GET FLESH.
Get strength. vIsor, oiear Complexion and Good Digestion. Not By Patent Medicine But Ry
 Mattress Own Way.

Any honest physician will tell you that there is but one way to get increased flesh; all the patent medicines and cod liver oils 10 the contrary notwithstanding.
 Nature has but one Way to in- crease flesh, strength and vigor of mind and body, and that is through the stomach by wholesome food well digested There is no reason or common sense in any other method whatever.
 People are thin, run down, ner- vous, pale and shakY in their nerves, simply because their stomaches are weak.
 They may not think they nave dyspepsia. but the fact remains that they do not eat enough food or what they do eat is not quick.y and properly digested as it should be.
 pr. Harlandson says the reason is because the stomach lacks certain digestive acids and pep tones. and deficient secretion of gastric juice.
 Nalurne's remedy in such cases, is to supply what the weak stomach lacks. There are several good mcp- arations which will do this, but none so readily as Stuart's 0ys- pepsia Tablets, which are designed especially for all stomach troubles, and which cure all digestive weak ness on the common sense plan oi furnishing the digestive principles which the stomach iacks, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect digestion. Ffst effect is to increase the oppetifle and iaefeased yigor. added flesh, pure blood. and strength of nerve aud muscle is tht perfectly natural result
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest tonic known and will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. May DC found at druggists at 30 cents foi full sized packages or direct by mai from stuart Co. Marshall, Mich Little book on stomach diseases mailed free.
