iu my bowels mat 1 would not hare* passage in less than
four aad oit u eight days; uuder this immense sup
feeing, my miud seemed entirely to giwtfay- I had
dreadful horror abd evil forebodings. 1 thought every
body hated toe aud 1 hated everybody;. I cuald not bear
my my own children, everything appeared to
be horror stricken to me; 1 had no ambition to ck? any
thing; 1 hwiali guy love of tamily aud home; 1 would*
romule and wander from place to place, but could not be
contented; 1 felt that 1 was doomed to hell, and that there
was uo heaven fur me, and was often tempted to commit'
suicide, so umr was my whole nerv«u* system destroyed,
.uni ulau my miua. irom that awlut complaint. Dyspepsia,
tnut my friend* tliuught beat to have me plated in Dr.

nine vvtt ks. ami ’hough I was u little better, but iu a lew
days my dieadiul complaint was raging «e bod us ever.—.
Hearing of the wouoeiiul cures peilbrmed by Dr. Wisitart's

1 called on Dr. Wishaet, and told him If i could have died
I would not have troub.ed him, and then related my suf
fering* tohim. The Doctor assured me if he failed to cure
me »f Dyspepsia it would bo the lirst case in two yeais, so
1 put inyseli -under hull lament, aud although for months
vomiting nearly all i ate. my stomach swelled with wind,
»ud Ul'ed with pain b y> ud description, 1 bought a box ot

Dr. Wisbart— -Sir : —lt ia with much pleasure Until am
now able to inform you that, by the use of your great
American Dyspepsia Fills, I have tsea entirety cured of
that most distressing complaint, Dyspepsia. 1 had been
grievously 'afflicted for la*t twenty-eight years, and
for too years oi that time fcavc ,iot been free from its pain
one week at a time. 1 have had it in its worst form and
have dragged on a rout* miserable vxisteocw—in pain day
night. Every kind of iut-d that 1 ate filled me with
wind and pain, it mattered Hut how light, or how small
the qpancity. A continued belchiug was sore to folio jr.—
I bad no appetite for any kl ids of meats wbaterer, and
my distress was so great for several muother before 1 heard
of your Pills, that 1 frequently wished tor deato. 1 bad
taken everything that 1 hadbeard of for Dyspepsia, with
out receiving any benefit; but otr your Pills being recom
mepded to me by one who had cured by them, 1 con
cluded to give tiipm a trial, although 1 had no faith in
them. To my astuidshmeut, I found myself getting better
before 1 had taken ohe quarter of a box, I ass now a wett
man, and can eat anything J «ci*A, and enjuy a bear*y meal
three tames a uay, without inconvenience from anything I
eat or brink, liyou think proper voo are at liberty to
muke this public and refer to me. 1 will cheerfully give
all desired infonuatifu to aay one who may ciU on me.
