AN EASY WAY
To Keen We'll.

If Is easy to keep well if we would only observe each day few simple rules of health.
 The all important thing is to keep the stomach right and to do this 1t is not necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill of fare. Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetite and feel ing that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided.
 Prof. Weichold gives pretty good ad- vice on this subject. He says: "I am 6S years old and have never had a serious illness and at the same time my life has been largely an indoor one but early discovered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran crackers, or dieting of any sort; on the contrary I always eat what my appetite craves, but daily for the past eight years I have made it a practice to tako one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Table cs after each meal and I attribute my robust health for a man of my age to the regular daily use of Stuarts Tab lets.
 My physician first advised me to use them because he said they were perfect ly harmless and were not secret pat ent medicine, but contained only the nat ural digestives, peptones and diatase, and after using them a few weeks I have never ceased to thank him for his ad- vice.
 '1 honestly believe the habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is the real health habit, because their use brings health to the sick and ailing and preserves health to the well and strong"
 Men and women past 50 years of age need a safe digestive after meals to in- sure perfect digestion and to ward off disease, and the safest best known and most widely used is Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
 They are found in every well regulated household from Maine to California and in Great Britain and Australia are rap- idly pushing their way into popular favor.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, full sized packages at 50 cents, and for weak stomach a 50-cent pack age will often do fifty dollars worth of good
