THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an Also
lutte Cure for Dyspepsia and Stomach
Troubles
kidieule, However, is Not Argument, and
Facts are Stubborn Things.

stomach troubles are so common
ana IN many cases SO obstinate TO cure
JnaJ people are apt TO look with sus-
plclOn on any remedy claiming to be d
radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia
aud Indigestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness in never be-
ing humbugged, especially on medi
cines.
This fear of being humbugged may
be carried too far; so far, In Gact, that
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk little
time and money in faithfully testing
the claims of a preparation so reliable
and universally used as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
Clnes for the reason that they are not
secret patent medicine, no secret is
made OF their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
geStive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin,

not cathartiC, neither do they act pow
eriully on any organ, but they cure
indigestion on the common sense plan
of digesJing the food eaten thoroughly

cause the mischief This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach trOu-
bles because they act entirely upon the

really in the stomach.
