I had barely finished the contants of one small bottle when I was able to pronounce myself cured. For a time I was careful to avoid eating anything I thought indigestible, and now, after a lapse of three years, I ain scarcely aware that I am possessed of such a thing as a stomachexcept, perhaps, just bofore ineale, A teaspoonful of pure glyceriuo should be mixed in half a wiuegiassful of wator and sipped, either with or immediately aftor meals. Indigestion arises of courso, ftom various causes, but the above simple remedy wi11,.1 believo, bring reliof in most cases if persevered with. I trust many othors whom it may concern many experience the same benefit as I have done, if they think the above worthy of a trial. ~ Thamea Evening Star,
