necessary to eat every two or three hours in order to quiet the
gnawing and empty feeling in the stomach. The chronic dyspeptic suffers
greatly from nervousness and depression of spirits; indeed, it seems
almost impossible to maintain the usual cheerfulness.
=Thought to be the Heart.=--Many persons go to their family physician
thinking they have a serious form of heart disease, when the whole
trouble is with the stomach, the violent beating of the heart being
simply a nervous manifestation caused by the irritable condition of the
stomach.
=Two Diseases Closely Associated.=--Chronic dyspepsia is almost invariably
associated with the diseases of women. Indeed, the two seem almost
inseparable, for whenever you find a woman complaining of soreness
across the lower part of the bowels, irregular menstruation, ovarian
irritation, inflammation of the bladder, leucorrhoea, etc., you will
find a confirmed dyspeptic. The blood is thin and watery, the bowels are
constipated, and the whole nervous system seems to be upset.
=Which Disease Is the Cause?=--The question comes whether the disease in
the pelvis causes the difficulty with the stomach, or whether the
stomach produces the inflammation in the uterus and surrounding parts.
Probably one is true at one time and another at another time. The fact
is that both conditions need correcting, and there is one remedy which
answers perfectly in each case.
=Both Must Be Cured.=--The digestion certainly cannot be perfect while
there is this inflammation in the pelvic organs; while the latter can
hardly maintain a healthy condition if the stomach fails to do its work.
=Both May Be Cured.=--By paying attention to a few rules of diet, and by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for a short time, I believe
every case will promptly yield to treatment.
=Cures Dyspepsia of Men.=--Indeed, strange as it may seem, a great many
men who have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound because they have seen
its good action on the stomach in cases of other members of the family
have written reporting good results. It certainly has a most soothing
and strengthening power on this organ, while its gently stimulating
effect on the whole alimentary canal brings about the most desirable
changes.
=Regular Action of the Bowels.=--I would recommend that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Liver Pills be taken each night in just sufficient doses to cause a
regular action of the bowels each day. Then if Lydia E. Pinkh
