NO FAITH CURE
About Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indigestion Anyway Whether
You Have Faith in Them or Not.

All physicians agree that the element oi
| faith has a great deal to do in the cure OF
| disease.
! Firm belief and confidence in a family
| physician or the same confidence and
| faith in a patent medicine have produced
! remarkable cures in all ages.
! This is especially true in nervous trou-
| bles, and no field offers so prolific har-
vest for the quack and charlatan as the
| diseases arising from a weak or run-d down
| nervous system.
Nevertheless. the most common o: all
diseases, Indigestion and stomach trou-
| bles, which in turn cause nervous Jis-
eases. heart troubles, consumption, and
loss of flesh. require something besides
faith to cure.
Mere faith viii, not digest your food for
you, will not give you an appetite. will
not increase your flesh, and strenathcn
your nerves and heart, but Stuart's nye
pepsja Tablets will do these things be-
cause they are composed of the elements
of digestion; they contain the juices.
acids. and peptones necessary to the di-
gestion and assimilation of all wholesome
food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food if placed in jar or bottle in water
heated to 9S degrees. and they will do it
much more effectively when taken into
the stomach after meals. whether you
have faith that they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach. make pure
blood and strong nerves in the only way
that nature can do it. and that is from
plenty of wholesome food. well digested.
1t Is not what we eat, but what we digest
that does us good.

ARE YOU THIN?
Do You Want to Become Fleshy?
A FEW SIMPLE RULES.
Flesh, Not Fat, Is What Is Needed.

What thin people want is flesh. and not
fat. To be symmetrical and properly pro-
portioned every person should have GER
tain amount OF flesh. To be plump does
not necessarily mean to be fat. Fat is un-
desirable; it clogs and retards the action
of every muscle, interferes with the heal
thy action of the heart and lungs. and
when excessive predisposes to fatty de-
generation of vital organs. to say nothing
of the discomfort, more or less, resulting
from excessive adiposc tissue.
Common sense would suggest that II ono
wishes to become fleshy and plump. the
thing most needed would be iesh-forming
foods; in other words. albuminous foods,
like eggs, beef, oatmeal, etc. The kinds of
food that make flesh are the foods that
form the greater part of our daily bill OF
fare.
Now the only reason so many people re-
main thin IS because their stomachs do
not properly and completely digest and
assimiIate the fiesh-forming beefsteak
and eggs we eat every day.
There are thousands of such people,
and they are really dyspeptic, although
they may not suffer any particular pain
or inconvenience from their stomachs. IL
such persons would take, with their
meals, some preparation like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. the food would be
quickly digestcd. and the proper degree
Of plumpness very soon secured. be-
cause these tablets are prepared exactly
for that purpose. They will digest every
variety of fcsh-forming food, which is
the sole reason why they so quickly build
up and strengthen thin, dyspeptic men
and women.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dys-
pepsia and every form of Indigestion on
this common sense plan. that they di-
gest the food promptly. giving strength
to every nerve and organ of the body.
while at the same time the stomach has
a chance to rest and recover its natural
yigor. Nothing further is required to
cure any stomach trouble. or to make
thin. dyspeptic people strong, plump and

ONLY ONE WAY
To Purify the Blood, Increase Flesh and
Strength and to Cure Indigestion.
Secret Patent Medicines Will Not Do It.
There Is a Simpler and Better Way.

There Is Simpler and Better Way.
There is only one way to purify the
blood only one way TO increase flesh
and that is through the stomach and di
gsstive organs. Why? Because the stom
ach and digestive organs make blood and
flesh, bone nerves. and sinew. Did you
ever see person blessed with a healthy,
vigorous stomach and digestion who had
impure blood. muddy, sallow complexion,
or who had weak nerves, sleeDlcss nights.
and the thousand and one pains and aches
arising from poor digestion? No, because
perfect digestion converts the food eaten
into pure blood. strong nerves. and
muscles. and all the flesh a person needs
to have FOR health, symmetry. and beauty
Every person knows whether or not his
or her digestion is what il should be. but
every person does not know what is the
safest and best way to secure and pre-
serve a healthy condition of the digestive
organs 1t is not done by the use of any
wonderful secret patent medicine. but by
the use of certain harmless digestive
principles. which. taken at meals, viii di-
gest the food anyway, regardless OF the
weak condition of the stomach.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use

Common soda is all right in its place,
and indispensable In the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it was
never intended for a medicine. and peo-
pie who use it as such will some day re-
gret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands OF people practice
almost daily, and one which is fraught
with danger: moreover. the soda only
gives temporary relief and in the end the
stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irritant
to the walls OF the stomach and bowels,
and cases are on record where 1t ac-
cumulated in the intestines. causing death
by Inflammation or peritonitis.
DR.. Harlanson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach .tacid
dyspepsia) an excellent preparation sold
by druggists under the name of Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are
large. twentygrain lozenges. very pleas
ant to taste. and contain the natural
acids, peptones and digestive elements es-
sential to good digestion. and when taken
after meals they digest the food perfect
ly and promptly before it has had time

and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements. and finds
them a certain cure, not only for sour
stomach. but, by promptly digesting the
food. they create a healthy appetite, in

thartic. but intended only for stomach

OF eighty bales Of tobacco from the Phil

They were so held till the expiration of
the bond under which the whole consign-
