A COMMON TROUBLE.
Thousands suffer from it Without
Knowing its Real Character.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it 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 in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms OF
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irrcG-
ular; in others, the kidneys are affected;
in others, the bowels are troubled, with
loss of flesh and appetite. with the &C
emulation of gas, sour risings and
heartburn.
Mr.. W. A. Sharper of No. CT Prospect
ST., indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"a motive of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the
new ard valuable medicine, Stuart's Dy-
spepsia Tablets. / have been a sufferer
from nervous dyspepsia for the last four
years have used various patent medi-
cines and other remedies without any
favorably results. They sometimes gave
temporary relief until the effects of the
medicine wore off. / attributed this to
my sedentary habits, being book-keeper
with little physical exercise, but l am
glad to state that the tablets have over
come all these obstacles, for l have gain
ed in flesh, sleep better and am better in
