falling specific in all cases of dyspepsia and disordered digestion.
 Almost everybody's digestion Is. disor- dered more or less. and the commonest thing they do for it is to take some one of the many so-called blood purifiers. which in many cases arc merely strong cathartics. Such things are not needed, If the organs are in a clogged condition, they need only d little help and they will right themselves. Cathartics irritate the sensitive Things of the stomach and bow els and often do more harm than good.
 Purging is not what is needed. The thing to do is to put the food in condi- tion to be readily dlgested and assiTl- Hated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly. They partly digest what is eatenYand give the stomach just the help it needs. They stimulate the secre- ton and excretion of the digestive fluids and relieve the congested condition of the glands and membranes. They put the whole digestive system in condition to do its work. When that is done you need take no more tablets. unless you eat what does not agree with you. Then take one or two tablets-give them needed help and you will have no trouble.
 It's common sense medicine and a common sense treatment, and it will cure every time. Not only cure the disease put cure tue ChuSEs hQcS hDOuL ll III q perfectly sensible and scientific way
