 Stuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets is a cause it is q certain cure for all forms of Indigestion, but because it seems to act as thoroughly in old chronic cases 0f Dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks of indigestion or hilliausness. \ person has dyspepsia simply be- cause the stomach is ovcrWOrked, {, all if X nnts is a harmless. yegeta- ble remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much needed rfGt.
 This is the secret of the success Q this peculiar remedy. Nc matter how weak or how much disordered the digestion may bp, stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets win digest the food whether the stomach works or not. New lie 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 tho most skeptical that Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be cured The tablets are pre- pared by the Stuart Chemical Cu., Gf Marshall, Mich, but SO popular has tho remedy become that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can now be ob- tained at any drug store at 70 cents per package.
