THE ,RIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same Sub
 feet,

Also a Few Facts on the Same Sub
 ject.
 We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygenic living, about vegeta- rianism and many other fads along the same line.
 Restaurants may be found in the larger cities where no meat. pastry or coffee is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and theories galore ad- vanced to prove that meat was never in- tended for human stomachs. and almost make us believe that our sturdy ances- tors who lived four score years in robust health on roast beef pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind from bacon to acorns.
 A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in matters of diet, and mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats Is undoubtedly the best.
 As compar ed with grains and vegetables, meat furnishes the most nutriment in a highly concentrated form and Is dig gssted and Is assimilated more quickly than vegetables and grains.
 pr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: NerVous persons, people run down in health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of it. If the digestion is too feeble at first it may be easily cor rected by the regular use of Stuart E Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal Two of these excellent tablets taken after din- neT will digest several thousand grains of meat, eggs and other animal food in three hours. and no matter how weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be ex- perienced if a regular practice is made oS using Stparts Dyspepsia Tablets because they supply the pepsin and diastase nec- essary to perfect digestion, and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
 That large class of people who come under the head of nervous dyspep les should eat plenty of meat and insure it's proper digestion by the daily use of a safe. harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of the natural digestive principles, pepsin, Tliastase, fruit acids and salts, which ac- tually perform the work of digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines. masquerading under the name of dyspepsia cures are useless for indigestion as they have abso- lutely no effect upon the actual diges- tion of food
 Dyspepsia in all it's many forms is sim ply a failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make daily use at meal time of q preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which is endorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive princi- pies, wed-fri-sun.
