THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
TESTED.
Results in the Tests of Various Forms
of Dyspepsia

Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia,
while a very common trouble, has for
some time been looked upon by able
physicians as serious thing, and that
no time should be lost in treating it
properly at the start, because recent
researches. have shown that the most most
fatal and incurable diseases have
their origin in simple dyspepsia or IN
digestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of indi-
gestion, the sugar and starchy food not
being assimilated by the digestive or
gans In Bright's disease the albu-
men is not properly assimilated-
While consumption and dyspepsia are
twin diseases, and it is beyond question
that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for
the seeds of consumption
But the trouble has been to
find a remedy that could be depended
upon to cure dyspepsia, as it is motor
fousiy obstinate and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics
alike, until the question was solved
three years ago by the appearance of a
new dyspepsia cure in the medieai
Tablets, which it was claimed was as
a certain, reliable cure for every form
of stomach trouble.
cept such statements without first CIV
ing the new remedy many tests and
carefully observing results
For three years the remedy has been
Thoroughly tested in every section of
the country and with surprising and
satisfactory results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
honestly claimed to be a specific, a rad
zeal lasting cure for indigestion in the
various forms of acid dyspepsia or sour
stomach, gas or wind on stomach, too
much bile, undue fullness or pressure
after eating and similar symptoms re-
sultfng from disordered digestion Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until the three
years trial left no doubt as to their
value and they have recently been
placed in the trade and can be found
on sale at all druggists at the nominal
price of so cents per package.
No extravagant claims are made for
The remedy 1t will not cure rheuma-
tism, pneumonia, typhoid fever nor
anything but just what it is claimed to
cure and that is every form of stomach
trouble.
No dieting is necessary, good whole
some food and plenty of it and you may
rest assured that Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest 1t.
Druggists claim for it that it is a
pleasure to recommend it to dyspeptics,
because it gives such universal satis-
faction.
