DR. MEAD’S ANT1-DYSPECTIC, or STO
MACH PILLS,
rglHEonly medicine.ever yet offered to the
JL public, from which a radical and perma
nent cure can be obtained of all those chronic
states of derangement of the digestive organs,
constituting that complicated disease, termed
Dyspepsia.
The duty which the proprietor owes to soci
ety, has induced him to adopt this mode of cir
culation, in order to give it a greater range of
publicity, that it may thereby become more ex
tensively useful than it could possibly be, were
it within thn nrivntt* nmetir.f* of OI1V
individual whatever. The diseases consequent
on a morbid state of the stomach and bowels,
are numerous, complicated, and, for the most
part, very difficult of cure.
The proprietor of these Pills is happy in hav
ing it in his power to oiler to all those who are
afflicted with the above complaint, a medicine
in which the most unlimited confidence may be
placed, and, for simplicity of composition, may
be given to children and patients of the most
delicate habit. In every cijuonic case of stomach
complaint, where the disease does not depend
on a schirrus, or cancerous state of that organ,
(iu which case no medicine whatever can do
any good,) these pills will effect a certain and
speedy cure, after the stomach of the patient has
been cloyed with magnesia and chalk, and
drenched with all the bitter potions that art
could invent, to no purpose. They will most
effectually remove all sourness of the stomach,
not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by cor
recting that morbid state of the secretions which
gives rise to it;.and at the same time that they
are giving tone* to the organs of digestion, they
will renovate and give new fife and vigor to the
whole system. Geo. Smith, Proprietor.
