TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know

of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
apolis Gentleman.
Tablets

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame, are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines and
spring remedies; the real seat of mis-
chief is lost sight Of; the stomach is
the origin to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms Of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not In the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irreg-
ular;in others, the kidneys are affected;
in others the bowels are constipated.
with headaches; still others are troubled
with loss of flesh and appetite, with the
accumulation of gas, sour risings and
heartburns.
