can be named in the single word dys
pepsia. It is the one disease, which more
than anvother.affects ipt.
the American people. I r - vjjja
It is common to aliP '
classes ana an conui
tions. It makes life
miserable. It mars
family happiness. It
interferes with busi
ness and pleasure
alike, and it discounts
a man's usefulness
just as much as it
discounts his happi
ness. There's a remedy
for dyspepsia. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery has
lifted this burden
from the bodies of
hundreds of thou
sands. It cures
ninety-eight out of
every hundred who
give it a fair and
faithful trial.
"I used ten bottles of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi
cal Discovery and several
viaU of his 'Pleasant
Pellets' a year ago this
spring, and have had no
trouble with indigestion
since," writes Mr. W. T.
Thompson, of Town
send. Broadwater Co-
Montana. "Words fail to tell how thankful I
am for the relief, as I had suffered so much and
it seemed that the doctors could do me no good.
I got down in weight to 115 pounds, and was not
able to work at all. Now I weigh nearly 160
and can do a day's work on the farm. I have
recommended your medicine to several, and
shall always have a good word to say for Dr.
Pierce and his medicines."
Free. Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser
is sent free on receipt of stamps to
pay expense of mailing only. It con
tains 1008 pages and over 700 illustra
tions. Send 21 one-cent stamps for the
