NO FAITH CURE.
ABOUT sTuARTs DYSPEPSIA TABLETS.
0F BRAKES.

They Cure stomach Troubles and Indi xestt on
Anyway. whether You Have Faith In Them
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 physi-
clan or the same confidence and faith in pat
ent medicine have produced remarkable cures
IN ali ages.
This is especially true in nervous troubles and
no field offers SO prolific harvest for the Quack
and charatan the diseases arising from
weak or rundown nervous system.
Nevertheless the most common OF all diseases
Indigestion and stomach troubles. which In turn
cause nervous diseases. heart troubles, consump
ton and loss Of flesh. requires something be-
sides faith to cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food for you
will not give you 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 ele-
uents Of digestion: they contain the juices.
acids and peptones necessary 70 the digestion
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest food II
placed In a Jar or bottle in water heated to 80
degrees, and they will DO II much more effec-
lively when taken into the stomach after meals.
whether you have faith that they will or not
They invigorate the stomach make pure blood
and strong nerves. In the only way that nature
can do ii, and that Is, from plenty Of wholesome
food we'll dlsested It is not what we eat but
what we digest, that does US good

gists at so cents for full-sized package.
