after each meal one or two OF Stuart's Dys-
nensis Tablets because they supply in a
pleasant. HARMLESS form all the elements that
weak stomachs lack.
The regular use Of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form Of stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach.
They increase flesh. insure pure blood
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear com
