Look at Mr. Newman and you would

what Thin People Need to Hound o.
the Corners.

what Thin People Need to Round on
the Corners
What thin folks need IS flesh or muscle.
not fat
To be symmetrical and properly pro-
portoned every person should have a GER
tain amount of excess flesh, but to be
plump does not necessarily mean TO be
fat
Fat is undesirable; It clogs and retards
the action Of the muscles fnterferes with
the healthy action of the heart and lungs
and when very excessive. predisposes to
fatty degeneration of vital organs, to say
nothing of the discomfort resulting from
too much ad.Dose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that If
one wishes to become heshy and plump
the thing most needed would be flesh
forming food; that IS, albuminous foods
like eggs, beef, oatmeal, etc.
The kinds Of food which make flesh are
the foods we have on our tables every
Gay. but the trouble is that our stom-
achs. from weakness or arrangement Of
some kind do not promptly and properly
digest it
Really, the principal reason so many
people remain thin is because their stom-
aches do not properly and completely d.
gest and asslmilate the flesh forming
beefsteak and eggs we eat every day.
There are thousands Of such people. and
they are really dyspepucs although they
may not suffer any particular pain or in
convenience from their stomachs.
If such persons and all thin people
would take after their meals some simple
and natural digestive Ike Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, the food would be quickly
digested and the proper degree Of plump
ness very soon result because these tab
lets are prepared exactly for that pur-
pose. They digest every variety Of flesh
forming food, which is the real reason
why they so quickly build up ard
strengthen thin, dyspepuc men and
women
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure every
form Of Indigestion on this common sense
plan, that they thoroughly digest the food
promptly, giving strength to every nerve
and organ in the body, and the weakeneI
stomach a chance to rest and recover its
natural vigor. Nothing further IS re-
quired to cure any stomach trouble, ex-
capt cancer Of the stomach. They make
thin, dyspeDtc people strong. plump and
well
This excellent preparation Is sold 20
