TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, TO
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean, Make a Test
of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets,
Interesting Experience of an Indian
apOIis Gentleman.

apOIis 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 mis-
chief is lost sight OF: the stomach is the
organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor,
perhaps, any of the usual symptoms Of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach 80 much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases, the heart palpitates and is irregui lr:
in others, the kidneys are affected IN
others, the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss OF flesh and appetite, with accumula-
tion OF gas, sour risings and heartburn.
Mr. A w Sharper, OF No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude prompts
me to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. have been a sufferer from
nervous dyspepsia for the last four years.

other remedies without any favorable re-

habits, being Il bookkeeper, with little

that the tablets have overcome all these
obstacles, for have gained in flesh, sleep

based on actual fact.
