WHAT SHALL WE EAT
To Keep Healthy and strong.

a healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in matters
of diet, and a mixed diet Of grains. fruits,
and meats is undoubtedly the beet, in
spite of the claims made by vegetarians
and food rianks generally.
As compared with grains and yegcta-
bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment
in g highly concentrated form, and is
digested and assimilated more quickly
than vegetables or grains.
DR.. julius Remusson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run down
in health and of low vitality, SHOULD eat
plenty of meat II the digestion is too
feeble at first il may be easily strength
eHed by the regular use of SJuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal. Two Of
these excellent tablets taken after dinner
will digest several thousand grains OF
meat. eggs, or other animal food in three
or four hours. while the malt diastase
also contained in Stuarts Tablets cause
the perfect digestion of starchy foods,
like potatoes, bread, etc. and no matter
how weak the stomach may be, no trouble
viii be experienced if "A regular practice
is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. because they supply the pepsin and
diastase so necessary to perfect diges-
ton, and any form of Indigestion and
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach Will be overcome by their daily
use.
That large class of people who come
under the head OF nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and ensure its
complete digestion by the systema ic use
of q safe. harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. composed of
the natural digestive principles, peptones
and diastase which actually perform the
work of digestion and give the abused
stomach a chance to rest and TO furnish
the body and brain with the necessary
nutriment. Cheap cathartic medicines
masquerading under the name of dyspep-
STA cures are useless for relief or cure
of Indigestion, because they have abso
lutely no effect upon the actual digestion
of food
Dyspepsia in all its forms Is simply
failure of the stomach to digest food, and
the sensible way to solve the riddle and
cure the Indigestion is to make daily use
at meal time of a safe preparation which
is endorsed by the medical profession and
known to contain active digestive prin-
ciples, and all this can truly be said of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
All druggists throughout the United
States, Canada, and Great Britain sell
them at the uniform price of fifty cents
for full treatment.
