no CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA,
To Gain Flesh, to sleep Well, to
Know WhaI Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean. Make u Test Of
slnmrI's Dyspcpsim TnbIets.
Interesting Experience of an In-
diannpolis Gentleman.

No trouble In more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having It think that their nerves
are 10 blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and spring
remedies; the roal seat Of the mischief is
lost sight Of; the stomach Ii the organ to
be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain Whatever In the stomach, nor per-
haps any Of the usual symptoms OF stoin-
ach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows
Itself not In the stomach 30 much as In
nearly every other organ. Ia some cases
the heart palpitates and is irregular; In
others the kidneys arc affected, In others
the bowels are conatipated, with headaches:
Sill others are troubled with loss Of flesh
and appetite, with accumulation OF gas,
Hour risings and heartburn.
Mr.. a. W. Sharper OF No. 81 Prospect
street. Indianapolis. Ind. writes as fol-
lows: "a motive Of pure gratitude prompts
mo to write these few lines regarding tho
new and valuable medicine. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. have beer a sufferer from
nervous dyspepsia for the last four years;
have used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable re-
suit They sometimes gave temporary re-
lief until the effects OF the medicine wore
of. I attributed this 10 my sedentary hab-
Its. being a bookkeeper with little physical
exercise. but am glad to state that tho
tablets have overcome all these obstacles.
for ! have gained IN flesh. sleep better.
and am better In every way. The above Il
written not for notoriety, but is based on
actual fact"
Respectfully yours.

II IL safe to say that Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or
dsease except cancer OF stomach. They
cure sour stomach. gas. loss Of flesh ana
appetite, sieeplessness, palpftatiop. heart
burn. constipation and headache.
