AN OBJECT LESSON


physician puts the query: "Have
you never noticed in any large res
taurant at lunch or dinner time the
large number of hearty. vigorous old
men at the tables: men whose ages
run from so to so years; many of
them bald and all perhaps gray, but
none of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation
or comment, but nevertheless it is
an object lesson which means some
thing.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will OBJ
serve that they are not munching bran
crackers nor gingerly picking their
way through a menu card of new
tangled health foods; on the contrary
they seem to prefer a juicy roast of
beef. a properly turned loin of nut
ton, and even the deadly broiled lob
ster is not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a Wig
orous old age depends upon good di-
gestion and plenty of wholesome food
and not upon dieting and an endeavor
to live upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that meat
coffee and many ether good things are
rank poisons but these cadaverous
sickly looking individuals are a
walking condemnation of their own
theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that If
their stomach secretes the natural di-
gestive juices in sufficient quantity
any wholesome food win be promptly
dieested; if the stomach does not do
so. and certain foods cause distress,
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal will remove all
difficulty because they supply just
what every weak stomach lacks, pep
sin, hydro chloric acid. diastase and
nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon the bowels and in fact are
not strictly medicine, as they act
almost entirely upon the food eaten,
digesting it thoroughly and thus gives
much needed rest and giving an
appetite for the next meal.
OF people who travel nine out of ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets know
ing them to be perfectly safe to use
at any time and also having found
ont by experience that they are a safe
guard against indigestion in any form,
and eating as they have to, at all
hours and all kinds of food, the trav-
cling public for years have pinned
their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents
for fun sized packages and any drug
gist from Maine to California, If his
o0inion were asked, will say that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
popular ard successful remedy for any
stomach trouble
