TRUTHS EASILY DIGESTED.
Concerning a Method OF Curing Dyspep-
STA and stomach Troubles.

Dyspepsia and indigestion are consider
ed incurable by many people who DO not
realize the advance made in modern med
zeal science, and because by the old meth
DDS and remedies a cure was rarely II
ever obtained
Dyspepsia is now cured as readily as any
other disease.
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty OF good,
wholesome. well-cooked food and some
thing TO assist 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 whole
some food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
digest 1t for him. In this way the sys-
TEN is nourished and the oyerworked
stomach rested. because the tablets VIII
digest the food whether the stomach
works or not one Of these tablets VIII
