doffs his ilcrbv and congratulates them
accordingly.

Beyond question ono of tho most brutal

Dyspepsia
Makes tho lives of many peoplo mlserablo,
and often leads to Belt-destruction. Distress
after eating, sour stomach, sick hcadacho,
heartburn, loss of appetlto, a faint, " all gono "
feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and lrregu-
niotrnQc larIty 01 ih0 bowels, are
LMStrOSS gome ot tho moro common
AftQr symptoms. Dyspepsia docs
Kti not get well of itself. It
Celling requires careful, persistent
attention, and a remedy llko Hood's Sarsa
parllla, which acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently. It tones tbo stomach and other
organs, regulates tho digestion, creates a
good appetlto, and by thus Sick
overcoming tho local symp- u ' .
toms removes tho sympa-"0303C"0
tlietlc effects of tho disease, banishes tho
headache, and refreshes tho tired mind.
"I havo been troubled with dyspepsia. I
had but llttlo appetite, and what I did cat
, distressed' mo, or did mo
r"3drl llttlo good. In an hour
QUrn after eating I would expe
rience a falntness, or tired, all-gone feeling,
as though I had not eaten anything. My trou
blo, I think, was aggravated by my business,
which Is that of a painter, and from being
moro or less shut up In a Sour
room with fresh paint. Last . .
spring I took Hood's Sarsa- StOmaCIt
rlUa took three bottles. It did me an
Immense amount of good. It gave me an
appetite, and my food relished and satisfied
tho craving I had previously experienced."
