The HEALTH HABIT.
just - Easy to Form AZ Any 9th

just ~ Easy to Form ~ Any Other.
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits. but they are unconsctously ac-
quired. 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 good habit, u
habit which will counterfeit the many
bad ones, in other words, contracs the
questionable habit Of being always
well.
The bert health habit to get into is to
have and keep q vigorous stomach; If
you have q 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 faith
full stomach, without any assistance.
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efiiciet digestive
which will relieve the stomach Of so
much extra work.
Nature furnishes us with such diges-
tives and when they are combined in
such a pleasant preparation as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets they give the over
worked stomach just the necessary as
sistance to secure perfect digestion
without any harmful effects of cathar-
tics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuarts Dyspep-
sia Tablets after meals is as necessary
to the weak stomach as food itself and
indeed to get the benefit from food eat
en-. nothing better and certainly nothing
safer can be used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tab
let's as essential In the house as knives
and forks.
They consist entirely of natural di-
gestive principles without the effect OF
characteristics OF drugs; they have nc
cathartic action, but simply go to work
on the food eaten and digest ii.
Take into account your bad habits
and the expense they entail and Their
invest 80 cents in box of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and seesif your digestion
for the next month is not vastly i'm
proved.
Ask the clerk in any drug store the
name of the most successful and popu-
lar stomach remedy and he will say
