TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA,
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mea,, Make n Test of
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an In
dianapolis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having 1t think that their nerves
are to blame, and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat Of
the mischief is lost sight Of; the stomach
is the organ to look 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 I'm nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar: in others the kidneys are affected;
i'm others the bowels are constpated,
with headaches; still others are troubled
with loss of flesh and appetite with ac-
cumulation of gas, sour risings, and
heartburn.
MIR. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
street. Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "a motive Of pure gratitude
prompts me TO write these few lines re-
garding the new and valuable medicine,
