THEORIES ABOUT FOoD.
Also Few Facts on the Same SUBJ
iect

We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienlc living about
vegetarianism and many other fads
along the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
large cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee Is served and the food crank is
In his glory. and arguments and the
ories galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score years i'm robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws OF
health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about she
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in mat
ters of diet and a mixed diet of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
AS compared with grains and vege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form and
is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons. people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of it. If
the digestion is too feeble at first it
may be easily corrected by the regular
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. Two of these excellent
dinner &
several thousand grains of meat. eggs
or other animal food in three hours,
and no matter how weak the stomach
may be, no trouble will be experienced
IL regular practice is made of using
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets because
they supply the pepsn and diastase
necessary to perfect digestion, and ev-
cry form of indigestion will be over
come by their use.
That large class of people who come
under the head OF nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
it's proper digestion, by the daily use
of a safe, harmless digestive medicine
like Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets COM
posed of the natural digestive princi-
pies, pepsin. diastase fruit acids. and
salts. which actually perform the work
of digestion. Cheap ca:hartic medi-
cines. masquerading under the name OF
dyspepsia cures are useless for indi-
gestion as they have absolutely no ef-
feet upon the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all it's many forms is
simply Il failure of the stomach to d.
gest food and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use at meal time of a
&,
Tablets. which is endorsed by the med
lcal profession and known to contain
active digestive principles
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at soc. for full treatment
