THE OLD WAY.

USELESS ONE

USELESS ONE.
We say the old way. but really it is a very
common one at present time and many dys-
peptics and physicians as well consider the
first step TO take in attempting TO cure indi-
pestion is 10 diet either by selecting certain
foods and rejecting others or TO greatly al
minish the quantity usually taken. IN other
words the starvation plan IS by many supposed
10 be the first essential
The almost certain failure Of the starvation
cure for dyspepsia has been proven time and
again but still the moment dyspepsia makes us
appearance a course OF dieting is at once ad-
vised.
All this is radically wrong II is foolish ana
unscientifc 10 recommend dieting or starva-
tion 10 a man suffering from dyspepsia, be-
cause indigestion itself staryes every organ
and every nerve and every fibre in the body
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant nu-
triton. which means plenty Of good, whole
some well cooked food and something 10 assist
the weak stomach 10 digest it, This is exactly
the purpose for which Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's are adapted, and this is the method by
which they cure the worst OF dyspepsia,
in other words the patient eats plenty OF whole

nourished and the ovcrWOrked stomach rested.
because the tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works not. One OF these tablets
will digest 5000 grains Of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuarts Dys-
pepsis Tablets is the purest and safest remedy
for stomach troubles. and every trial makes
one more friend for this excellent preparation.
