THAT COMMON TROU6tE, ACID
DYSPEPSIA OR SOUR
STOMACH.
Now Recognized IS Q Cause Of Serious
Disease.

UuoS1DSs
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, Is a form
OF indigestion resulting from fermen-
tation of the food The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest it, the food
remains until fermentation begins. fiii-
ing the stomach with gas. and bitter,
sour. burning taste In the mouth Is Of
ten present. This condition soon be-
comes chronic and being an every day
occurrence Is given but little attention.
Because dyspepsia Is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
1t Is now well known among able
physicians that the whole constitution
il gradually undermined and weakened.
that the nerves and vital organs are
seriously affected by any form OF dys-
pepsia. This Is plain. as every organ,
every nerve in the body is nourished by
the blood and the blood Is replenished
from the food digested. II the food is
properly digested the blood Is pure. the
nerves steady. but IL supplied from u
sour. fsrmenting. decaying mass, the
blood Is vitiated, poisoned and the re-
suit Is shown in sleeplessness, lack of
energy, poor appetite. nervousness.
Every tritie Is magnified and the dys-
peptic sees nothing but the dark side
of everything.
Within q recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and it Is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as q radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
1t Is not claimed to cure anything
except dyspepsia and stomach weak
ness in its various forms. but for this
1t has been shown to be unequallsd. The
eminent specialists, Reed and OLeary.
have recently stated that they consid-
er Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets an un-
failing specific for disorders of the d.
gestive organs. and the remarkable
cures made In cases of long standing
dyspepsia proves that this remedy has
extraordinary merit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at so cents
per package. 1t Is prepared by the
Stuart Chemical Co, Marshall Mich.
and while It promptly and effectually
restores vigorous digestion. at the
same time is perfectly harmless and
will not injure the most delicate stom-
ach, but on the contrary by giving
perfect digestion strengthens the stom-
ach, improves the appetite and makes
life worth living,
