The onion is undoubtedly q, wholesome
article of food--in fact, has many nedi-
cinal qualities Of value, hut it would DC
difficult to find more lndigesCble ar
ticle than fried onions ard TO many pco-
pIe they are simply poison, but the onion
does not stand alone in this respect. Any
article of food that is not thoroughly dl-
.estcd becomes a. source of disease and
discomfort whether it be fried onions or
beef steak.
The reason Why any wholesome food IS
not promptly digested is because the
stomach lacks some important element
OF digestion, some stomacls lack pep
tone others are deficient in gastric juice,
still others lack laydrochlcric acid.
The one thing necessary to do III any
case OF poor digestion is to supply those
elements of digestion which the stomach
lacks and nothing does this so thorough

DIR. Richardson in writing thesis on
treatment Of dyspepsia and Indigestion.
closes his remarks by saying: For
those suffering from acid dyspepsia,
shown by sour. watery risings. OR for
aatulent dyspepsia shown by gas on the
stomach, causing heart trouble and diff
ffcult breathing. as wei. as for all other
forms OF stomach trouble, the safest
treatment is TO take one or two of
st,,art,s Dyspspsia Tablets after each
meal. / advise them because they con-
tain no harmful drugs, but are composed
OF valuable digestives, which act prompt
" upon the food: eaten. never knew a
case of Indigestion or even chronic dys-
pepsia which Stuarts Tablets would not

Gheao ca,nartic medicines claiming to
cure dyspepsia and Indigestion can have
no effect whatever in actively digestinG
the food, and to call any catharhc medi-
cine a cure for Indigestion Is a mlsnomer.
Every druggist in tile United States and
