The Christmas Dinner.

In spite Of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any to do that-let
us hope so for the sake of the cook
The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad
stomach, that is a weak stomach,
rather than bad cook, and for a
weak stomach there is nothing else
equal to Hoods Sarsaparila. 1t gives
the stomach vigor and tone, cures
dyspepsia, creates appetite, and makes
eating the pleasure it should be.
