The book-keeper's
occujiation renders
him specially liable to
stomach trouble. The
basty breakfast, the
"quick lunch," the
long hours spent iq
stooping over journal
and ledger, wilh lack
of exercise, all tend
to the derangement of
the stomach.
When the stomach is in a healthy con
dition the feeling after a meal is one of
satisfaction and comfort. Whenever
there is discomfort after eating it is
sign of stomach derangement or disease.
Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
jures diseases of the stomach and other
wgans of digestion and nutritionperfectly
and permanently. The cures effected by
ibis medicine are almost counties.
