STRANGER THAN FICTION
A Remedy Which Has RevoIutIonIzed the
Treatment of Stomach TroubIes.

Treatment of Stomach TroubIes,
The remedy is not heraIded as a
wonderful discovery nor vet a secret
patent medicine, neither is il claimed
to cure anything except dyspepsia.
indigestion and stomach troubles.
with which nine out of 10 suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleas
ant tasting tablets or lozenges, con
tanning vegetable and fruit essences.
pure asepuc pepsin government
tesD, golden seal and diastase. The
tablets are sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. Many interesting experiments
to test the digestive power of Stu
arts tablets show that one grain of
the active principle contained in them
is sufficient to thoroughly digest 5000
grains of raw meat, eggs and other
wholesome food.
Stuart's tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and
cheap cathartics,. which simply irri-
tate and intiame the intestines with
out having any effect whatever in di-
gesting food or curing Indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and
assisted in the work of digestion il

or, as no organ is so much abused and
Overworked as the stomach.
This is the secret. if there is any
secret, of the remarkable success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, Il remedy
practically unknown a few years ago
and now the most widely known of
any treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon its merits as a digestive
pure and simple, because there can be
no stomach trouble if the food is
promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten, digesting ii
completely. so that it can he assim-
Hated into blood. nerve and tissue.
They cure dyspepsia, water brash,
sour stomach, gas and bloating after
meals, because they furnish the di-
geStive power which weak stomachs
lack. and unless that lack is supplied
it is useless to attempt to cure by
the use of ''tonics," pills" and ca
thartics which have absolutely no
digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores, and the reg
ular use of one or two of them after
meals will demonstrate their merit
better than any other argument.

1t was founded in 1886 by Esnambac

properly speaking, but the roadstead is
Well protected by the island itself ex-
cept on the west and southwest. The
country around is very populous. as is
in fact the whole island, on some part
of which there are more people to the

Mont Pelee, though generally quies-
cent. was in a state of eruption in the
year 1851. when much damage was
done. The whole island is covered with
mountains set with numerous cones all

the great masses of scoria and lava
intervening between them and COM
