A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies fcr Dyspepsia
and Indigestion
The national disease of Amer

tri Hing stuinach trouble, when an
a matter of fact, indigestion Ivys
lhe founda’iou for many incurable
diseases. No persons with a vig
orous, healthy stomach will fall a
victim to consumption. Many kid
ney d.spaees and heart troubles
date their beginning from poor
digestion, thin, nervous people are
really so because their s’omacbe
are out of gear; weary, languid,
faded out women owe their condi
tion to imperfect ii digestion.
When nearly every person you
meet is afliicted with weak diges
tion it is not surprising that near
ly every secret patent medic ne on
the market claims to be a cure fur
dyspepsia, as well a score of other
j troubles, when in fact, as Dr.
Werihier says, there ie> but one
genuine dyspe F s’a cure wh'ch is
perfectly sate and reliable, and
moreover, this remedy is not a
patent mecicine, but it is a scien
tific combitation of pure pepsin

are made for them, but for indi
