THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying
IL Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that peo-
pie are apt to look with suspicion on anv
remedy claiming to be a radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and Indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their
acuteness in never being humbugged, es
pecially in medicines.
This fear Of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made of preparation so reliable and uni
versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different In one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines, for
the reason that they are not a secret pat
ent medicine; no secret is made of their
ingredients, but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments.
pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids.
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux.
They are not cathartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ, but they
cure indigestion on the common-sense
plan of digesting the food eaten thor
oughly before it has time to ferment, sour
and cause the mischief This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach troubles
because they act entirely on the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really IN the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food That is all there
is to it, Food not digested or half Ill
gested IS poison, as it creates gas, acid
ity, headaches palpitation of the heart,
loss Of flesh and appetite, and many 9TH
er troubles which are often called by
some other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at so cents per package.

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE presence OF

to bulge until the bluecoats made a vig-
