TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.

Dyspepsia Tablets
Interesting Experience of an indianapolis
Genfleman.

Interesting Experience of an indianapolis
Gentleman.
No trouble Is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat of the mis-
chief is lost sight Of; the stomach is the
organ 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 accumu-
alton of gas. sour risings and heartburn
Mr.. A W. Sharper Of No. 81 Prospect
St, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"a motive of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the new
and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets I have been a sufferer from
nervous dyspepsia for the last four years;
have used va rious patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable re-
suit. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects Of the medicine
wore off I attribute this to my sedentary
habits, being a bookkeeper and with little
phvsical exercise but am glad TO state
that the tablets have overcome all these
obstacles. for l have gained in flesh. sleep
better. and am better in every way. The
above is written not for notoriety, but is
based on actual fact
Respectfully yours,
