What Thin People Need to Round on
the Corners.


the Corners.
What thin folks need is flesh or mus
| Gle. net fat. .
To be symmetrical and properly proper
| toned every person should have a certain
amount of excess flesh. but to be plump
| does not necessarily mean to be fat.
Fat is undesirable; ii clogs and retards
the action of the muscles, interferes 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 adipose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that il one
wishes to become fieshy 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
day; 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-
achs do not properly and completely di-
gcst and assimilate the fesh-forming
| beefsteak and eggs we eat every day.
| There are thousands of such people, and
they are really dyspeptics, although they
| may not suffer any particular pain or in
convenience from their stomacbs.
| If such persons and all thin people
| would take after their meals some simple
and natural digestive. like Stuarts Dys-
! pepsia Tablets. the food would be quickly
digested and the proper degree of plump
| ness very soon result because these tab
let's 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 and
strengthen thin, dyspeptic 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 weakened
stomach a chance to rest and recover its
natural vigor. Nothing further is re-
| quired to cure any stomach trouble. ex-
cept cancer of the stomach. They make
thin, dyspeptic people strong, plump, and
we'll.
This excellent preparation is sold so
cents for full sized treatment by all drug
gists in United States, Canada, and Great
Britain.

When young man and young woman
