n TEST EXPERIMENT
Peculiar Power Possessed by New
Medicine.

OF new discoveries there is no end,
but one of the most recent most re-
markable and one which will prove in
valuable to. thousands of people, is a
discovery which II is believed will take
the place of all other remedies for the
cure of those common and obstinate dis
eases, dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
This discovery Is not a loudly adver-
tised secret patent medicine, but is
scientific combination of wholesome,
perfectly harmless vegetable essences,
fruit, salts, pure pepsin and bismuth.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-02-07

| These remedies are combined in loz-
enge form, pleasant to take, and will
preserve their good qualities ndef-
nitely, whereas all liduid medicines
rapidly lose whatever good qualities
| they may have had as soon as un-
| corked and exposed to the air.
| This preparation is called Stuarts
| Dyspepsia Tablets and ii is claimed
| that one of these tablets or lozenges
| VIII digest from 800 to 1900 times its
| own weight +of meat, eggs and other
wholesome food. And this claim has
| been proven by actual experiments in
the Following manner: A hard boiled
egg cut into small pieces was placed in
II bottle containing warm water heated
to ninety-eight degrees Cor blood heaD,
one of these Tablets was then placed in
the bottle and the proper temperature
maintained for three hours and half,
at the end of which time the egg was as
completely digested as it would have
been in healthy stomach. This eX-
pertinent was undertaken to demon
strate that what it would do in the
bottle it would also do in the stomach.
hence its unqueStionable value in the
cure of dyspepsia and weak digestion.
Very few people are free from some
form of Indigestion, but scarcely two
Will have the same symptoms. Some
Will suffer most from distress after
eating, bloating from gas in the stom-
ach and bowels. others have acid dys-
pepsia or heartburn, others palpitaton
or headaches, sleepessness, pains in
chest and under shoulder blades, en-
treme nervousness as in nervous dys-
pepsia, but they all have same cause,
failure to properly digest what is eaten.
The stomach must have rest and assist
ance, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Ia blets
give it both. by digesting the food for
it and in a short time it is restored to
its normal action and vigor. At same
time the Tablets are so harmless that
Il child can take them with benefit.
This new preparation has already made
many astonishing cures, as for instance,
the following:
After using only one package of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets l have received
such great and unexpected benefit that

In fact, it has been six months since
