NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A CURE FOR 1T.
Not Patent Curc-alI, Nor Modern
Miracle, but simply national
a euro for Oyspe pstA.

Not . Patent Cure all, Nor a Modern
Miracle, but simply u national
cure for Dyspepsia.
In these days Of humbuggery and de-
ception the manufacturers of patent
medicines, as u rule, seem to think their
medicines will not sell unless they claim
that they will cure every disease under
the sun. And they never think OF leav
ing out dyspepsia and stomach troubles
they are sure to claim that their nos
trum is absolutely certain TO cure every
dyspeptic and he need look no further.
In the face OF these absurd claims it
is refreshing to note that the proprietoIs
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
carefully refrained from making any
undue claims or false representations
regarding the merits of this most excel
lent remedy for dyspepsia and stomach
troubles. They make but one claim for
it, and that is that for indigestion and
various stomach troubles Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets are a radical cure. They
go no farther than this and any man or
woman suffering from indigestion,
chronic or nervous dyspepsia, who will
give the remedy trial, Will find that
nothing is claimed for II that the facts
viii not fully sustain.
1t is a modern discovery, composed
of harmless vegetable ingredients ac-
ceptable to the weakest or most deli
cate stomach. Its great success in cur
ing stomach troubles is due to the fact
that the medical properties are such
that it will digest whatever wholesome
food is taken into the stomach, no mat
ter whether the stomach Is in good
working order or not. 1t rests the over
worked organ and replenlshes the body,
the blood. the nerves. creating healthy
appetite, gives refreshing sleep and the
blessings which always accompany a
good digestion and proper assimilation
of food
In using stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
no dieting is required. Simply eat plen-
ty of wholesome food and take these
tablets at each meal, thus assisting
and resting the stomach, which rapidly
regains its proper digestive power
when the tablets Will be no longer re-
quired.
Nervous dyspepsia is simply a condi-
tion in which some portion or portions
of the nervous system are not properly
rourished. Coed digestion nvigorates
the nervous system and every organ In
the body
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by all druggists at 40 cents per package
They are manufactured by the T. a.
Stuart Company. of Marshall, Mich.
Any druggist will tell you 1t gives
