GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BOD,
The Result Of Imperfect Digestion Of
Food.

Every living thing. plant or animal. con-
tains within itself ssSss germs Of certain
decay and death.
In the human body these germs Of dis
ease and death called b. scientists Pto-
maines). are usually the result OF lmper-
feet digestion Of food, the result Of indi-
gestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach. from abuse, weakness,
does not thoroughly and promptly digest
the food The result Is a heavy. sodden
mass. which ferments (the first process
Of decay poisoning the blood. making II
thin. weak ana lacking In red corpuseles;
poisoning the brain. causing headache and
pain In the eyes.
Bad digestion irriiates the heart. causing
palpltation and finally bringing on disease
OF this very important organ.
Poor digestion polsons the kidneys
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ.
every nerve, depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal. and
weak digestion shows Itself not only in
loss OF appetite ad flesh. but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist. Huxley.
said the best start in life is a sound stom-
ach. Weak stomachs fail 10 digest food
properly because they lack the proper
quantity OF digestive acids Qactic and
hydroehloriel and peptogenlc 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 pleasant, harm
less form all the elements that weak
stomachs lack.
The regular use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form OF stomach
trouble except cancer 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
