Distress after eating, sour stomach, sick headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, " all gone feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregu larity of the bowels, are DlStrGSS some of the more common After symptoms. Dyspepsia does . . not get well of itself. It Eating requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Hood's Sarsa parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and efficiently. It tones the stomach and othei organs, regulates the digestion, creates a good appetite, and by thus Sick overcoming the local symp- . toms removes the sympa- HeaCiaCrlO thetic effects of the disease, banishes the headache, and refreshes the tired mind. " I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat m rf distressed me, or did me MearX" little good. In an hour burn after eating I would expe rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. My trou ble, I think, was aggravated by my business, which is that of a painter, and from being more or less shut up in a $OUr room with fresh paint. Last . spring I took Hood's Sarsa- atOuiaCn rilla took three bottles. It did me an immense amount of good. It gave me an appetite, and my food relished and satisfied the craving I had previously experienced." Geokge A, Tage, "Watertown, Mass. Hood's Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists, gl; six for g5.
