PECULIAR POIsONs.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of cer-
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs OF dis
ease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food the result of
indigestion or dyspepsia.
TIE stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result Is heavy,
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay. poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak, and lacking in
red corpuscles; poisoning the brain and
causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, caus-
ing palpitation and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetis.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist. HUXLEY
said the best start in life is sound
stomach. Weak stonachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lactiC
and hydrocloric) and peptogenic pro
ducts; the most sensible remedy in al
cases of Indigestion, is to ta' e aftel
each meal one or two of Stuart Dyspep
i'sia Tablets, because they supply in {
pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure bloot
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food we'll digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets at so cents full sizet
package or by mail by enclosing price
to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich, but ask
your druggist first.

mailed free. Address Stuart Co., Mar
ahall, Mich.
