Tryon, P.E.I., writes :-"For more than a year I suffered with all the terrible pains of indigestion, and my life one of the greatest misery. It did not seem to make any difference whether 1 ate or not, the pains were always there, accompanied by a severe bloating and belching of wind. I did not even get relief at night, and sometimeshardly got a bit of sleep. In my -misery I tried many remedies said to cure indigestion, but they did me not one particle of good, and I fully expected I. would always be afflicted in this way. At this time my brother came home on a visit and urged me to try Milburn's Laza-Liver Pills, arid got me a few vials. By the time I had taken one vial I began to improve, and could eat with some relish. I was greatly cheered, and con- tinued taking the pills until all traces of the trouble bad disappeared, and I could once more eat all kinds of food without the slightest inconvenience. I am so fully convinced of their virtue as a family medicine, I have no hesitation in recom- mending them." ff., Price, 25 cents per vial or 5 vials for $1.00 at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T.
