AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.

1t is easy to keep we'll if we would
only observe each day few simple
rules of health.
The all important thing is to keep
the stomach right and to do this it is
not necessary to diet or to follow a
set rule or bill of fare. Such pam
pering simply makes a capricious aP-
petite and feeling that certain fav-
orite articles of food must be avoided.
Prof Wiechold gives pretty good
advice on this subject; he says: 81
am 6S wears old and have never had a
serious illness, and at the same time
my life has been largely an indoor
one, but l early discovered that the
way to keep healthy was to keep a
healthy stomach. not by eating bran
crackers or dieting of any sort; on the
contrary | always eat what my appe-
tite Graves, but for the past eight
years l have made it a daily practice
to take one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal and l
attribute my robust health for a man
of my age to the regular daily use of
Stuart's Tablets.
"My physician first advised me to
use them because he said they were
perfectly harmless and were not a Sc
cret patent medicine, but contained
only the natural digestives. peptones
and diastase, and after using them a
few weeks 1 have never ceased to
thank him for his advice.
81 honestly believe the habit OF
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after meals is the real health habit,
because their use brings health to the
sick and ailing and preserves health
to the well and strong"
Men and women past 30 years OF
age need safe digestive after meals
to insure a perfect digestion and to
| ward off disease, and the safest, best
known and most widely used is Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are found in every well regC-
lated household from Maine to Cali
fornia and in Great Britain and Aus.
tralia are rapidly pushing their way
into popular favor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep'
STA Ia blets, full sized packages at sc
cents and for weak stomach a so
cent package will do $50 worth Of
| good.
