NO FAITH CURE
sTUART's DYSPEPSIA TAB
LETS.
They Cure Stomach Troubles aud
Indigestion Anyway, Whether You
Have Faith in Them or Not.


All physicians agree that the element
of faith has great deal to do in the
cure OF disease.
Firm belief and confidence in a family
physician or the same confidence and faith
in a patent medicine, have produced re-
markable cure In all ages.
This is especially true in nervous
troubles, and no field offers so prolific a
harvest for the quack and charlatan as
the diseases arising from a weak or run
down nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common OF all
diseases, indigestion and stomach troubles
which in turn cause nervous diseases, heart
troubles. consumption and loss OF flesh, re-
quires something besides faith to cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food for
you, will not give you an appetite VIII
not increase your flesh and strengthen
your nerves and heart. but Stuart's Dys-
pepsa Tablets will do these things be-
cause they are composed of the elements
Of digestion; they contain the juices, acids
and peptonos necessary to the digestion
and assimilation OF all wholesome food.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food If placed in a jar or bottle in water
heated TO 9S degrees, and they Will do
il much moro effectively when taken INTO
the stomach after meals, whether you
have faith that they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach. make pure
blood and strong nerves, In the only way
that nature can do it, and that is, from
plenty Of wholesome food well digested,
II is not what we eat, but what we digest.
that does us good.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists at 80 cents for full sized pack
