VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From some Form of Indf-
gesttOu.

Very few people are free from some
form of indigestion. but scarcely TWO VIII
have the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eating
boating from gas In stomach and bow
els others have heartburn or sour ris-
ings; stin Others have palpitation of
heart, headaches, slecpiessness, pains in
chest and under shoulder blades; some
have extreme nervousness as in nervous
dyspepsia.
But whatever the symptoms may be.
the cause in all cases of indigestion is
the 'san7e-ihat is. the stomach for some
reason fails to properly and promptly dt-
gest what Is eaten.
This is the whole story OF stomach trou-
bles in a nut shell. The stomach must
have rest and assistance and Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets give it both by supply
ing those natural digestives which every
weak stomach lacks, owing TO the failure
of the peptic glands in the stomach to
secrete sufficient acid and pepsin TO thor
oughly digest and assimilate the food
eaten.
one grain of the active principle in Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000
grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome
food. and this claim has been proven by
actual experiment which any one can
perform for himself in the following man
nor: Cut hard-bo egg into very small
pieces, as it would be If masticated: place
the egg and two or three of the tablets in
a bottle or jar containing warm water
heated TO aS degrees dhe temperature Of
the body, and keep il at this temperature
for three and one-half hours, at the end Of
which time the egg win be as completely
digested as ii would have been in the
healthy stomach Of hungry boy.
The point of this experiment Is that what
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the
egg in the bottle It will do to the egg or
meat in the stomach and nothing else
viii rest and invgorate the stomach so
safely and effectually Even a little child
can take Stuart's Tablets with safety and
benefit IL its digestion is weak and the
thousands OF cures accompanied by their
regular daily use are easily explained
when IL is understood that they are COM
posed of vegetable essences, aseptic pep
sin. diastaste and Golden Seal, which min
gle with the food and digest ii thoroughly.
giving the overworked stomach a chance
to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither
do pills and cathartic medicines, which
simply irritate and infiame the intestines.
When enough food is eaten and prompt
ly dlgested there Will be no constipation.
nor. in fact. will there be disease OF any
kind, because good digestion means good
health In every organ.
The merit and success Of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets are world wide and they
are sold at the moderate price of 80 cents
for full sized package in every drug store
in the United States and Canada as we'll
as in Europe.

revenue, during his short sojourn in town.

house this afternoon with the word forg-
cry" stamped across its face.
Mayer appeared here yesterday ana
made the acquaintance of well-known
attorney. He incidentally displayed
badge Of the revenue office and showed
gun and pair OF handouts, which gave
color to HIS announcement that he was
special officer In the internal revenue de-
Sartment

question that is puZZling his new-made
friends here. who believe he has former
ly been connected with the service, but is
now a dead beat. He is described as
medium-sized man with dark hair and
eyes.
