To CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know

Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience OF an Indian

Interesting Experience of an Indian
apolis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring RENE
dies; 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 weak
hess. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not
in the stomach so much as in nearly every
other organ; in some cases the heart palpi-
tates and is irregular; in others the kidneys
are affected. in others the bowels are con-
stipated, with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and Appetite
with accumulation of gas, sour risings and
heartburn.
Mr.. A. W Sharper, OF No 61 Prospect
ST., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"A motive Of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the new
and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. i have been a sufferer from
nervous dyspepsia for the last four years;

other remedies witboUtany favorable result
They sometimes gave temporary relief until
the effects of the medicine wore off

ing bookkeeper with little physical exer-
