HOW TO DRINK MILK.

Nhy 1t Disaarees With Some People.
When one needs reviving stimulant
after exhaustion nothing can rival the
affects of hot milk slipped slowly.
Some people say they can not digest
milk and these are the people who drink
It down quickly, so that the digestive
! acids, in playing around it, form large
rureis which give trouble before they
J ran be. absorbed.
The right way is to sip the milk IN
small amounts, so that each meuthful,
rs it descends into the stomach. is sur
rounded by the gastric fluid. and when
Nhe whole glassful is down the effect is
that of spongy mass of curds, in and
out of which the keen gastric juices
course. speedily doing their work of
turning the curd into peptones that the
tissues can take up.
To make sure of complete digestion
take one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets afterwards, as the pepsin and
iiastase they contain increase the
quantity and efficiency of the gastric
Juices and supply the natural dlgesuVe
terments which all weak stomachs lack.
Miss Anna Folger. professional
rurse, speaking of the value OF Stuart $
Tablets IN CONFERENCE.-The, says.
adult patients recovering from severe
Illness, and especially in children where
milk lisagrees, one or two tablets over
rome any difficulty and seem TO
strengthen the stomach in remarkably
short time / myself have used them
daily for years, when my own digestion
mas suffered from the Irregularities and
loss OF sleep consequent upon my occu-
patton.
s.Not only children and invalids. but
professional people and others whose
meals are necessarily hurried or irregu-
lar. will find Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
81 the greatest value in keeping up the
tone and digestive vigor of the stom-
ech.'
They contain the active digestive FER
r,erts the lack of which is really the
only cause of indigestion and stomach
troubles. and the regular daily use OIL
them after. meals will probably cure any
rase of stomach trouble except such as
arise from cancer or liberation.
