Almost every man in America
has some digestive trouble. When
men meet, the greeting usually
is, "Well, how are you:" That
develops health talk. The man
who has no bowel or stomach
trouble is almost a curiosity.
Trouble is men take no care of
themselves. They eat as though
they had copper stomachs and
bowels of brass. By and by,
overworked nature rebels. Then
come headaches, nervousness,
bad blood, liver and kidney trou-

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion
by Dieting, Dangerous and
Useless One

ScltSS VHc
We say the old way, but really
it is very common one at pres
ent time and many dyspeptics
and physicians as we'll consider
the first step to take IN attempt
ing to cure indigestion is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods
and rejecting others or to greatly
diminish the quantity usually
taken, IN other words, the starva-
ton plan is by many supposed
to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of
the starvation cure for dyspepsia
has been proven time and again,
but still the moment dyspepsia
makes it's appearance a course of
dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t
is foolish and unscientific to rec
commend dieting or starvation to
a man suffering from dyspepsia,
because indigestion itself starves
every organ and every nerve and
every fibre in the body.
What the dyspeptlc wants is
abundant nutrition, which means
plenty of good. wholesome, we'll
cooked food and something to as
sist the weak stomach to digest
it. This is exactly the purpose
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 digest
it for him. In this way the sys-
tenn is nourished and the over
worked stomach 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 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
is the purest and safest remedy
for stomach troubles and every
trial makes one more friend for
this excellent preparation. Sold
at scots. for full sized package at
all drug stores.
