A Startling Statement
New York Medical Authori-
ties Claim Dyspepsia q Pre-
Disposing Cause of
Consumption

The post mortem statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due,
at least. indirectly to unchscksA dy-
spspsia. especially when the victim
was prsdisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspspsis wears out the body and
brain. vhs weakened, irritable stom-
ach being unable to digest food, the
body does not receive the required
nourishment. and the victim be-
comes thin. weak and hasgard. Al
"a result. the body becomes fertile
feld In which the germs Of disease
may lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered 10
guilty Of contributing toward the de-
velopment of one Of the most insidi-
ous and fatal diseases known to
mankind.
Dyspepsia may be completely erad-
icatsd II properly treated. We sell q
