THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying
 Good Medicine.


 Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi- gestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being hum- bugged, especially in medicines.
 The fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, In fact, that many people suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a prepartion so reliable and universally used as Stuarts Dyspep- sia Tablets.
 Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important re- spect from ordinary proprietary medi- cines for the reason that they are not secret patent medicine. no secret Is made of their ingredients, although they are sold by all druggists under protection or trademark, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal. bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten thor oughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief This Is the only secret of their success.
 Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach trou- bles because they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble Is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food That is all there is to it. Food not digested or half diges- ted is poison, as 1t creates gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
