TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know

Mean, Make a Test Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experiments OF an Indian
apolis 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 mol cured by NERVE medicine and
spring remedies: the real seat of the
mischief is lost sight Of; the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever tn the stomach, nor
perhaps any Of the usual symptoms Of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach 50 much
as in nearly ever other organ; in some
cases the heart paipitates and Is trregu-
:ar: in Others the k1ndneys T affected;
in others the bowels are const1pated,
wEh headaches; still o hers are troubled
with loss Of flesh and appetite. with ac-
cumusation Of gas. Jul risings and
heartburn.
