BRAIN FOOD
Is 0; Little Benefit Unless It is Diqcsted.

Nearly everyone will admit that rs 4
nation we eat too much meat and too
little Of vegetables and the grains.
For business men. office men and
clerks. and in fact everyone engaged
in scdentary or indoor occupations.
grains. milk and vegetables are much
more healthful.
Only men engaged in severe out
door manual labor can live on a heavy
meat diet and continue in health.
AS n general rule. meat once Il day
is sufficient for all classes of men. wo-
men and children. and grains. fruits
and vegetables should constitute the
bulk of food aten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion and it
is Of no use to advise brain workers to
eat largely of grains and vegetables
where the digestion is too weak to as
simulate them properly.
1t is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
after meals to assist the relaxed di
G"stivc organs. and several years cX-
pcricnce have proven Stuart'S DyS-
pcpsia Tablets to be a very safe,
pleasan. and effective digestive and 4
remedy which may be taken daily
with the best results.
..tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
hardly be called a patent medicine, as
they do not act on the bowels nor any
particular organ but only on the food
eaten. They supply what weak stom-
acbs lack. pcpsin diastase and by slim
ulating the gastric glands increase
the natural secretion Of hydT0ciloric
acid.
People who make n daily ractica Of
taking one or two Of Stuayts DyS-
pcpsia Tablets after each meal are
sure to have perfect digestion which
means perfect health.
There is no danger OF forming On in
iu'inus habit as tic tablets contain
absolutely nothing but natural di-
gestires: coc2ine. morphine and sim
liar drugs have no place in 4 stomach
medicine and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are certainly TIE best known and
most popular of all stomach remedies.
Ask your druggist for fifty cent
package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's and after weeks use note the
Improvement in health. appetite ard

ECZEMAS
ITOH IS TORTURE:

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
famnation little pustular eruptions form
ard discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
hulnor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on FIRE. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.
