WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE



Doctors have their hobbies as
well as other people, and in the
treatment of disease often carry
them too far for the patients good.
For instance, in the treatment of
Indigestion or dyspepsia many doc
tors give bismuth and nothing else,
others rely on pepsin to bring their
patients through, still another doc
tor treats stomach troubles with
the various vegetable essences and
fruit salts.
Now n or the other of these
excellent remedies become a hobby
with the doctor who has had most
success wiea the particular one in
question, because all OF them are
first class remedies for indigestion
and dyspepsia, but not one of them
alone is so good as a combination
of all of them, such as is found in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which
contains not only vegetable essen
e and fruit salts. but also the
freshest, purest pepsin and bis
muth. making altogether a remedy
unsurpassed for every form of in
digestion, sour stomach. nervous
dyspepsia, belching OF gas. distress
after eating. sleeplessness, head
aches, etc.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not
a secret patent nostrum, but you
can see for yourself what 1t Is, and
knowing this, its success as a dys-
pepsia cure is not surprising. All
druggists recommend and sell
them at so cents.
