THEY RIDICULE 1T.
MANY PEOPLE RlDlCULE THE IDEA
OF AN, ABSOLUTE CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLES.
RidicuIe, Howe yer, Is Not an Argument, and
Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate TO cure that peo-
pie are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and Indigestion.
Many such pride themselves .on their
acuteness in never being humbugged, es-
peeially on medicines.
This fear of being, humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak dges-
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims of
preparation 50 reliable and universally
used as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret pat
ent medicine, no secret Is made of their
ingredients, but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments,
pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids,
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nuN.
They are not cathartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ but they cure
indigestion on the common sense plan OF
digesting the food eaten promptly. thor
oughly before 1t has time to ferment, sour
and cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there
is to it. Food not digested or half digest
ed is poison, as it creates gas, acidlty,
headaches palpitation of the heart, loss of
flesh and appetite, and many other trou-
bles which are often called by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at so cents per package. Address Stuart
Co for book on stomach diseases or ask
your druggist for it.
