IT MERITS ATTENTION
A New Preparation Which Cures Dys-
pepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Remarkable Curative Properties.

A new remedy, which may revolution
lze the treatment of stomach troubles,
has recently been placed before the
public and bears the endorsement of
many leading physicians and scientific
men.
The remedy is not a wonderful secret
discovery, nor a patent medicine, neither
is it claimed to cure anything except in
digestion and stomach troubles, with
which nine-tenths of our nation are
afflicted.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozengers containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic
pepsin (free from animal impuritiesl
bismuth and Golden Seal; they are all
sold by druggists generally under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Many interesting experiments made
with these tablets show that they pos
sess remarkable digestive powers, one
grain of the active principle being sufi-
cient to thoroughly digest 5000 times its
own weight of lean meat, eggs, oatmeal
or similar wholesome foods; these
tablets do not act on the bowels like
after dinner pills, nor in fact do they
act upon any particular organ, but the
manner in which they cure all forms of
indigestion is this: They act entirely
upon the food eaten, digesting it com
pletely, nourishing every tissue and
nerve in the body they simply perform
the work of digestion, thus giving the
weak stomach rest and assistance sufi-
cient to enable it to recover its nor NAL
strength. This is the reason SO many
pretended cures have signally failed /;
they do not furnish the digestive po,rer
which is the one thing above all others
that the stomach of the dyspeptic lacks.
and unless that lack is supplied, it is
waste of time to attempt to restore the
enfeebled stomach by means of ''tocics,' -
stomach bitters' and "pills" no per-
manent good can result from their use.
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion it will
very soon recover; this is the secret and
the whole secret of the remarkable cue
cess of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a
remedy practically unknown year ago
and now the most popular, widely used
dyspepsia remedy. everywhere success
secured almost entirely on its merits, as
it has never been extensively advertised.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are now
sold by dl uggists everywhere at so cts.
per package; if he HASN'T them in stock
he will order them for you from his
wholesale house. They are made by
the F. A. Stuart Co., chemists, Mar.
shall, Mich, who will be pleased to send
information and testimonials from every
state in the union.

of the Atlantic Coast Line; Wilmington

clerks are men who give strict attention
to business and are polite and obliging
