A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
aud Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is
indigestion or in its chronic form. dy-
spepsia, and for the very reason that j.
is so common many people neglect TAX
ing proper treatment for what they
consider trifling stomach trouble, when
as a matter of fact indigestion lays
the foundation for many ircurable di-
seases. No person with IL vigorous,
healthy stomach will fall a victim to
consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion; thin. nervous peo-
pie are really so because their stom-
achs are out of gear; weary, languid,
faded out women owe their condition
to imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion IL is
not surprising that nearly every secret
patent medicine on the market claims
to be cure for dyspepsia. as we'll as
score Of other troubles, when in fact,
as DR.. Wcrthier says. there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectlv safe and reliable and morrow
er, this remedy is not a patent medi-
cine but is a scientific combitation of
pure pepsin, (free from animal matte),
vegetable essences, fruit salts and bis
| muth. 1t is sold by druggists under
the name of Stuarts DYSPEPSIA Tablets.

these tablets will digest it. A cure re-
! suits, because all the stomach needs is

article than your competitor If you
can not get a better price for it?
Ans-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only
the better, 50 that while our profits
may be smaller on a single sale they
will be much greater in the aggre-
gate.

your make is the best"

emily before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass Judgment on them
