A STARTLING STATEMENT
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia TO be a Pre- Disposine Cause
Of Consumption.

The post norton statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that some cases
OF consumption are due. at least indirect
IT, to unchecked dyspepsia, especially
when the victim was predisposed to tu-
berculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, The weakened, irritable stomach
being unable to digest food, the body does
not receive the required nourishment, and
the victim becomes thin, weak and hag-
gard. As a result, the body becomes a
fertile field in which the germs of disease
may lodge ana flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits dys-
pepsia to progress unhindered is guilty of
contributing toward the development of
one of the most insidous and fatal dis
cases known to mankind
Dyspepsia may be completely eradicated
II properly treated. We sell a remedy
that we positively guarantee win com
