A HUNDRED REASONS

Can be given why Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets are the best and most effffeetual cure for every form Of in- digestion.
 They are in Tablet folm which re- tains their good qualities indetinit- ely, while liquid preparations be- come stale and useless with age.
 They areconvenient, can be carried in the pocket and taken when needed. I hey are pleasant to the taste.
 After each meal dissolve one or two of them in the mouth and. mingling with the food, they con stitute perfect digestive. absolutely safe for the most sensitive stomach.
 They digest the food before if has time to lernent, thus preventing the formation of gas and keeping the blood pure and free from the poison ous products of fermented, half digested food.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the complexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
 They increase flesh by digesting iesh-forming foods.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only remedy designed especially for the cure of stomach troubles and nothing else.
 One disease. one remedy, the successful physician of today is the specialist, the successful medicine is the medicine prepared especially for one disease.
 A whole package taken at one time would not hurt you. but would be | waste of good material.
 Over six thousand men and women in the State of Michigan alone have been cured of indigestion and dys- pepsia by the use of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets.
 Sold by all druggists at 30 cents per package.

Flower Fans.

A happy idea, started by foreign fan makers, is to conceal long tubes in the fan sticks, so that punches of flowers may be firmly held in them. The effect is a fan of natural flowers, as charming as it is novel, while the odor waited in flaming is most delicious. The new fad will be to order flowers for one's fan and to study floral effects in connection with corsage bouquets and skirt trim mings.
