vho had suffered, to my knowledge,
for years with dyspepsia. Hvorytlilner
he ate scorned to sour and create
gases In the stomach. He had pains
like tlteitmatlstn In the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and dis

"I gave li 1 111 piiwetftll nerve tonics

"There wim no more ucltllly or sour,
wateiy tlslngs, no bloating after
meals, the appetite was vigorous and
he hud gained between III tind 12
pounds In weight of uolld. healthy
llesh.
"Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

valuable addition to any physicians

Gentlemen :
When my physician first told mc that I had Bright's
disease, a cold chill went ovei me and I felt at if 1 were a doomed man.
For three months I tool: his ptescription and kept getting worse, when
my druKjjist, who w.tj a personal friend, told mc that in his opinion
Warner's Safe Cure was the best medicine on earth for Wright's disease.
1 took n bottle at once nnd gradually felt relieved. I kept
taking it patiently and regularly for two months and word's can
not describe my feelings when 1 found that I was cured.
1 felt like a new man. Hright's disease is n thing of the past
and I would like, to say to everyone similarly alllictceJ, try Warner's
Safe Cure.
