A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

for Curing Dyspepsta.
The Rev. r. l.. Bell. highly esteemed
minister residing at Weedsport, Cayuga
county, N. Y, In a recent letter writes as
follows: There has never been anything
that | have taken that has relieved the
dyspepsia from which / have suffered for
ten years except the new remedy called
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking
ttem | have had no distress at all after
eating and again after long years can sleep
well ."--Rev +. l. Bell. Weedspcrt. N. Y.
formerly Idalia, Colo.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is remark
able remedy. not only because It is GER
tain one for all forms OF Indigestion. but
because II seems to act as thoroughly in
cid chronic cases of Dyspepsia as well as
in mild attacks OF indigestion or bilious
ness person has dyspepsia simply be-
cause the stomach Is overworked. all It
wants IL a harmless, vegetable remedy to
digest the food and thus give 1t the much
needed rest.
This is the secret OF the success Of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion inay
be. stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
the food whether the stomach works or not.
New life and energy Is given not only to
the stomach, but to every organ md nerve
In the body trial Of this spleniid medi-
cine will convince the nest skeptical that
Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be
cured The tablets are prepared by the
Stuart Chemical Co., OF Marshall. Mich.
but 30 popular has the remedy become
that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can row
be obtained at any drug store at 50 cents
per package. Send for book on stomach
