A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyxuepsfa

The Rev. F. I. Bell, a highly esteemed
minister residing in woodsport. Cayuga
Co, y, Y. in recent letter writes as fol-
lows; There has never been anything
that / have taken that has relieved the
Dyspepsia from which / have suffered for

them / have had no distress al all after
eating and again after long years can
sleep well. Rev. F. 1. Bel. Weedsport
y. Y. formerly. Idalia Colo"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a remark
able remedy, not only because il is a GER
tain cure for all forms OF Indigestion. but
because IL seems 70 act as thoroughly in
old chronic cases OF Dyspepsia as well as
in mild attacks OF ind ton or bilious
ness. A person has dyspepsia simply be-
cause the stomach is overworked; all IL
wants is harmless. vegetable remedy TO
digest the food and thus give IL the much
needed rest.
This Is the secret OF the success OF this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or
how much disordered the digestion may
be, S.uart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
the food whether the stomach works or
not New life and energy is given not
only TO the stomach but to every organ
and nerve in the body. A trial of this
splendid medicine will convince the most
skeptical that Dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. The tablets are
prepared by the Stuart Che mical Co., of
Marshall. Mich. but 50 popular has the
remedy become that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets can now be obtained at any drug
