HOW TO DRINK MILK.

Why It Disaerees With Some People.
When one needs a reviving sumulant
after exhaustion nothing can rival the ef,
fects OF hot milk slipped slowly.
Some people say they can not digest
milk and these are the people who drink n
down quickly so that the digestive acids,
In. playing around IT, form large curds
which give trouble before they can be alb
sorbed.
The right way is TO sip the milk In small
amounts so that each mouthful, as II de.
sends into the stomach, is surrounded by
the gastric fluid, and when the whole glass.
ful is down the effect Is that Of spongy
mass OF curds, in and out of which the
keen gastric juices course, speedily doing
their work Of turning the curd into pep
tones that the tissues can take up.
To make sure OF complete digestion take
one or two Of stusrts Dyspepsia Tablets
afterward. as the pepsln and diastase they
contain Increase the quantity and efficiency
Of the gastric juices and supply the natural
digestive ferments which all weak stomachs
lack.
Miss Anna Foiger, professional nurse,
speaking Of the value Of Stuart's Tablets M
conYalescence, says; I'm adult patients te-
covering from severe Illness ami especially
In children where milk disagrees, one or
two tablets overcome any difficulty and
seem 70 strengthen the stomach In a re-
markedly short time J myself have used
them daily for years, when my own dyes
ton has suffered from the Irregularities
and loss OF sleep consequent upon my oc'
cupation.
Not only children and invallds, but pro
fessional people and others whose meals
are necessarily hurried or irregular will
find stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets OF the
greatest value In keeping up the tone and
digestive yigor OF the stomach"
They contain the active digestive fer
ments, the lack OF which Is really the only
cause Of indigestion ana stomach troubles.
and the regular daily use OF them after
meals will probably cure any case Of
stomach trouble except such as arises from
cancer or liberation.
