TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Wen, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make Test of stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapoli
Gentleman.

AnpefestIHk experience OF an IN ulanaPOll
Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat OF
the mischief is lost sight of the stom-
sch is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stOm-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness. Ner-
Yous dyspepsia shows itself not In the
stomach SO much as in nearly every
other organ; IN some cases the heart
palritates and is irregular; in others
the kidneys are affected; in others the
bowels are cOnstlpated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accum-
ulation Of gas, sour rislngs and heart
burn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Pros
pect St., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as
follows: "a motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines
regarding the new and valuable medi-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. l
have been sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years have
used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable
result, They sometimes gave tempo
rary relief until the effects of che med
icine wore off. | attributed this to
my sedentary habits, being book
keeper with little physical exercise,
but | am glad to state that the tablets
have overcome all these obstacles, for
| have gained in flesh, sleep better,
and am better in every way. The
above is written not for notoriety, but
Is based on actual fact,
Respectfully yours,

1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach
weakness or disease except cancer of
stomach. They cure sour stomach,
gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleep
lessness, palpitation, heartburn, CON
stipatiOn and headache.
