WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by Dieting a Dangerous and
 Useless One.

We say the old way; but really it is a very common one at the present time and many dyspeptics and phy- sicians as well consider the first step to take in attempting to cure indiges- ton is to diet, either by selecting cer- tain foods and rejecting others or to greatly diminish the quantity usually taken, in other words the starvation plan is supposed by many to be the first essential.
 The almost certain failure of the starvation cure has been proven time and again, but still the moment dys- pepsia makes it's appearance course of dieting Is at once advised.
 All this is radically wrong. It is foolish and unscientific to recommend dieting to man suffering from dys- pepsia, because indigestion itself staryes every organ, every nerve, and every fibre in the body.
 What the dyspeptic wants is abund- ant nutrition, which means plenty of good, wholesome well cooked food, and something to assist the weak stomach to digestit. This is exactly the pur- pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and this is the method by which they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia, in other words the patient eats plenty of wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digests It for him. In this way the system IS nourished and the oyerworked stom- ach rested, because the tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. One of these tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
 Your druggist will tell you that Stu arts Tablets is the purest and safest remedy for stomach troubles and every trial makes one more friend for this excellent preparation. Sold at 30 cents for full sized package at all drug stores

A PLAGUE OF The MIGHT.
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BY A
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
"A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form Of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles, indicated by warmth, slight moist
ure and intense, uncomfortable itching
IN the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
tunes give temporary relief, but moth
Ing like permanent cure can be eX-
pected from such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleed
Ing or protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the continued
use for short time causes a perma-
nent removal of the tumors or the small
parasites which cause the intense Itch
ing and discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure was be-
cause 1t was supposed to contain CO.
cafne, opium or similar drugs, but such
is not the case. A recent careful analy-
sis Of the remedy showed it to be abb
solutely free from any cocaine, opium,
or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extern
sively recommended by physicians be-
cause 1t Is SO safe, so prompt in the re-
lief afforded and SO far as known the
only positive cure for piles except
surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known, the safest and
the most extensively sold Of any pile
cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at SO
cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall,
Mich, for book on cause and cure Of
piles and also hundreds Of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
If suffering from any form Of piles ask
your druggist for a package Of Pyramid
Pile Cure and try 1t tonight.
