NOBODY IS EXEnPT.
A New Preparation Which Everyone
 Will Need Sooner or Later.


 Almost evarybody's digestion is disor- dered more or less, and the commonest thing they do for it Is to take some one of the many so-called blood purifiers. which in many cases are merely strong cathartics. Such things arc not needed. If the organs are in clogged condition, they need only a little help and they will risht themselves. Cathartics irri- tate the sensitive Things of the stomach and bowels and often do more harm than good.
 PurginR is not what Is needed The thing to do Is to put the food in condi- ton to be readily digested and assim- Hated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly. They partly digest what Is eaten and give the stomach just the help it needs. They stimulate the seere- tion and excretion of the digestive fluids and relieve the congssted condition Of the glands and membranes. They put tho whole digestive system In condition to do its work When that is done you need take no more tablets. unless you eat what does not agree with you. Then take one or two tablets-gtvs them needed help and you will have no trouble.
 It's q common sense medicine and a common sense treatment and 1t will cure every time Not only cure the disease, but cure the cause. Goes about it in perfectly sensible and scientific way.
 We have testimonials enough to hlE book but we don't publish many of them. However-Mrs. E. M. Faith, of Byrd's Creek Wis, says;
 q have taken afl the Tablets I got of you and they have done their work well in my case, for feel like different per son altogether. l don't doubt if had not got them should have been at rest by tiis time"
 H. E. Willard, onslow, la. says: MT. White of Canton, was telling me of you Dyspepsia Tablets curing him of Dys- pepsia from which Ire suffered for eight years As l am a sufferer myself l wish you to send me a package by return mail"
 Phil Brooks. Detroit, Mich. says: Your Dyspepsia cure has worked wonders in my case. I suffered for years from dys- pepsia but am now entirely cured and en- joy life as l never have before. gladly recommend them.
 It will cost 5oc to find ont just how much Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will help you. Try them-thats the best way to decide Eed-fn-suu.
