THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just n. Easy to Fora. ~ Any Other.


We do not deliberately form our pet
habits but they are unconsciously ac-
uuired and grow as we grow and by
the time we learn they are hurting us,
we find them too strong to be easily
broken.
Then why not form a good habit a
habit which will counteract the many bad
ones, in other words contract the unfash-
ionable habit of being always well.
The best health habit to get into is to
have and keep a vigorous stomach: II YOU
have a healthy digestion you can drink
your beloved coffee. smoke your favorite
brand Of tobacco. with little or no harm
the mischief begins when these things are
forced upon the faithful stomach, with
out any assistance
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which Will relieve the stomach of so
much extra work.
Nature furnishes us with such dges-
tiveS and when they are combined in such
a pleasant preparation as Stuart'S Dys-
pepsia Tablets. they give the overworked
stomach Just the necessary assistance to
secure perfect digestion without any of
the harmful effects of cathartics and
similar drugs
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals is as necessary to the
weak stomach as food itself, and indeed
to get the benefit from food eaten. moth
ing better and certainly nothing safer
can be used
Many families consider stuart's T..blets
as essential in the house as knives and
forks.
They consist entirely of natural diges-
tive principles without the effect or char
acteristics of drugs: they have no ca
thartic action. but simply go to work on
the food eaten and digest it,,
Take into account your bad habits and
the expense they entail and then invest
80 cents in a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and see if your digestion for the
next month is not vastly improved
Ask the clerk in any drug store the
name of the most successful and popular
stomach remedy, and he will say Stuarts
