. A TRAVELLING MAN.
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regarding the
Care of Health While Travelling.

Care of Health While Travelling.
Mr.. X. w. Wincherdon, a commercial
traveller from Birmingham. whose busi
ness keeps him almost constantly on
the road, relates in the Sunday News
the dangers to health resulting from
constant change of residence and the
way he overcame the usual injurious
effects.
He says: One thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change in water and food: the stomach
never has an opportunity to become ac-
customed to anything and in few
years or much sooner the average
travelling man becomes a hopeless dys-
peptic.
For several years I suffered more or
less from Indigestion. sour stomachs.
headaches, dlstaste for food. often no
appetite. gas on the stomach and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect
digestion.
Nearly every travelling man has his
favorhte remedy for different troubles
and tried all Of them with Indifferent
results. Finally on the train between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, l
overheard a conversation between two
ladies', one OF whom had suffered Sc
verely from indigestion and stated she
had been completely cured by a rem
edy which she called Stuart's Dyspep-
sla Tablets; I remembered the CONVEX
sation because II directly interested
me; and at the next town inquired at
the first drug store and bought pack
age for fifty cents, and from that day
to this have never been without them
They are pleasant tasting tablets, not
secret patent medicine but composed
of vegetable essences, pure pepsln, fruit
salts and Golden Seal; being in tablet
form they never lose their good quail
ties like liquid medicine would. but
are always fresh and ready for use.
/ carry box in my pocket contin-
ually. and whenever | see any symp-
toms of indigestion take one, also one
after each mead. and for a year and a
half / have not lost a day by reason of
poor health and can eat anything and
relish what | eat; my digestion is alb
solutely perfect as far as I can Judge
from my feelings and although there
may be other stomach medicines lust
as good ms Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
/ do not know what they are. Ger
tagnly for people who travel they are
far ahead Of any liquid medicine, as
they are so convenient. they can be
carried In the pocket and used when
ever needed.
! believe they are sold by all drug
gists at 80 cents, and believe anyone
who will try them will agree with me.
that for Indigestion and stomach
trouble stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
unequaled.
