A RESTAURANT. EPISODE.
A Sort Of Straw Vote.

An advertising agent, representing
a prominent New York magazine. while
on a recent western trip, was dining
one evening in Pittsburg restaur-
ant.
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and no.
ticed the advertisement Of well
known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets; as he himself was
u regular user OF the tablets he began
speculating as to how many of the
other travelling men in the dining
room We're, also friends Of the popular
remedy for indigestion.
He says: aII counted twenty-three
men at the tables and in the hotel Of
fee and took the trouble to interview
them and was Snrprised to learn that
nine Of the twenty-three made; a prac-
tice of taking one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
One of them told me he had sui
fered so much from stomach trouble
that at one time he had been obliged
to quit the road, but since using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets had been
entirely free from Indigestion, but he
continued their use, especially while
travelling, on account of irregularity
in meals and because like all travelling
men he was often obliged to eat what
he could get and not always what lie
wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate meal with
out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased, without fear of
a sleepless night or any other trou-
BILE
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, caus-
ing pressure on heart and lungs, short
ness Of breath and distress in chest,
which he no longer experienced since
using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe
remedy he had ever found for sour
stomach and acidity, he had formerly
used common soda to relieve the trou-
BILE, but the tablets were much better
and safer to Use.
After smoking, drinking or other ex-
cesses which weaken the digestive
organs. nothing restores the stomach
to healthy, wholesome condition so
effectually as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestive, pepsin, diastase,
which every weak stomach lacks, as
we'll as nux, hydrastin and yellow
palilla, and can be safely relied upon
as radical cure, for every form Of
poor digestion. Sold by druggists
everywhere.
