STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has Revolutionized the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.

The remedy is not heralded as a won derful discovery, nor yet a secret patent medicine. neither is 1t claimed to cure anything except dyspepsia. indigestion and stomach troubles with which nine out of ten suffer.
 The remedy is in the form of pleasant tasting tablets or lozenges, containing vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic pepsin (government test) golden seal and diastase. The tablets are sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting ex- periments to test the digestive power of Stuart's Tablets show that one grain of the active principal contained in them Is sufficient to thoroughly digest 5000 grains of raw meat, eggs and other whole some food.
 Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the bowels like after dinner pills and cheap cathartics, which simply irritate and in- flame the intestines without having any effect whatever in digesting food or cur ing indigestion.
 If the stomach can be rested and assist ed in the work of digestion it will very soon recover its normal vigor, as no or gan is so much abused and overworked as the stomach.
 This is the secret. if there is any se- cret of the remarkable success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy practically unknown few years ago and now the most widely known of any treat ment for stomach weakness.
 This success has been secured entirely upon it's merits as a digestive pure and simple because there can be no stomach trouble if the food is promptly digested
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely on the food eaten. digesting it complete ly, so that it can be assmilated into blood, nerve and tissue. They cure dys- pepsia, water brash, sour stomach, gas and bloating after meals because they furnish the digestive power which weak stomachs lack and unless that lack is supplied 1t is useless to attempt to cure by the use of 'tonics." pills and cathar- tics which have absolutely no digestive power.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can be found at all drug stores and the regular use of one or two of them after meals, will dem- onstrate their merit better than any other argument
