CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
"A Pleasant Simple, But Safe EfTectual Cur
for 1t


"A Pleasant Simple, But safe Enectual Cure
for It.
Catarrh Of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable
Inc usual symptoms are a full or
Dloatlng sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
rlslngs, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
dlllcult breathing; headache tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general play
ed out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
TO ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach.
10 secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing
to do, and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared
According to Or. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is the use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Diastase, Aseptite Pepsin, little NuX,
Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, and not
being patent medicine, can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough diges-
ton will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn
St, Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from a ne
elected cold in the head whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
inflamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrOm, passing backward into the
throat, reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of stomach without
cure, but to-day | am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. | cannot find
appropriate words to express my good
feeling
| have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as we'll as the SIM
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of Indigestion, catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall Mich. The tablets can
be found at all drug stores.
