PECULIAR P0ISONS
Generated In the Human Body-The Re-
suit of Imperfect Digestion OF Food.

Every living thing. plant or animal,
contains within Itself the germs OF GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs OF
disease and death Called by scientists
Ptomaines) are usually the results OF
imperfect digestion OF food; the result
OF Indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach. from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly d.
gest the food. The result Is heavy,
sOdden mass which ferments (the first
process OF decay. poisoning the blood,
making II thin. weak and lacking In
red corpuscles. poisoning the brain,
causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritAtes the heart.
causing halpItation and finally bringing
on disease Of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poIsons the kidneys,
causing BrIght's disease and diabetes.
And this is 20 because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourIshment and renewal, and
wenR digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist. Huxley,
said the best start In life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fall to digest
food properly. because they lack the
proper quantity OF digestive acids Oac-
tic and hydrochloric) and peptoRenle
products; the most sensible remedy in
nll cases OF indigestion is TO take, after
each meal. one or two OF Stuart's Dys-
pepsin Tablets, because they supply In
n pleasant. harmless form all the ele-
ments that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form OF stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
complexion. because all these result
only from wholesome food well dIgcsted.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsIa Tablets ut 10 cents full sized
package. or by mai by enclosing price
to Stuart Co.. Marshall, Mich. but ask
your druggist first.
