TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
apOlis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood 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 reme-
dies; the real seat of the mischief 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 ev-
cry other organ; in some cases the heart
palpitates and is irregular; in others the
kidneys are affected; in others the bowels
are constipated, with headaches; stfll others
are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas, sour risings and
heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
street, 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 Dyspepsia Tab
lets. 1 have been sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years; have used
various patent medicines and other rene
dies without any favorable result. They
sometimes gave temporary relief until the
effects of the medicine wore off. attributed
| this to my sedentary habits, being book
keeper. with little physical exercise, but
| am glad to state that the tablets have over
come all these obstacles, for I have gained
in flesh, sleep better and am better in every
way. The above is written, not for noto-
riety, but is based on actual fact. Respect
/ fully yours, A. w. SHARPER,
''61 Prospect Street, indianapolis, Ind"
! It is safe to say that Stuarts Dyspepsia
| Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or
| disease except cancer of the stomach. They
/ cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and APP
/ petite sleeplessneSs, palpitation, heartburn,
/ constipation and headache.

diseases by addressing Stuart Co., Marshall,

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-01-02

among babies and among men is due to the
fact that half of the mothers do not know
anything about the way in which to bring
up child. A mother has a child and she
does not know what to do with it. She
does not know what TO feed It, She hasn't
intelligence enough to know that exposure
or green apples will kill her baby. In a
great many Instances a woman'S physical
condition ought to be bar to her marriage,
for whatever offspring she has will not
thrive. Now there is no question about
these facts. Marriages that never ought to
have taken place and ignorance of mothers
are causing many unnecessary deaths and
facilitating the population of this city. as
we'll as every other city in the land.
Now, this curse can be done away with,
and am going to do away with it if /
passed compelling every woman to go
through an examination as to her physical
condition and her mental capacity and re-
quirements. The family physician can pass
upon the question of health and the exam
ination as to the proper methods for bring
ing up children can be determined by
regular civil-Service examination. OF course,
heart-Durnngs and embarrassments, but
the results would be so beneficial to the
couple directly interested as well as to the
rest of the community that these draw
backs would be too unimpOrtant to be
worthy of consideration"
do you think such a law will ever be
passed?" DR.. Wende was asked.
II don't know. 1t ought to be, and Ill
have 1t passed If can"
