RICH MEN ARE
NOT ALL HAPPY
Croes.s, King sf Lydia, Had
Troubles OF His Cwu and
There Are Others.

I Croesus, the John d. Rockefeller Of
the kingdom of Lydia, was very well-to-
do in worldly goods and chattels. "As
rich as Croesus" is saying about $500
years old. He had his troubles however,
and some of them were full grown. He
was teken captive once by Cyrus and
only saved himself from being burned
alive by quoting saying of Solon, the
Sage. He finally had to fee his king
dom for parts unknown.
Many of the. rich mans troubles today
come from high living and could be avoid
ed. They are brought on by eating all
kinds of rich, heavy foods at irregular
times, lack of proper exercise, undue
mental strain, unnatural stinHlants, etc,
and are commonly known as Indigestion,
7 dyspepsia and weak stomach. They are
serious troubles all right, but not only
can they be avoided but can also be cur
ed, and that without loss Of time or prop
er food and nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
certain relief Of dyspeptics, rich and poor
alike. There is no such thing as stop
ping their onward progress now. A great
nation has placed its stamp of approval
upon their noble work. The thousands
and thousands of cures they have effected
and the happiness resulting therefrom
have made their name household word
throughout the land.
The story of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's can be told in word. They actual
~ do the work that the weak and vast
ed stomach is unable to do and allow it
to recuperate and regain its strength.
They contain all the essential properties
that the gastric juice and other digestive
fluids do, and they digest the food just as
a sound and well stomach would. They
relieve the stomach just as one rested
and refreshed workman relieves the one
on duty that is tired and worn, and Ma
ture does her own work of restoration.
It is simple, natural process that a
child can understand You can eat all
you want without fear of results.
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
| By all druggists at 80 cents box. Drug
gists all know betler than to try to get
along without them, as the demand for
them is great and universal.
