Dysueptics, InvaIfds, Consum ptives.


What Is the first cause of nine-tenths
OF all disease?
Imperfect digestion of food.
why does imperfect digestion cause
disease Of other organs?
Because blood. nerves. muscles. bone,
and flesh are derived from the food we
eat and digest. II digestion Is perfect
the blood is pure. nerves and muscles
strong. flesh firm. IL the digestion Is
poor. the blood Is supplied from half
digested. fermenting food, irritating every
nerve and organ. The result is. sooner OF

gan being poorly nourished the weakest
gives way first, and we have liver trouble,
kidney complaints. heart disease. or con-
SUMPTION.
Is not dieting the usual and best treat
ment to cure indigestion?
No. because the dyspeptic has been
starved long enough: what Is needed Is
abundant nourishment, not the lack OF II
The stomach and blood demand nutri-
ment, not bran crackers.
What Is the best method Of cure?
Plenty OF wholesome food well digested
But how can a weak stomach digest
plenty of wholesome food?
Nv taking with the food after each mea
certain harmless remedies which art
known to digest food and thus nourisf
the blood and rest the weak stomach.
What are these harmless remediesY
The most valuable are vegetable Ter
ments. pure pepsin. Golden Seal, an'
fruit salts. All Of these are now com
bined in the form of pleasant-tasting tab
lets sold by druggists under the name O
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Are these tablets superior TO the various
liquid preparations so-called dyspepsi'

Most decidedly, because all liquid medi
