Years.
Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an est1maDle
lady residing at LynnYllle' jasper

markable that we present the lacts III

ach troubles may be avoided and cured.
Mrs. Skeels says: | used only one pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ana
7 received such great and unexpected
benefit that | wish to express my SIN
cere gratitude In fact it has been SIX
months since I took the medicine ana
I have not had one particle OF distress
or difficulty since. And all this IN the
face of the fact that the best doctors
consulted told me my case was IN
durable as | had suffered for twenty
five years. L want half a dozen pack
ages to distribute among my friends
here. who are very anxious to try this
remedy. Truly yours.
MRS. SARAH A, SKEELS.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing in
digestion and stomach trouble and the
reason why it never disappoints those
who need it and use it is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what it will
actually perform. 1t is not a cure-all
and no such claims are made for 1t.
II is prepared for the sole purpose OF
curing Dyspepsia and the various
forms of Indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed TO cure Dys-
pepsia as well as a hundred other
troubles. When as a matter of fact.
a remedy to cure Dyspepsia must be
prepared especially for that and moth
ing else: and among all the remedies
