SOUR STOMACH (Aoid Dyspepsla).
Now Recognized as the Cause of Serl-
 ous Diseases.

Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called heartburn or sour stomach, is a form of indigestion resulting from fermenta- tion of the food The stomach being too weak to promptly digest it, the food re- mains until fermentation begins, filling the stomach with gas and bitter, sour. burning taste in the mouth is often pres ent. This condition soon becomes chronic and being an every day occurrence is given but little attention. Because Dys- pepsia Is not immediately fatal, many people do nothing for the trouble.
 It is now well known among able phy- slcians that the whole constitution is gradually undermined and weakened, that the nerves and vital organs are se- riously affected by any form of dyspep- sla. This is plain, as every organ, every nerve in the body is nourished by the blood and the blood is replenished from the food digested. If the food is prop erly digested the blood is pure, the nerves steady; but If supplied from a sour, fermenting, decaying mass the blood is vitiated, poisoned, and the re- suit is shown in sleeplessness, lack of energy poor appetite, nervousness. Every trifle is magnifed and the dys- peptic sees nothing but the dark side of everything.
 Within a recent period remedy has b(1Ai dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and is now becoming rapidly used and prescribed as a radical cure for every form of dyspepsia.
 It is not claimed to cure anything ex- cept dyspepsia and stomach weakness in its various forms, but for this it has been shown to be unequaied. The emi- nent specialists, Reed and O'Leary. have recently stated that they considered Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets an unfailing specific for disorders of the digestive or gans, and the remarkable cures made In cases of long-standing dyspepsia prove that this remedy has extraordinary merit
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been placed before the public and are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package and while it promptly and ef- fectually restores a vigorous diges- tion, at the same time Is perfectly harm less and will not injure the most oeli- cate stomach, but on the contrary by giving perfect digestion. strengthens the stomach. improves the appetite and makes life worth living.
