GET FLESH.
Get Strength. ViGor, Clear Complex
ion, and Good Digestion, Not by
Patent Medicine, hut In Natures
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 TO the contrary, notwlthstand-
ing.
Nature has but one way TO Increase
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, nervous
male. and shaky in their nerves, simply
hecause their stomachs are weak
They may not think they have dyspep-
sla. but the fact remains that they do
NOT eat enough food, or what they eat
Is not Quickly and properly digested as
it should be.
Dr Uarlandson says the reason Is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain diges-
tive acids and peptones, and deficient
secretion of gastric juice.
Natures remedy IN such cases Is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which will do this. but none so readily
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which are
designed especially for all stomach trou-
HES. and which cure all digestive weak
ness on the common sense plan Of fur
nishing the digestive principles which
the stomach lacks.
STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
DIGESTION. First effect Is TO increase the
appetite. and increased vigor. added flesh.
pure blood, and strengthened nerve and
muscle Is the perfectly natural result.
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets Is the
safest tonic known and will cure any
form Of stomach trouble, except cancer
of the stomach. May be found OF drug
