THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges-
tiOn by Dieting a Barbarous
and Useless One,

We say the old way, but really it is a
very common one at present time, and many
dyspeptics and physicians as well consider
the first step to take in attempting to cure
indigestion is TO diet, either by selecting
certain foods and rejecting others, or to
greatly dimish the qauntity usually taken,
in other words the starvation plan is by
many supposed to be the first essential
The almost certain failure of the starya.
tion cure for dyspepsia has been proven time
and again, but still, the moment Dyspepsia
makes its appearance a course of dieting Is
at once advised.
All this is radically wrong 1t is foolish
and unscientific to recommend dieting or
starvation TO Il man suffering from Dyspep
sia, because Indigestion itself starves every
organ and every nerve and every fibre in
the body.
What the Dyspepdc wants is abundant
nutrition. which means plenty of good,
wholesome, we'll cooked food, and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to digest
it. This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and this is the method by which they cure
the worst cases of Dyspepsia; in other
words, the patient eats plenty of whole.
Some food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
digest it for him. In this way the svstem
is nourished and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digest tho
food whether the stomach works or nnt
One of these tablets will digest 5000 grains
of meat or eggs.

remedy sold for stomach troubles, and every

The part, assisted by his sensitive appre-
ciation OF the right denotements, is full
OF the simplicity and human sympathy

But there is a reaction when Mr.. DAILY

one OF a party of story-tellcrs he finds
that at intervals story is told to his ex-
clnsion and that makes him all the more
anxious to hear it,
When the cigars are handed around he
is skipped because IL is supposed that
such an utter angel as Chambers would
never inhale the fumes of tobacco. At
dinners he finds that the hostess oniits to
place wine glass at his place, and
at social companies either the harmless old
ladies or the insipid young ones are
parcelled for his diversion.
As a matter of fact, Mr.. DAILY is more
than youngster in years and quite
man in kno wledge OF the world. Yet he
has the hardest kind OF a time in shaking
off the impression OF his personation of

of the fine and thorough impression which
he makes but it is decidedly uncomfortable

hands bis card and people refuse to ac-
cept the manly DAILY as the flesh and blood

their belief that he was the victim OF d
deliberate plot ON the part of the Ma

to rob him of the decision. But there were
others, among whom were men of unin.-
peachable reputation, who declared they

strictly just.
When the National Club made the first
move in what promises to be a long-drawn-
out struggle i'll the courts for possession of
the $4,000 purse, by stopping the pay
ment of the check, IL was done to give
Martin Julian aii opportunity to prove his
sensational charges of fraud. The man

action.
