hut It Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.
Common sense would suggest that If
| one wishes to become heshy and plump
| 1t can only result from the food we eat
and digest. and that food should be
| albuminous or fiesh-forming food, like
eggs. beefsteak, and cereals: In other
words. the kinds of food that make flesh
are the foods which form the greater
part Of our daily bills OF fare.
- But the trouble is that4-while we eat
|. enough and generally too much, the sto-
mach. from abuse and overwork, does not
| properly digest and assin1ilate 1t. which
| is the reason so many people remain tttr,
and under weight: the digestive organs
do not completely digest the lesh-form-
| ing heefsteak and eggs and similar
wholesome food.
There are thousands Of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics. although
! they may have no particular pain or in
convenience from their stomachs.
b IT such persons would lay thei: preju-
dlces aside and make a regular practice
of taking. after each meal, one or two
OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the food
would be quickly and thoroughly digested,
because these Tablets contain the nat
iIsural peptones and diastase which every
weak stomach lacks, and by supplying
to regain It's natural tone and vigor
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every

T wish I was like brother Ben,
Somehow, he amt like other men;
When moneys tight
He's always bright.
He never cares cause things go wrong;
But let's 'em go. and hobbies long
Round on his stick;
His gait amt quick,
Cause sometime since he had fall
Which put him IN bed; that amt ell.
It broke his leg.
Like Silas Wegg
He'd as lief go. it's all the game.
For he don't care 'bou. going lama
He gets about,
He's always out
Poking around to find a friend
And tell joke. There is no end
To his big taies;:
Ha never fails
To make people laugh with his wit
And cause 'em to want more OF It
When there's sleet
He keeps his feet,
He amt afraid; in rain or snows
He is always found on the go
And when he slips.
He only rips
And purses. (hut that IS :. whirna
And says the weather Just suits hinn
He loves to fish.
His greatest wish
Is to bring in a big black bass,
He oftens tries 1t. but alas!
With all his pluck
He has bad luck.
But yet, how good It makes him feel
II he can just tackle an eel.
And play him roun'
And break him down.
And bring him home and tell his tale,
AS proud as if he'd caug.4t a. whale.
When he gets sick
He does not kick,
And NOPE around and whine and groan
But just goes long and let's things Iona
And only says:
TITS natures ways,
That people can't always feel prime;
All of US must be sick sometime"
It's wonderful
The mighty pull
He's got on the bright side Of things,
And when In company he brings
A ray OF light
With sunshine bright
| And when at last, his task Is done.
His terrestrial course nearly run,
He will not croak
Like other folk,
And lamentably grunt and sigh,
But show the world how he can die.
EPITAPH.
Resting here lies an optimist.
Grim death has claimed its prey.

But it will cast brightness Tiers
