PECULIAR PolsoNs.
Generated in the Human BOdy-The Result
of Imperfect Digestion of Food.


Every living thing, plant OF ami
NAL, contains within itself the germs
of certain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death Called by scientists
ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse. weak
oughly digest the food. The result is
a heavy, sodden mass which ferments
(the first process of decay poisoning
the blood. making it thin, weak. and
lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning
the brain, causing headaches and pain
in the eyes.
Bad digestion initiates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very Important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kid
neys, causing Bright's disease and
diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stom
ach alone for nourishment and re-
newal, and weak digestion shows it
self not only in loss of appetite and
flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy
complexion.
The great English scientist. Hulk
ley, said the best start in life is a
sound stomach. Weak stomachs fail to
digest food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
(lactic and hydrochloric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of Indigestion is
TO take after each meal one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply in a pleasant, harmless
form all the elements that weak stom-
achs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will cure every
form of stomach trouble except can
Ger of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, bright eye
and clear complexion, because all
these result only from wholesome
food well digested.
