THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
he Cured Himself OF Serious Stomach
Trouble Down 20 First Principles.

trouble Down TO First Principles
A man Of large affairs in one Of our
prominent eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exercise
gan to pay natures tax. levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble; the
failure OF his digestion brought about q
nervous irrisabiiity making it impossible
to apply himself to his daily business
and finally deranging the kidneys and
heart.
In his own words he says: II con-
suited one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my
case, but ali the same they each failed
TO bring about the return Of my former
digestion, appetite ana vlgOr- FOR TWO
years went from pillar to post. from
one sanitarium to another, 7 gave up
smoking. i quit coffee and even re-
nounced my daily glass or two OF beer,
but without sny. marked Improvement.
Friends had often advised me to try
a we'll known proprietary medicine.
Stuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets. and had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments OF the remedy but never took any
stock IN ADVERTISED medicines nor could
believe a ffty-cent patent medicine
would touch my case
ITO make a long story short I finally
bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and occa-
aionaIy tablet between meals when
7 felt any feeling of nausea or discom-
Tort.
Il was surprised at the end of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general health
and before the two packages were gone
4 was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was going to cure completely,
and they did not disappoint me ! can
eat ana sleep and enjoy my coffee and
cigar. and no one would suppose had
ever known the horrors OF dyspepsia
''Out of friendly curiosity wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking
Tor Information as TO what the tablets
contained. and they replied that the
principal ingredients were aseptsc pep
sin Government test). malt diastase and
other natural digestives, which digest
food regardless OF the condition Of the
stomach
The root Of the matter is this. the d.
gestfve elements contained in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food,
give the Dverwprlced stomach n chance
TO recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the nourishment which
can only come from food; stimulants
strength they give a fictitious strength
invariably followed by reaction. Every
drop Of blood, every nerve and tissue
IS manufactured from our daily food.
and II you can insure its prompt action
and complete digestion by the regular
use OF SO good and wholesome a remedy
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. you will
have no need OF nerve tonics and sani-
tariums
Although stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only a few
years yet probably every druggist in
the United States Canada and Great
Britain now sells them and consider
them the most popular and successful
or any preparation for stomach troubles
