1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can Be Cured Unless the
Stomach Is First Made
Strong and Vigorous,

This is plain because every organ in the
body depeadS on the stomach for its nour-
ishmcnt. Nerve, bone, sinew. blood, are
made from the food which the stomach
converts to our use.
How useless TO treat disease with this,
that and the other remedy, and neglect
the most important of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indigestion
are sour risingS, bad taste In the mouth,
gone feeling, faintness, headaches, consti-
patton; later comes loss of flesh, consump-
tion, liver and heart troubles, kidney dis
eases, nervous prostration, all of which
are the indirect result OF poor nutrition
Amy person suffering from indigestion
should make it practice to take after
each meal one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, allowing il TO dissolve in the mouth
and thus mingle with the saliva and enter
the stomach in the most natural way.
These Tablets are highly recommended by
DR.. Jennlson beCaus they are composed of
the natural digestive acids and fruit es-
senccs which assist the stomach In digest
ing all wholesome food before il has time to
fermCnt and sour.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets~are sold by
druggists, full sized packages at 90 cents
They are also excellent for invalids and
children. A book on stomach diseases ana
