Read what Senator Hoar says about

DANIEL WEBSTER Groping for Synonyms:

"He had a singular habit, which made it wearisome to listen to his ordinary speech, of groping after the most suitable word, and trying one SYNONYM after another till he got that which suited him best. Why is it, Mr. Chairman, that there has gathered, congregated, come together here, this great number of inhabitants, dwellers, that these roads, avenues, routes of travel, highways, converge, meet, come together here? Is it not because we have here a sufficient, ample, safe, secure, convenient, commodious, port, harbor, haven?' Of course, when the speech came to be printed all the SYNONYMS but the best one would be left out.

DYSPEPSIA

Horsford's Acid Phopshate

It relieves nervous and sick headache; the sense of fullness, distress and pain in the stomach after meals; prevents acidity of the stomach and offensive belching of wind.

It makes the process of digestion natural and easy, and creates a good appetite.

Taken before retiring, quiets the nerves, and induces refreshing sleep.
