The newspapers and medical journ&ls have had much to say relative to a famous millionaire’s offer of a million dollars for a new stomach. This great multi-millionaire was too busy to worry about the condition of his stomach. He allowed his dyspep sia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became incurable. His misfortune should serve as a warning to others. Every one who suffers with dyspepsia for afew years will give everything he owns for a new stomach. Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal state of the gastric juices. There Is one element missing—Pepsin. The absence of this destroys the function of the gastric fluids. They lose their power to digest food. We are now able to supply the
