sEAsONABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health in Fail and
EnrIy Winter.

A change from warm 10 cold Is always
attended with more danger than from
a cold TO a warm temperature, hence the
greater mortality from lung and throat
diseases at this season OF the year as
compared with spring.
The best protection against colds is not
so much in extra clothing as in good
digestion.
If the digestion and circulation are
good, colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor circulation
Of the blood. and when in this condition
severe colds are contracted on the slight
est proVocation.
People who make regular practice Of
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals are free from colds simply be-
cause their digestion is perfect, the heart
strong and regular, and the whole system
fortified against disease.
1t requires little argument TO convince
any one that the best safeguards against
colds pneumonia, and changes OF tenn
perature is a good stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals are dissolved and minging with
the food cause Il to be promptly digested
and assimilated; they do this because
they contain nothing but harmless dlges-
tive elements, which digest meat, eggs.
and other food even when the stomach
itself is weak and faced.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make people
well and keep them well, and the best
habit you can acquire Is TO make daily
use Of them at meals to keep the diges-
tive organs strong and vigorous.
