THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID
DYSPEPSIA OR SOUR STOMACH.


Acid dyspepsia commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach. is a form OF indi-
gestion resulting from fermentation Of
the food. The stomach being too weak
to promptly digest it, the food remains
until fermentation begins, filling the
stomach with gas, and a bitter, sour,
burning taste in the mouth Is often
present. This condition soon becomes
chronic, and being an everyday oc-
currence, is given but little attention. Be
cause dyspepsia Is not Immediately fatal.
many people do nothing for the trouble.
Within a recent period remedy has
been discovered prepared solely TO cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and Is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure for every
form Of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public, and are sold by
druggists everywhere at SO cents per
