Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
pepsia and indigestion.
Dr. Jennison, who has made life study
of stomach troubles, says: All forms of
Indigestion really amount to the same
thing, that is. failure to completely digest
the food eaten: no matter whether the trou-
Bile is acid, dyspepsia or sour stomach,
belcning of wind, nervous dyspepsia or
loss of flesh and appetite; a person will
not have any of them if the stomach can
be induced by any natural, harmless way
TO thoroughly digest what is eaten, and
this can be done by simple remedy which
have tested in hundreds of aggravated
cases with complete success. The remedy
is a com bination of fruit and vegeta BILE
essences, pure aseptic papsin and golden
seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting
tablets, and sold by druggists under the
name of Siuart's Dypepsia Tablets. One
or two OF these tablets should be taken
after meals. and allowed to dissoUe in the
mouth, and mingling with the food in the
stomach digests 1t com pletely before it
has time to ferment, decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains cf meat, eggs and similar
wholesome foods.
1t is safe TO say if this wholesome
remedy was better known by people
generally it would be national blessing,
as we are nation OF dyspeptics, and
nine-tenths of all diseases owe the ir
origin TO imperfect digestion and nutri-
ton.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
secret patent medicine. But a 50.cent
Lackage will do more real good for
weak stomach than $50 worth of pate nj
medicines, and person has the satisfac.
,ion OF knowing just what he is putting
into his stomach, whiciI he does not
know when widely advertised patent
medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets; full-sized PACKAGES so cents.

stomach troubles mailed free by address,
