DEBILITY.
Many people who talk to me uy: '*l
feel half sick ailthe time. I dont just
know what's the
■ matter with me.'*
This is grnera)
debility. It's very
common. People
who get in this
shape have my
sympathy. They
( arn't sick enough
for bed so they
drag around and
jtheir families
'get exasperated
with them.
B.KCDADS, There are two
causes for this
condition; bad habits and a weak
stomach. By bad habits I mean eating
irregularly and too fast and not chew*
ing the food thoronghly. The stom«
ach gives ont and loss of appetite,
billiousness, constipation, and general
debility result. First get the stomach
in shape and then be more careful in
the future, and the worn out, despond
ent, half sick feeling will be a thing
of the past.
Two bottles of Cooper's New Dis
covery will put the stomach in shape.
Common sense will do the rest. There
are fifty thousand people in this
country who know this to be true be
cause they've tried it.
Here's a letter from one of them:
"I was all run down from overwork,
lost ambition and energy and could
not sleep. It was difficult for me to
attend to my work owing to that tired
out feeling. ' I secured two bottles of
the New Discovery medicine and de
termined to try it. The result de
lighted me for renewed strength and
vigor and energy came with the first
few doses. It's effect was different
from anything I had ever taken. I
finished the two bottles now and feel
well and strong again. " E. McDade,
