WILL BECOME PoPvLAR7
How Do You Like Thi. New Fad

Vegetarians, anti-coffee drinkers and
take back seat, for a new fad has the
| floor
| A society has recently been formed, the
members of which pledge themselves to eat
| no food whatever that has been cooked
! Ihey claim that uncooked food is the only
rational healthful diet; that our remote
ancestors ate no cooked food, and therefore
ii We do the same vigor and health will be
our reward
Raw meat, raw potatoes raw wheat, raw
eggs raw everything, is the enticing bill of
fare held out to the enthusiastic food crank
of the future, and the society proposes to
establish restaurants in the larger cities
where this delightful menu may be served
daily.
Modern cooking is often a dyspepsia pro-
Queer. because We fry so many foods which
should be baked, roasted broiled or boiled;
fried food is indigestible because each par
ticle of food is incased in hot grease which
the digestive juices of the stomach cannot
easily penetrate; but properly cooked food
is more easily digested than the same food
uncooked. and We predict for the new fad a
very limited following.
The real cause of indigestion is the lack
of hydrochloric acid and peptones in the
stomach so that no matter how well cooked
the food. it cannot be well digested unless
the gastric Juice is abundant and contains
the necessary amount of peptones TO dis
solve the food
Therefore the most sensible cure for poor
digestion is to take after each meal some
safe and reliable digestive like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which supply peptones
to digest the meat and eggs and diastase to
digest the bread, potatoes. and similar
starchy FOODS.
Laxative medicines never cure indiges-
tion because they have no digestive effect
whatever upon the food; on the other hand
IL the food is properly digested there will
be no need of laxatives: good digestion
does away with constipation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain pure
aseptic pepsn government test diastase
and the digestive elements which weak
stomachs lack and they cure indigestio BY
assisting the overworked. rundown stomach
in its hard work, until it is restored to Its
normal condition, when the tablets are no
longer needed, but there are thousands of
robust men and women who never eat a
meal without taking one or two of Stuart's
Tablets. because by so doing they can eat
what they please and when they please, and
be free from any bad after effects.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere in the United States,
Canada. and Great Britain.
