BRAIN FOOD
Is of LittIe HemeGt Unless 1t Is Di-
Eestcd.

Is of Little RcHeHt Mess 1t Is Di-
gestcd.
Nearly everyone viii admit that as a ma
ton we eat too much meat and too little
of vegetables and The grains.
For business men. Office men, and clerks,
and. in fact. everyone engaged in sedentary
or indoor occupations. grains, milk, and
vegetables are much more heaithful.
only men engaged in a severe outdoor
manual labor can live on a heavy meat
diet and continue IN health.
As q general rule meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes Of men, women and
children. and grains, fruit, and vegetables
should constitute the bulk Of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious foods
are difficult Of digestion and II is of no use
10 advise brain workers TO eat largely of
grains and vegetables where the digestion
is too weak TO assimilate them properly.
II is always best TO get the best results
from our food that some simple and harm
less digestive should be taken after meals
10 assist the relaxed digestive organs. and
several years experience have proven
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets TO be a very
safe pleasant and effective digestive and
a remedy which may be taken daily with
the best results.
Suart's Dyspepia Tablets can hardly be
! called a patent medicine, as they do not
| act on the bowels nor any particular organ.
but only on the food eaten. They supply
what weak stomachs lack, pepsin diastasr,
! and By stimulating the gastric glands In
| crease the natural secretion of hydrochloric
! acid.
People who make a daily practice of tax
| ing one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
| lets after each meal are sure TO have per-
| feet digestion, which means perfect health.
There is no danger Of forming an in
| furious habit, as the tablets contain abso-
| lutely nothing but natural digestives; CO.
caine. morphine, and similar drugs have no
| place in q stomach medicine, and Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best
| known and most popular of all stomach
| remedies.
Ask your druggist for 5O-cent package
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, after 8
week use, note the improvement in health
appetite and nervous energy.
