TRUTHS EASILY DlGEsrEo.
Concerning a Method of Curing Dys-
,,epsia and Stomach Troubles.

Concerning Il Stethod OF curing DyS-
pelrsia and Stomach Troubles.
Dyspepsia and Indigestion are considered
incurable by many people who do not
realize the advance made in modern medi-
cal science, and because by the Old meth
DDS and remedies cure was rarely if
ever obtained.
Dyspepsia is now cured as readily as any
other disease.
What the dysoeotic wants is abundant
nutrition. which means PLENTY C. good.
Wholesome, weil-cooked food and some.
thing to assist the weak stomach TO digest
1t. This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart.s Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and this is the method by which they cure
the worst cases of Dyspepsia, in other
words the patient eats plenty Of waole-
some food and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
digest it for him. In this way the sys-
tenn is nourished and the overwori.ed
stomach rested. because the tablets will
digest the food whether the stomach works
or not. One Of these tablets vii, digest
5000 grains OF meat or eggs.
Your druggist Will tell you that Stuars's
Dyspepsia Tablets Is a remedy sold on its
merits and Is the purest, safest and
cheapest remedy sold FOR stomach troubles.
and every trial makes one more friend for
this exaa,lant preparation.

"Winter oats are also heading. The
