Only a Suggestion.
BUT TT HAS PROVEN OF INTEREST AND
VALUE TO THOUSANDS

Common sense would suggest that If one wishes
TO become feshy and plump it can only result from
the food we eat and digest and that food should
be albuininous or flesh forming food like eggs,
beefsteak and cereals, in other words the kinds of
food that mako flesh are the foods which form the
greater part Of our daily bills Of fare.
But the trouble Is that while we eat enough and
generally too much, the stomach, from abuse and
overwork, does not properly digest and assimilate
it. which is the reason SO many people remain thin
and under weight; the digestive organs do not COM
pletely digest the feshforIning beefsteak and eggs
and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands Of such who are really con-
frmed dyspeptics, although they may have 10 par
ticular pain Inconvenience from their stomachs.
II such persons would lay their prejudices aside
and make a regular practice of taking after each
meal one or two of Stuart.s Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly digested be-
cause these tablets contain the natural peptones
and diastase which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach is soon enabled
to regain its natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form Of
fesh-forming food, meat, eggs, bread and potatoes
and this is the reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspeptic men
women and children.
Invalids and children, even the most delicate
use them with marked benefit as they contain no
