Patent Dyspepsia Cures Exposed as Nonsense
Yet thousands will swallow the lie and then swallow the stuff, which is called the “only dyspepsia cure,” and advertises to cure “headache, nervousness, bowel troubles,” or “anything arising from indigestion.” More than this, the day you begin using this “cure,” “you can eat anything you like and all you like,” and the “cure” gives immediate and permanent relief, etc., etc., ad nauseam. To the one who knows anything at all of the general causes of dyspepsia, these claims are nonsense. It will doubtless stimulate and stupefy the stomach for a while, but the chances are that, in nine cases out of ten it will leave the system worse than before. There is one permanent cure in many cases: remove the cause or causes, and nature will do the rest.
