All physicians agree that the element
of faith has a great deal to do in the
cure of disease.
Firm belief and confidence III a family
physician or the same confidence and
faith i'm a patent medicine have produced
remarkable cures i'll all ages.
This is especially true in nervous trou-
bles and no field offers so prolific har-
vest for the quack and charlatan as the
disease arising from a weak or rundown
nervous system
Nevertheless, the most common of all
diseases, indigestion, and stomach trou-
bles, which in turn cause nervous dis
eases, heart troubles, consumption and
loss of flesh, require something besides
faith to cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food for
You, will not give you an appetite, will
not increase your flesh and strengthen
your nerves and heart, but Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will do these things, be-
cause they are composed of the elements
of digestion; they contain the juices,
acids and peptones necessary to the di-
gestion and assimilation of all wholesome
food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food if placed in jar or bottle in water
heated to So degrees, and they viii do
it much more effectively when taken into
the stomach after meals, whether you
have faith that they will or not.
They inyigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves in the only
way that nature can do it, and that is
from plenty of wholesome food we'll di-
gested. 1t is not what we eat, but
what we digest that does us good.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists at 80 cents for fuIl-sized pack
age.

ARE YOU THIN 2
Do You Want to Become Fleshy?
\ FEW SIMPLE RULES.

Flesh and Not Fat is What is Needed
What thin people want is flesh, and not
fat. To be symmetrical and properly
proportiomed every person should have a
certain amount of flesh. To be plump
does not necessarily mean to be fat
Fat is undesirable: it clogs and retaTds
the action of every muscle, interferes
with the healthy action of the heart and
lungs, and when excessive predisposes to
fatty degeneration of vital organs, to say
nothing of the discomfort, more or less,
resulting from excessive adipose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become feshy and plump.
the thing most needed would be flesh
forming foods: in other words, alburi-
nous foods, like eggs, beef, oatmeal, etc.
The kinds Of food that make flesh are the
foods that form the greater part of our
daily bin of fare.
Now, the only reason so many people
remain thin is because their stomachs do
not properly and completely digest and
assimilate the Hesh-forming beefsteak and
eggs we eat every day.
There are thousands of such people,
and they are really dyspeptic, although
they may not suffer any particular pain
or Inconvenience from their stomachs
Ii such persons would take, with their
meals, some preparation like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, the food would be
quickly digested and the proper degree
of plumpness very soon secured, because
these tablets are prepared exactly for
that purpose. They will digest every va
riety of lesh-forming food, which as the
sole reason why they so quickly build
up and strengthen thin, dyspeptic men !
and women.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dys-
pepsia and every form of indigestion on |
this common sense plan, that they digest |
the food promptly, giving strength to ev-
cry nelye and organ of the body, while |
at the same time the stomach has a |
chance to rest and recover its natural |
yigor. Nothing further is required to
cure any stomach trouble, or to make
thin, dyspeptic people strong, plump and
we'll.
This excellent preparation is nanufac-
tured by II. A. Stuart Co, Marshall,
Mich, and sold by druggists everywhere
at 80 cents per package.

NO FAITH CURE
About Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indigestion,
Anyway, Whether You Have
Faith in Them or Not.

peatedly tested and proved, and thou
sands of cured dyspeptics have found
it to be true also.
DR.. Harlandson states that these tab
let's increase flesh because they digest
hesh-forming food like eggs, meat, and
ordinary everyday food; for the same
reason they purify the blood and
strengthen weak nerves. In mo other
way can it be done, because flesh, blood
and nerves are obtained from the food
we eet.
DR. Jennison once stated that he be-
Eeyed a 50-cent package of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets would give more real BEN
eft than fifty dollars worth of ordinary
DOCTORS fees.
These tablets may be found at any
drug store.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Troubles
Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look for the
Cause.

Do Not Be Alarmed but Look for the
Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing. and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
element and worry of American business
life, 1T lis more often the result of weak
stonachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable;
but not one case in hundred of heart
trouble IS organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
BILE and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by branches Of the
same great nerves, the Sympathetic and
PnermogastIic.
In another way also the heart is az
fected by that form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation from
half-digested food; there is feeling of
oppression and heaviness IN thu chest,
caused by pressure Of the distendel stom-
ach ON the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action; hence arise palpitat;cn
and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which Ir1itates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment Tor heart
trouble is to improve the Iig43.;on and
to insure the prompt assimilation of FOOD.
This can best be done by The regu.1r
use after meals of some safe. pleasant
and effective digestive PREPARATION, ike
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tables, which may
be found at most drug stocas. anI which
contains valuable. harmless digestive Gle.
ments in pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular. per-
sistent use of Suart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure ANY form
Of stomach trouble except cancer - tine

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow It's
Excessive Use.

E&ceSSTYe Use.
Common soda is all right in its place,
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it
was never intended for medicine, and
people who use it as such will some day
regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily, ard one which is
fraught with danger; moreover, the soda
only gives temporary relief aud in the
end the stomach trouble gets worse and
WORSE.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
TO the walls of the stomach and bowels,
and cases are ON record where it accn-
mulated in the intestines. causing death
by inflammation or peIitonitis.
DR. Harlanson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab
lets are large, twenty grain lozenges
very pleasant to taste, and contain the
natural acids, peptones and digestive ele
nlents essential to good digestion, and
food perfectly and promptly before it has
had time to ferment, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
DR. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach Heterogeneous, and finds
them a certain cure, not only for sour
stomach, but, by promptly digesting the
food they create a healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action of
the heart and liver. They are not Il
cathartic, but intended only for stom-
ach diseases and weakness and will be
found reliable III any stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach.

Tablets at 30 cents per package.
