CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant. Simple. But Safe and
EffectuaI Cure For It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bIoat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing headaches, tickle appetite
nervousness and general played-Out,
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show a Shiny, inf1amed condition.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatmens
which causes the food to be readily.
thoroughly digested before it has time
| to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
Esecure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thine to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
/ oeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson. the
safest and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aspetic Pepsin, little Nux, Gold
en- Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
/ Tablets and not being patent medicine
can be used with perfect safety and
assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their reg
ular use after meals.
Mr. r. S. Workman. Chicago, Ill,
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from a neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane of
the nose becomes inf1amed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach this producing catarrh of the
stomach Medical authorities pre-
scrfbed for me for three years for ca
tarrh of the stomach without cure, but
today l am the happiest of men after
Eusing only one box of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. I can not find appro-
pirate words to express my good feeling
4 I have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their USE"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as we'll as the
simplest and most convenient remedy
for any form of indigestion, catarrh OF
the stomach, biliousness, sour stomach
heart burn and bloating after meals.
