A Startling Statement New York Medical Authori ties Claim Dyspepsia to be a Pre-Disposing Cause of Consumption The post mortem statistics of the big Now York hospitals show that some cases of consumption arc due, at least indirectly, to unchecked dyspepsia, especially when the vic tim was predisposed to tuberculosis. Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain. The weakened, irritable Stomach being unable to digest food, the body does not receive tho required nourishment, and tho vic tim becomes thin, weak and hag gard. As a result, the body be comes ;i fertile field in which the germs of disease may lodge and flourish. Therefore, the person who per mits dyspepsia to progress un hindered is guilty of contributing toward' the development of one of ! (he most insidious and fatal dis eases known (o mankind. Dyspepsia may be completely eradicated if properly (rented. We sell a remedy that we positively ; guarantee will completely relieve j indigestion or dyspepsia, or the medicine used during the trial will cost the user nothing.
