their origin in a disordered stomach.
A physician who made a specially

dyspepsia. after years of study per-
fected the formula from which

ment next March:
''He ventures to make the obser-
vations: That with the exception of
brief interval of a few months he
has been continuously in the serv-
ice since July, 1861. passing through
about every grade from a private of
volunteers, and is fairly familiar
with the details of the service; he
has noticed steady and constant inn
provement in the army proper, but
more pronounced of late years. and
judging from the troops and affairs
that have recently come under his
observation, and presuming that like
conditions prevail in other depart
