The man or woman with good digestion see beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles they meet in the routine oi life, where the dispeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and growls at even imaginary objects. The world still needs two or three new kinds of medicine before death can be perfectly abolished ; but that many lives have been prolonged, and many sufferers from Liver disease, Dispepsia and Headache, have been cured by Mor rell’s llepatiue, is no longer a doubt.
