Is Is A TRIFLEp
That Common Trouble. SOur Stomach,
Now known 10 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 most
| serious diseases have their beginning
| from this very condition It is caused
| in the first place by weakness Of the
! stomach, which, instead of promptly
digeSting and diSposing of the food, al
j lows it to lie in the stomach for hours
fermenting, causing gas, sour rising in
| the mouth, heartburn, headaches, op-
preston. dependency, dizziness, etc.
The blood is thin, impure and circu-
latiOn poor simply because it is replen-
! ished from this mass of fermenting,
| half-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
Giles firm healthy flesh can only come
from wholesome food well digested.
Blood purifiers and NERVE tonics''
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, ana these
tablets taken after meals assist diges-
tion 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

The stomach is the most important
and the most abused organ in the body.
If 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.. AnlSden says that thousands of
people in this condition never think of
aScribing the trouble to the ston.ac
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

stimulants; they make you feel good
for 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

not many who have been afflicted for

scribed for me seemed of no avail. 1 re-

your advertisement in the Press and

GAIAR Ha OF TIE SIOMACd
A Pleasant. Simple, But Safe and
EnecGuaa Cure Fer 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full of bIOat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or Watery risingS,
a formation Of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing: headac hes, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played-out,
languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show Shiny, inf1amed condition.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
eecure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DIR. Harlandson the SAT
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
taste, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, Gold
en- Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores I'M
der the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tia b.
let's and, not being a patent medicine,
can be used with perfect safety and as
surance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their reg
ular use after meals.
Mr.. N. J. BOoher of 2710 Dearborn St,
Chicago, Ill, writes: "Catarrh is a 10
cal condition resulting from a neglected
cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose becomes inf1anaed
and the poisonous discharge therefrom
passing backward into the throat, reach
es the stomach, thus producing catarrh
of the stomach. Medical authorities
prescribed for me fer three years for
catarrh of stomach without cure. but to-
day I am the happiest of men after US
fng only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. I cannot find appropriate
words to express my good feeling. I
have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
safest prepa ration as well as the simp-
lest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.

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 am In df am
apOIis 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 pafpitates 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-
ttte, with accommodations of gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. W. Sharper of 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines re-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets I
have been a sufferer from nervous dys-
pepsia for the last, four years; have
used various patent medicines and

suit. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects of the medicine

a PECULIAR FACT.
Thousands of People Have Dyspepsia
In Hts Worst Form and Do
Not Know NJ.

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-
gestfon causes heart trouble, kidney
troubles, lung weakness and especially
nervous breakdown or nervous pros
tration; 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.
Mrs. H. NJ. Lee of Rochester, N. Y,

HEART DISEASE.
Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Troubles.
DO Not BE Alarmed But Look For the
Cause. -

Cause
Heart troubles, at least among Amer1-
cans, are certainly increasing, and Wh1Ie
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life it
is more often the result of weak stom-
achs of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is 1ncura-
BILE but not one case in hundred OF
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way also the heart is affect
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food, there is a feeling of OPP
preston and heaviness in the chest
caused by the pressure of the distended
fering with their action; hence arises
palpftation and short breath.
Poor digestion also pOiSonS the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use,
after meals, of some safe, pleasant, and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores, and which
contain valuable, harmless, digestive ele-
mentS, in pleasant, convenient form.

sistent use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets

THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and 1ndfses.

and Useless One.


We say the OLD way, but really 1t is
a. very common one at present time and
many GySpepticS 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-
quantity usually taken; in other words,
the starvation plan is by many sup
posed to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure for Dyspepsia has been
proved time and again, but still the
moment Dyspepsia makes its appear
ance course of dieting is at once ad-
vised.
All this is radically wrong. It is fool
ish and unscientif1c to recommend diet
ing or starvation to man suffering
from Dyspepsia, because Indigestion it,
self STARVES every organ and every
nerve and every fiber in the body
What the Dyspeptic wants is ABUND-
