Many people with weak digestion, as
we'll as some physicians, consider the
first step to take in attempting to cure
indigestion is to restrict the diet, either
by selecting certain foods and reject
ing others or to cut down the amount
of food eaten to barely enough to keep
soul and body together; in other words,
the starvation plan is by many sup
posed to be the first essential
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend diet
ing to a man already suffering from
starvation because indigestion itself
starves every organ, nerve and fibre in
the body.
What people with poor digestion most
need is abundant nutrition, plenty of
good. wholesome. properly cooked food,
and something to assist the weak stom-
ach to digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and the true reason why they cure the
worst cases of stomach trouble.
Eat a sufficient amount of wholesome
food and after each meal take one or
two of STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets to
promptly digest it.
In this way the system is nourished
and the overworked stomach rested, be-
cause the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not, one
grain of the active digestive principle
in StuaI-t's Dyspepsia Tablets being
sufficient to digest 5000 grains of meat,
eggs or other albuminous food.
DR. Harlandson and DR.. Redwell rec
ommend these tablets in all cases of
defective digestion because the pepsin
and diastase in them are absolutely
free from animal matter and other i'm
purities, and being pleasant to the taste
are as safe and harmless for the child
as for the adult.
All drug stores sell this excellent
preparation, and the daily use of them
after meals Will be of great benefit not
only as an immediate relief but to per-
manently build up an invigorate the d.
gestiYe organs.

individual wearing a broad brimmed black
hat and new store clothes came into How
ards gun store at sos Kansas avenue.
First he gazed for quite while into the
show window. Then he went inside and
expressed a desire to purchase a large
Colts revolver which was displayed in the
window. He did not ask the price, and
did not seem to care. He also purchased an
IS cartridge belt and holster, and had
silver plate put on it. Howard cannot re-
