Stomach troubles are 50 common and
in most cases, so obstinate to cure, that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a rad
icaI, permanent cure for dyspepsia and
Indigestion Many such pride them
selves on their acU.eness in never be-
ing humbugged, especially in medi-
cines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk q little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made Of a preparation so re-
Liable and universally used as Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary nedi-
cines for the reason that they are net
a secret patent medicine, no secrst Is
made Of the;- ingredients, but analy-
sis shows them to contain the natural
digestive fermeEts, pure aseptic pep
sin. the digestive acids, Golden Seal,
bismuth. hyG1astis and nux. They are
not cathaitic. neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, but they cure in
digestion on the common sense plan OF
.digeSting the FOOD eaten thoroughly
before it has time to fs1Tment. sour and
cause the mischief This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach trou-
bIes because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken af-
ter meals digest the food That is all
there is to it, Food not digested or
half digested is poison, as it creates
