A Hundred Reasons

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual cure
for every form of indigestion.
They are in tablet form, which retains
their good qualities indefinitely, while
liquid prepare lions become stale and use
less with age.
They are convenient, can be carried in the
pocket and taken when needed. They are
pleasant to the taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two OF
them in the mouth and, minglng with the
food, they constitute perfect digestive
absolutely safe for the most sensitive
stomach.
They digest the food before 1t has time
to ferment, thus preventing the formation
of gas and keeping the blood pure and free
from the poisonous products of fermented,
half digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Ike the COM
plexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure of
stomach troubles and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy, the successful
physician of today is the specialist, the sue
cessful medicine is the medicine prepared
especially for one disease.
A whole package taken at one time would
not hurt you hut would simply be a waste
of good material.
over six thousand men and women in the
State of Michigan alone have been cured of
indigestion and dyspepsia by the use Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
Sold by all druggists at 30 cents per
package

adjourns without passing some compr,-
hensive measure TO compose the finances

to blame for lis failure, in standing off
and refusing to come to the assistance of
the Committee on Banking and Currency
while the committee is begging them to come
to its relief with their COunsels and SUP

The committee will give most diligent
heed to any suggestion they may make

that have failed in every cha ngc for
twenty years, and, If passed, the bankers
themselves say, would not relieve the
