cure-Alls No Longer Tolerated.

In early days every barber shop was
an operating room and the town physi-
clan resorted to bleeding as the sure cure
for all ailments from chicken-pox to
cholera. AS a result, many, including our
first President, died prematurely.
The present low rate OF mortality IS
due in large measure to the advances
made in medical science and the knewl-
edge of the specific Treatment needed
for each disease known.
There is no disease more common among
American and English people than dys-
pepsia. So prevalent has 1t become that
thousands suffer with 1t half unconscious
