\ COMMON TROUBLE.
Thousands Suffer From 1t without Know
ing Its Real Character.

No trouble is more common OIL
more misunderstood than nervous
dyspepsia. People having il think
that their nerves are to blame. are
surprised that they are not cured by
nerve medicines and spring remedies;
the real seat of the mischief is lost
sight of: the stomach is the organ
TO be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever i'm the stom-
ach. nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness.
Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not
in the stomach so much as i'm nearly
every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others. the kidneys are affected: in
others. the bowels are troubled, with
loss of flesh and appetite. with the
accumulation of gas, sour riSings
and heartburn.
Mr.. \. w. Sharper of No. 81 Pros
pect street. indianapolis. Ind. writes
as follows: "A motive of pure graft
tude prompts me to write these few
lines regarding the new and valuable
medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
l have been a sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years:
have used various patent medicines
and other remedies without any fav-
orable result. They sometimes give
temporary relief until the effects of
the medicine wore off. ] attributed
this to my sedentary habits, being n
bookkeeper with little physical eN-
ercise. but | am glad to state that
the tablets have overcome all these
obstacles, for l have gained in flesh,
sleep better and am better in every
way. The above is written not for
notoriety. but is based on actual
facts" Respectfully yours,
\. w. Sharper,
81 Prospect ST., indianapolis, Ind.
1t is safe TO say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach
weakness or disease except cancer of
the stomach, gas, loss of flesh and APP
petite, sleeplessness. palpitation.
heartburn, constipation and head
aches.
