GET FLESH.

Get Strength, Vigor, Clear Com
plexion and Good Digestion, Not
by Patent Medicine, But in Ma
tuTe's Own Way.
Amy honest physician will tell you that
there is hut one way to get increased flesh;
| all the patent medicines and cod liver oils
to the contrary notwithstanding.
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 what
ever.
People are thin. run down. nervous, pale
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their jmachs are weak.
Thf may not think they have dyspepsia,
| but ie fact remains that they do not eat
emo n food or what they eat is notguiCkly
and properly digested as it should be.
DR.. Harltndson says the reason is be
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids ana peptones, and deficient secretion
Of gastric Juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to supply
! what the weak ston1ach7lack There are
several good p, eparations which will do this,
but none so readily as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which are designed especially for
all stomach troubles. and which cure all Ill
gestive weakness on the common sense plan
OF furnishing the digestive principles which
the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion First effects toincrease the dp-
petite and increased yfgor, added flesh, pure
blood, and strength of nerve and muscle is
the perfectly natural result.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
