NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.


 This may read as though we were putting ltn little strong because It Is generally thought by the majority oT people that Dyspepsia in It's chronic form is incnrable, pr practie- ally 80. But we hase long since shown that dyspepsia Is eurabIe. nor is it such n difficult matter as it first appears.
 The trouble with agspepties is that they are continually dieting, starving themselves, or going 10 op- posite extremes or else delugin2 the already oyerbnrdened stomach with "bittera, after dinner pills. etc, which invariably increase hediflicnl- ". even if in some cases they do give a slight temporary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stomach wants is rest. Now how can tho stomach become rested, re- cuperated and at the saL. time the body nourished and sustained?
 This is the great secret and this is also the secret of the uniform success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is comparatively new remedy. but its success and popularity leaves no donbt as to It's merits.
 The tablets will digest tbe food anyway, regardless Of eonditItion of stomach.
 The sufferer from dyspepsia accord l ing 10 directions is 10 eat an abund- ance of good, wholesome food and uso the tablets before and after each meal and the result will be that the food will be digested no matter how bad your dyspepsia may he, be cause, the tablets will digest the food even Ii tue stomach Is wholly inactive. To illustrate our meaning plainly. ii you take 800 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place U In temperature of 9S Ge- grees, nod put up with it one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1t will digest the meat or eggs almost ns perfectly as if the meat was enclosed within the stomach.
 The stomach may be ever so weak yet these tablets wIll perform the work of digestion and the body and brain win be properly nourlshed and at the same time n radical, lasting cure of dyspepsia will be made he- cause the much absued stomach wiIl be given, to some extent, q much needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that of the many remedies ad- gertised 10 cure dyspepsia none Of them has given so complete and gen erai satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspep. sia Tablets and not least iu imDors tance In these hard times Is che fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the lcast muney.
