simple breathing, thinking and
circulating OF the blood to the most
active bodily exertion wears out por-
tions Of the structure (of our bodles)
and they become dead and so require
to be taken away speedily. Much OF
the food which we take, and especially
when unWholesome or in excess, adds
to1the waste material, and when 1t has
undergone chemical changes it is still
more mischievous.n Then he goes on
to the effect that the nervous system
prompts every part OF the circulating
system, He says wit gives its message
Of glands and follicles to unload them
selves of waste material SO that the
current Of blood may carry it away"
"When these two processes OF nutrt-
ton and excretion are thus carried on
with equal assid lity we are in health,
but when this equilibrium does not
exist there comes disorder and disease.
The common form of such derange-
rnent is Indigestion or dyspepsia. The
function of nutrition is interrupted
and all the operations which depend
tons It has q way of appearing in
other types of disorder. Many of these
often nislead physicians. Other parts
of the organism are likely to be in-
yolved, and we may fnd consumption,
kidney complaint, hepatic (liver) dis
orders, hysterin and even mental
alienation Cderangement(.n He says
q il may be observed that deranged
persons have a woe-be-gone express
sion, offensive breath, Irregular action
Of the bowels, hallucfnations and other
like conditions of dyspepsia"
The foregoing is no doubt rational
view Of the sad havoc worked In the
human system by indigestion and dys-
pepsia, torpid liver and kindred de-
Engagements, which are generally assoc
dated with or followed by many other
diseases of diverse appearance, but att
depenGli1lg upon the GUeuk aud dtg-
ordered stomach. Cure the stomach
weakness and you cure all these dis
eases and arrangements.
For weak stomachs and the conse-
uuent indigestion or dyspepsia, and
the multitude of various diseases which
result theretrom, no medicine can be
better suited as q curative agent than
