WHAT 1T MEANS TO YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance OF
Good Digestion Until 1t Is Lost.


Good Digestion Until 1t Is Lost.
Many people suffer from dyspepsia
and do not know it. They feel mean,
cut of sorts, peevish, do not sleep Wen,
do not have a good, keen appetite, 40
not have the inclination and energy Tor
physical or mental work they once haa'
but at the same time do not feel any
particular pain or distress in the stom-
Ach, Yet all this is the result OF poor
digestion. an insidious form OF dys-
pepsia which can only be cured by
remedy specially intended to cure IL
md make the digestive organs act
naturally and properly digest the food
eaten. Bitters, after dinner pills ana
nerve tonics will never help the trou-
bic; they don't reach 1t. The new
medical discovery does. 1t is called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and Is
specific for dyspepsia and indigestion.
1t cures because it thoroughly digests
all wholesome food taken into the stoil-
ach. whether the stomach is in good
working order or not.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by digest
ing the food, instead of making the
worn out stomach do all the work, gives
1t a much needed rest and cure OF
dyspepsia is the natural result.
When YOU are nervous, run down and
sleepless, don't make the common mis-.
take of surprising your nervous system
needs treatment and fill your stomach
with powerful nerve tonics which make
you feel good for a little while only to
fall back farther than ever.
Your nerves are all right, but they
are starved; they want food.
Nourish them with wholesome, every
cav food and plenty of it, we'll digested.
and YOU can laugh at nerve tonics and
medicine.
But the nerves will not be nourished
from a weak, abused stomach, but when
the digestion has been made perfect by
the use of this remedy all nervous
symptoms disappear.
Who ever heard of a man or woman
blessed with vigorous digestion and
good appetite being troubled with their
nerves?
Good digestion means strong nerv-
Gus system. abundance of energy and
capacity to enjoy the good things of
life.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will GER
tainly set your stomach and digestive
organs right they can't help but do
it, because they nourish the body by
digesiing the food eaten, and rest the
stomach.
You get nourishment and rest at one
and the same time, and that is all the
worn out dyspeptfc needs to build him
up and give new life to every organ and
an added zest to every pleasure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are god

with weak stonaachs, weak nerves and
Justly merits the claim of being one of
ihe most worthy medical discoveries of
