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

Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases 50 obstinate to cure that people
are ap; to look with suspicion on any rem
edy claiming to be a radical. permanent
cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines
This fear Of being humbugged can be
carried too far. so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk a little time and money
in faithfully testing the claims made OF a
preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
Now. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines Tor
the reason that they are not secret
patent 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 thoroughly before
il has time TO feTment 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 be
cause 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
20 it, Food not digested or half digested
is poison. as it creates gas. aeidity. head
aches palpitation OF the heart. loss OF
flesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other name.
