Many American families on their return from abroad bring my articles with them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these.

I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence, I do not think it will bo misplaced, I make the best form of cure—an absolute one—-for biliousness and headache that can be found in this year. The cure is so small in it self, and yet its comfort to you is so great—twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes —that it has become a marvel of its time.
