NO FAITH CURE
ABOUT STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TAB
LETS.

They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indiges-
tion Anyway Whether You Have Faith
in Tlem or Not.
All physicians agree that the element of
faith has a great deal to do in the cure of
disease.
Firm belief and confidence in a family
physician or the same confidence and faith in
a patent medicine, have produced remark
able cures, in all ages.
This is especially true in nervous troubles
and no field offers so prolific harvest for
the quack and charlatan as the diseases
arising from week or run down nervous
system.
Nevertheless, the most common of all
diseases indigestion and stomach troubles,
which in turn cause nervous diseases, heart
troubles, consumption and loss of flesh, re-
quire something besides faith to cure
Mere faith will not digest your food for
you will not give you an appetite, will not
increase your flesh and strengthen your
nerves and heart, but Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will do these things, because they
are composed of the elementssof digestion,
they contain the juices, acids and assimila-
ton of all wholesome food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest food
if placed in jar or bottle in water heated to
9s degrees, and they will do it much more
effectively when taken into the stomach after
meals, whether you have faith that they
will or not.
They invigonte the stomach, make pure
blood and strong nerves, in the only way
hat nature can do it, and that is from plenty
of wholesome food well digested. 1t is not
what we eat, but what we digest that does
us good.
Stuapt's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
nearly all druggists at 80 cents for full sized
| package, or by mail from the Stuart Co.,
