Whether we indorse priZe-f1ghting or
not, it is nevertheless interesting to
know the manner by which men arrive
at such physical perfection.
James Jeffries, the present champion
heavyweight of the world and his gal
liant opponent, Tom SNarkey, in the
greatest pugilistic encounter that has
ever taken places both pursued much
the same course of training, and the first
and most important part of this training
was to get the stomach in condition
and 10 keep the digestion absolutely
perfect. so that very muscle and nerve
would be at it's high capabilities
This was OF done by q secret patent
medicine, but both of these great pugi-
lists used we'll known natural digestive
tablet sold by druggists under the name
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and COM
posed of the digestive ferments which
every stomach requires for healthy di-
gestion.
Champion Jeffries says: "Stuart's Dy-
spepsia Tablet prevent acidity, strength
en- the stomach and insure perfect diges-
ton. They keep man in fine physical
condition" Signed, James j. Jeffries
champion of the world.
The gallant fighter, Sharkey, says:
"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets remove all
discomfort after eating. They rest the
stomach and restore it to a healthful
condition. I heartily recommend them. "
Signed, Thomas j. Sharkey.
The advantage of the daily use OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is that they
keep people well and ward of sickness
and are equally valuable to well persons
as to the dyspeptics. Another advantage
is that these tablets contain no cathar-
tics or poisons of any character, but
simply digestive ferments which are
found in every healthful stomach, anC
when digestion is imperfect it is because
the stomach lacks some Gf these ele-

They are no cheap cathartic. bat &

and the demand for them is greater thar
the sale of all other so-called dyspepsia
cures combined. No remedy could pcs
sibly reach such place in public esteem
except as a result of positive merit.
Full sized packages are sold by al
druggists at so cents, and the best habit
you can possibly form is to take a Stuart
