THE GREAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley, the Great English Scien,
fist, Considered the Best
Start in Life.

The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lac-
tive and hydochloric) and peptogenic
products; the most sensible remedy in
all cases of indigestion, is to take after
each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets because they supply in a
pleasant, harmless form all the ele-
ments that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets viii cure every form OF
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh. insure pure
blood, strong nerves. a bright eye and
clear complexion. because all these re.
suit only from wholesome food well di-
gested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 50 cents full sized
package.
