THINK TWICE
Before You Put Something Into Your
Stomach You Know Nothing
About.
THOUSANDS DO so every DAY.
Without Thought Of consequences.

The stomach is the most important
and the most abused organ in the body.
If a person catches little cold on the
lungs he Immediately seeks treatment
for it If his kidneys show symptoms
of weakness he becomes alarmed at
once. But if his OVerWOrked stomach
rebels he pays no attention to it until
SleepleSS nights, distress after eating,
nervousness and general weakness and
lack of energy show plainly that some
thing is wrong. He loses in weight and
has pains in the chest and limbs.
DR.. Ansden says that thousands of
people in this condition never think of
aScribing the trouble to the stomach
but they dose themselves with loudly
advertised nerve tonics,' spring med
icines," 'predigested food" etc, and
then wonder why they don't get well.
All of these things are sO-called Sc
are advertised to produce wonderful re-
suits, but they are very careful not to
tell you exactly what the wonderful
preparation really contains. AS mat
ter of fact nerve tOnics" are simply
stimulants; they make you feel good
for a day and the next day you must
repeat the dose.
The doctor says, further the only way
TO cure dyspepsia and stomach
weakness is to go to the fountain head
treat the stomach itself and put moth
ing into it unless you know what that
SOMETHING IS.
He further states he has had the
greatest success in curing all forms of
indigestion by the use of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which is not a secret

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of
an Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia.
RidfcuIe, However, Is Not ArEum enr,
and Facts are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common, and
in many cases SO obstinate to cure, that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestiOn. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being num-
plugged, especially on medicines
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk a little
time and money in faithfully testing
the claims of a preparation so reliable
and universally used as StuartS DyS-
pepSia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
SpeCt from ordinary proprietary medt-
CineS for the reason that they are not
a secret patent medicine-nO secret is
made of their ingredients-but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestive ferments, pure asceptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastic and nUx. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, but they cure in
digestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore it has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trOu-
bles, because they act entirely upon the
bowels. whereas, the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, taken
after meals, digest the food. That is
all there is to it. Food not digested or
half digested is poison, as it creates gas.
acidity, headaches. paIpitation of the
heart. loss of flesh and appetite, and
many other troubles which are often
called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at so cents per package. Ad-

A PECULIAR FACT.
thousands of People Have Dyspepsia
Em Hts Worst Form and Do
Not Know 1t.

A weak stomach is the cause of about
nine-tenths Of all disease, yet in most
cases the wrong thing is treated and
the true cause overlooked.
This is because a weak digestion pro-
duces symptoms resembling nearly
every disease because it weakens and
disturbs the action of nearly every
nerve and organ in the body; poor di-
geStiOn causes heart trouble, kidney
troubles, lung weakness and especially
nervous breakdown or nervous pros
tratton; the nerves cannot stand the
wear and tear unless generously fed by
well digested, wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one
need fear the approach of disease.

writes: For the sake of suffering hui

VALUABLE EVIDENCE
From Reliable People Who Have
Tested the New Dyspepsia Cure.
Most Remarkable and Success ful
Discovery in Medicine.

Mr.. A. T. Moran of the Real Estate
Exchange, Cleland block Detroit, Mich,
writes thus of his experience with the
new discovery for the cure of indiges-
ton and stomach troubles: You have
no doubt received many a recommend
from dyspepsia sufferers, but 1 think
not many who have been afflicted for
so long a period as in my case, some
nine or 10 years. I had given up all
hope of being entirely cured, for the
skill of many doctors who had pre-
scribed for me seemed of no avail. I re-
sorted to patent medicines of every
description and spent many a foolish
dollar and at last began to abandon
all hope of getting relief. I noticed
your advertisement in the Press and
concluded to give Stuart's Tablets
fair trial, which l did to my satisfac-
ton. Since the first box 1 have no
ticed a change in my condition for the
better and today can eat as hearty as
did when 1 was university student.

may use this letter to your best adVan-

IS IS A TRIFLE?
That Common TrOubIe.SOur Stomach,
Now known TO Be the Source OF
Serious Diseases


''Sour stomach is the common name
for acid dyspepsia, and because it is a
common everyday trouble with many
people they have come to look upon it
as of little consequence as affecting the
general health. Nevertheless, the GnOst
serious diseases have their beginning
from this very condition. 1t is caused
in the first place by weakness of the
stomach, which, instead of promptly
digesting and dispOsing of the food al
lows it to lie in the stomach for hours
fermenting, causing gas, sour rising in
the mouth, heartburn, headaches, OPP
preston, dependency dullness, etc
The blood is thin, impure and circu-
lattOn poor simply because it is replen-
ished from this mass of fermenting,
haIf-digeSted food. This condition of
the stomach cannot continue very long
without deranging the nervous sys-
tenn, the kidneys, heart, liver or lungs
Whichever is weakest will break down
first
Pure blood, strong nerves and mus
cles firm healthy flesh can only come
from wholesome food we'll digested.
Blood purifiers and nerve tonfcS"
do not reach the cause of the mischief.
The stomach is the point to be looked
after. The safest and surest way to
cure any form of indigestion is to take
after each meal some harmless prepar-
alton which will of itself digest food.
There is an excellent preparation of
this kind composed of vegetable essen
ces, pure pepsin, golden seal and fruit
salts, sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and these
ablets taken after meals assist digeS-
ton wonderfully because they will di-
gest the food promptly, before it has
time to ferment and sour, and the weak
stomach relieved and assisted in this
way soon becomes strong and vigorous
again.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sup
erior to any secret patent medicines
because you know what you are taking
into your stomach. They are sold by
druggists everywhere at so cents per
package.

In another way also the heart is affect

Poor digestion also pOiSOns the blood,

TEE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and IndiGes
ton by Dieting BarbarOus
and Useless One.

we say the OLD way, but really it is
a very common one a present time and
many dyspeptics and physicians as well
consider the first step to take in at
tempting to cure indigestion is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods and re
jecting others, or to greatly diminish the
quantity usually taken; in other words,
the starvation plan is by many sup
posed to be the first essential.
Il The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure for Dyspepsia has been
proved time and again, but still the
moment Dyspepsia makes it's appear
ance a course of dieting is at once ad-
vised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend diet
ing or starvation to a man suffering
from Dyspepsia, because Indigestion it
self STARNES every organ and every
nerve and every fiber in the body.
What the Dyspeptic wants Is ABUND-
ANT NUTRITION, which means
PLENTY of good, wholesome, we'll
cooked food and something to assist a
weak stomach to digest it. This is eX-
actly the. purpose for which Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted, and this
is the method by which they cure the

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean, Make a Test of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tables.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
apOlts Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves are
to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines and
spring remedies. The real seat of the
mischief is lost sight of; the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is ir-
regular; in others the kidneys are eff
fected; in others the bowels are consti-
pated. with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appe-
tite, with accommodations of gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
