the application of turpentine and other neces-

the pain and the wound caused him but little
trouble that night. When he awoke the next

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's DyspepSi:
Tablets.
A New Discovery, but Nofa PAtsrt
Medicine.

Or. Redwell relates an interesting
account OF what he considers re-
markable cure of acute stomach trou.
bio and chronic dyspepsia by the use
of the new discovery, Stuarts Dys-
pepsla Tablets.
He says: '"rhe patient was man
who had suffered, TO my knowledge,
for years with dyspepsia. Everything
he ate seemed TO sour and create gases
in the stomach. He had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and dis
tross after eating, poor appetite and
loss OF flesh; the heart became affect.
ed causing palpitation and sleepless-
ness ut night.
81 gave him powerful nerve tonica
and blood remedies, but 10 no purpose.
As nm experiment l finally bought a
10 cent package OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at n drug store and gave
them 10 him. Almost immediate re-
illef was given, and after he had used
four boxes he was to all appearances
fully cured.
There was no more acidlty or sour
watery rlslngs, no bloating after meals
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and II pounds IN
weight Of solid, healthy hesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are advertised aud sold in drug

valuable addition to any physician
line of remedies, as they are perfectly
harmless and can be given to children
or inyallds or in any condition OF the
stomach with perfect safety, being
hormless and containing nothing but
fruit and vegetable essences, pur,
