Five months ago I commenced Iking your "FRUIT SALT" daily, and have not had one headache during that time'; Mere as formerly everything but the plainest food disagreed with me. I am now almost ^different as to diet. I cannot thank you sufficiently for conferring on me such a benefit. am, Sir, yours gratefully, TRUTH." " Dear Sir,— As an illustration of the beneficial effects of your " FRUIT SALT," have no hesitation in giving the particulars of the case of one of my friends. Siuggish ction of the Liver and Bilious Headache affected him, so he was obliged to live upon only few articles of diet, and to be most sparing in their use. This did nothing in effecting a are, although persevered in for tw nty-five years, and also consulting eminent members of faculty. " By the use of your FRUIT SALT," he now enjoys vigorous health ; he is never had a Headache or Constipation since he commenced to use it, about six months »o, and can partake of his food to the great satisfaction of himself and friends.
