served in its stead.

There Is Simpler and Better Way.
There is only one way to purify the
blood only one way to increase flesh,
ard that is through the stomach and di-
gestive organs. Why? Because the stom-
ach and digestive organs make blood and
flesh, bone. nerves. and sinew. Did YOU
ever see Il person blessed with healthy,
vigorous stomach and digestion who had
impure blood, muddy, Sallow complexion,
or who had weak nerves, sleepless nights
and the thousand and one pains and aches
arising from poor digestion? No, because
perfect digestion converts the food eaten
into pure blood, strong nerves, and mus
clss. and all the flesh Il person needs to
have for health. symmetry, and beauty

the use of certain harmless digestive
principles, which. taken a meals, will di-
gest the food anyway, regardless of the

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.


Common soda is all right in its place,
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes. but it was
never intended for a medicine, and peo-
pie who use it as such will some day re-
gret it.
We refer to the common use of soda TO
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands of people practice
almost daily and one which is fraught
with danger; moreover the soda only
gives temporary relief and in the end the
stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels.

lated in the intestines. causing death by
inflammation or peritonitis.
DR.. Farlanson recommends as the safe
est and surest cure for sour Stoma ch
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets
are large, twenty grain lozenges, very
pleasant TO taste, and contain the natural
acids, peptones, and digestive elements
essential to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has had
time to ferment, sour. and poison the
blood and nervous system.
Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements. and finds
them a certain cure, not only for sour
stomach, but. by promptly disesting the
food. they create healthy appetite. in

cathartic, but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness, and will be found

A Valuable Little Book Sent Free for

Medical books are not always interest
ing reading, especially to people enjoying
good health. but as a matter of fact,
scarcely one person in ten is perfectly
healthy. and even with such sooner or
later sickness must come.
1t is also q well-esta blished truth that
nine tenths of all diseases originate with
a breaking down of the digestion; weak
stomach weakens and impoverishes the
system. making it easy for disease to gain
a foothold.

tion is good and the stomach is able to
assimilate plenty OF wholesome food.

NO FAITH CURE
They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indi-
gestion, Anyway, Whether You
Have Faith in Them or Not

All physicians agree that the element
of faith has great deal to do in the
cure of disease.
Firm belief and confidence in a family
physician or the same confidence and
faith in a patent medicine have produced
remarkable cures in all ages.
This is especially true in nervous trou-
bles, and no field offers so prolific har-
vest for the quack and charlatan as the
diseases arising from a weak or rundown
nervous system.
Nevertheless. the most common of all
diseases, indigestion, and stomach trou-
bles which in turn cause nervous dis
eases. heart troubles, consumption, and
loss of flesh, requires something besides
faith TO cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give you an appetite.
will not increase your flesh and strength
en- your nerves and heart, but Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will do these things.
because they are composed of the ele-
ments of digestion; they contain the
juices. acids. and peptone necessary to
the digestion and assimilation of all
wholesome food.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food If placed in jar or bottle in water
heated to 9S degrees. and they Will do
it much more effectively wnen taken into
the stomach after meals. whether you
have faith that they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach. make pure
blood and strong nerves in the only way
that nature can do 1t, and that is from
plenty of wholesome food, well digested.
1t is not what we eat. but what we di-
gest that does US good.

ARE YOU THIN
You Want to Become FIeshy 9
A FEW SIMPLE RULES.
Flesh, and Not Fat. Is What Is
Needed,

What thin people want is flesh. and not
fat. To be symmetrical and properly pro-
portioned every person should have cer-
tain amount OF flesh. To be plump does
not necessarily mean to be fat. Fat is un-
desirable: it clogs and retards .he action
OF every muscle, interferes with the
healthy action OF the heart and lungs,
and when excessive predisposes to fatty
degeneration of vital organs. TO say Moth
ing of the discomfort. more or less, re-
sultins from excessive adipose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that if one
wishes to become heshy and plump, the
thing most needed would be flesh-forning
foods; in other words, albuminous foods.
like eggs, beef. oatmeal, etc. The kinds
OF food that make flesh are the foods
that form the greater part OF our daily
bill of fare.
Now, the only reason so many people
remain thin is because their stomachs 10
not properly and completely digest and
assimilate the flesh forming beefsteak and
eggs We eat every day.
There are thousands of such people and
they are really dyspeptic, although they
may not suffer any particular pain or in
convenience from their stomachs. II such
persons would take, with their meals
some preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets the food would be quickly digest
ed and the proper degree of plumpness
very soon secured. because these tablets
are prepared exactly for that purpose.
They will digest every variety OF flesh
forming food, which is the sole reason
why they so quickly build up and strength
en- thin, dyspeptic men and women
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dys-
pepsia and every form OF Indigestion on
this common sense plan. that they digest
the food promptly, giving strength to
every nerve and organ of the body. while
at the same time the stomach has
chance TO rest and recover its natural
vigor. Nothing further is required to
cure any stomach trouble, 10 make
thin, dyspeptic people strong, plump, and
