THE OLD WAY
or Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion
by Dieting a Dangerous and
Useless One.

( We say the Old way. bu; really Il is a
very common one at the present time and
many dyspeptics and physicians as we'll
consider the first step 10 take in at
tempting TO cure indigestion is TO diet
either by selecting certain foods and re-
Jetting others or 10 greatly diminish the
quantity usually taken. in other words
the starvation plan Is by many supposed
TO be the first essential
The almost certain failure OF the star
walton cure for dyspepsia has been proven
dyspepsia makes ITS appearance a course
OF dieting is at once advised.
All this Is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientitic TO recommend dieting
or starvation to man sunerng from
dyspepsia, because indigestion itself
starves every organ and every nerve and
every fibre in the badly,
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition. which means plenty OF good
wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspepsia
thing TO assist the weak stomach to di-
gest 1t. This Is exactly the purpose for
which S;uart'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'sDyspepsia
Tablets dlgests It for him, In this way
the system Is nourished and the over
worked stomach rested, because the tab
let's will digest the food, whether the
stomach works or not. One Of these tab
let's will digest 5000 grains of meat or
egss,
Your druggist will tell you that Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and
safest remedy for stomach troubles and
every trial makes one more friend for
this excellent preparation Sold at 50
cents for full sized package at all drug
stores.
