Men, as a rule, are first discovered
by their enemies. Their antagonists
turn on the searchlight, and the proof
of merit will lie in being able to stand
the flash.
1T was only in this way that Mr..
White ever knew that dyspepsia was
one of Mr.. Blacks worst enemies.

table. ne handed his afflicted friend the

say you have dyspepsia and be done

There, there is a tablet that contains
an ingredient, one grain of which di-
gests 5000 grains of food. For even the
worst dyspeptic it's the only thing that
really gives relief. The reason is it re-
