Distressing Malady Has Baffled Medical Profes-
 sion for Years
DISEASE IS DURABLE;
 OVERLAPPING CAUSE
Victims Are Whimsical and Melancholy, and Suffer
 Great Depression

"Of all the distressing conditions that affiicit humanity. chronic dyspepsia is probably the most prevalent" said Mir c. F. Willis private secretary to l.. T. Cooper, who is now in the city personally experimenting the introduction of Tanlac' the celebrated formula that has been ac- complaining such remarkable results in ether cities.
 This most universal malady has baffled the medical profession for years and the most skilled specialists have been unable to cope with it successfully. But Mother Nature herself with the aid of what is deemed the best skill in chemistry has compounded in her wonderful laboratory the most rational and satisfactory remedy ever discovered for this ailment; as has been so convincingly and conclusivey proven by the thousands who have testi- fled to it's superior merit,
 Hours might be consumed in describing the sufferings, mental and bodily, Of the victims of chronic dyspepsia and their failure to heretofore get relief A morbid unreal, whimsical and melancholy condi- ton of the mind aside from a nervous physical suffering is the usual condition of the average dyspeptic and life seems scarcely worth the living.
 Quoting from one of MT. Cooper's re- cent lectures on this subject, MT. Willis said:
 Dyspepsia, or what is more commonly known as indigestion, is caused by the taking of too much food or unsuita ble food and the mucous membrane of the stomach becomes iIritated and there is set up an acute or sub-acute gastric catarrhal condition which prevents proper digestion of the food.
 The food is apt to ferment and decom- pose and as a result the familiar dis tressing symptoms of dyspepsia may arise In mild cases there is nothing mo- e than an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach with a certain amount of de- pression headache, loss of appetite, per- haps belching of gas and occasional Vom- iting. There may be also accompanying intestinal symptoms such as constipatiJsa pains in the back, cholic, etc.
 There may be only the familiar he .rt . burn due to the imitation of the stomucn from excessive gases of fermentation or putrefacton. In the most severe cases. hose that last over a day or two, the symptoms enumerated may be much more intense The distress may be mark d and the general constitutional symptjms more evident. When this stage is reached. he loss of appetite the mental depression and the. general uncomfortable feeling n the stomach are much more pronounced This is particularly true in acute gas tritis.
 Most cases of dyspepsia can be cured if the diet is properly looked after and with the proper treatment. Proper eating and the proper amount of food, together with plenty of fresh air and exercise are among the most important features of the treat nent Most people eat too fast and too much.
 T am convinced" continued MT. Cooper that the stomach regulates the coLdi L n of the blood and is the fountain head pf health or disease as the case may be- My medicine is intended primarily for the regulation of the stomach and the co"rec- tion of catarrhal inflammation but it Is no uncommon thing for persons who Ina e used the Tanac treatment to come to me and explain that it has relieved them If Rheumatism. kidney disorders and ] any ailments not generally recognized in hay ing their origin in stomach trouble
