Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
a discovery Of great value to the
medical profession and the public.
They are an unfailing specific in
all cases of dyspepsia and disorder
ed digestion.
Almost everybody's digestion is
disordered more or less. and the
commonest thing they do for 1t is
to take some one of the many So
called blood purifiers, which in
many cases are merely strong ca
thartics Such things are not need
ed. If the organs are in a clogged
condition, they need only little
help and they will right them
selves. Cathartics irritate the SEN
sitive Innings of the stomach and
bowels and often do more harm
than good.
Purging is not what is needed.
The thing to do is to put the food
in condition to be readily digested
and assimilated. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets do this perfectly. They
partly digest what is eaten and
give the stomach just the help it
needs. They stimulate the secre-
ton and excretion of the digest
i've fluids and relieve the congested
condition of the glands and mem
branes. They put the whole digest
i've system in condition to do its
work. When that is done you need
take no more tablets, unless you
eat what does not agree with you.
Then take one or two tablets-give
them needed help and you will
have no trouble.
It's a common-senSe medicine
and a common sense treatment.
and it will cure every time. Not
only cure the disease, but the
cause. Goes about 1t in a per-
fectly sensible and scientific way.
We have testimonials enough to
fill book. but we don't publish
many of them. However,
Mrs. E. NI. Faith, of Byrd's
Greek, Wis, says: Il have taken
all the tablets l got of you, and
they have done their work well
in my case, for / feel like differ

H. E. Willard, Onslow, Ia, says:

ing him of Dyspepsia, from which
he had suffered for eight years.

WATCH COFFEE
And watch 1t Carefully.

And Watch 1t Carefully.
Any brain worker that depends on
thought for his success in life, uses up
daily, by brain work, varying amount
OF the delicate particles of phosphate of
potash and albumen of which the brain
and nerve centres are composed
The fine, microscopic particles of
phosphate of potash are found in guam
titles in the pores Of the skin after the
brain has been used actively This
must be replaced from food, or brain
faS and nervous prostration sets in.
This breaking down of the little cells
each day, from brain work alone, is a
natural process, and the cells can be
readily built from the right sort of
food, if the system is not interfered
with by drugs, but if an increased
amount of cells are broken down by
the use of coffee, trouble then begins.
Frequently it first shows in dyspep-
STA, lack of power of the bowels to op-
crate properly, or palpitation of the
heart or some other lack of vitality
and healthy vigor. There is but one
