THEY RIDICULE 1T.
MANY PEOPLE RIDICUlE THE IDEA
OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLES.
Ridicule, However, is Not Argument. and
Facts are stubborn Things.


Facts are stubborn Things.
Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be radical, permanent cure
for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such
pride themselves on their acuteness in never
being humbugged, especially on medicines.
This fear OF being humbugged may be
carried too far so far, i'll fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk little time and money in
| faithfully testing the claims Of q prepare
! ton so reliable and universally used as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
| Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly
| different in one important respect from or
| binary proprietary medicines, for the reason
| that they are not a secret patent medicine,
no secret is made of their ingredients, but
| analysis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the
digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, ny
drasts and nux. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any organ,
but they cure Indigestion on the common
| sense plan of dgesting the food eaten
promptly, thoroughly, before it has time to
| ierment, sour and cause the mischief. This
is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half digested is
poison, as it creates gas, acidity, headaches,
palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and
appetite, and many other troubles which
| are often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere at
SO cents per package. Address Stuart Co.,
Marshall, Mich, for book on stomach dis
eases, or ask ysur druggist for it.
