AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.
So Thinks at Least One Travelling Man.

I would as soon think of starting out without my mileage books and grip as to start on a trip without a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in my valise, said traveling man who represents St. Louis hardware house. Why? Because I have to put up at all kinds of hotels and board ing houses. l have to eat good bad and indifferent food at all hours of the day and night and l don't believe any man S stomach will stand that sort of thing without protest anyway I know mine won't It has to have something to break the fall and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the crutch l fall back on.
 My friends often josh" me about it, tell me I'm an easy mark for patent medi- cine fakers, that advertised medicines are humbugs. etc., but I notice that they are nearly always complaining of their aches and pains and poor digestion while l can stand most any old kind of fare and feel good and ready for work when it needs me and I believe I owe my good digestion and sound health to the daily, regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, year III and year out and all the 'joshing" in the world will never convince me to the con trary
 I used to have heartburn about three times a day and a headache about three or four times a week and after standing for this for four or five years I began to look around for a crutch and found 1t when my doctor told me the best invest ment I could make would be fifty cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and I have invested about fifty cents a month for them ever since and when I stop to think that that Is what I spend every day for cigars. I feel like shaking hands with myself for I can keep my stomach and digestion in first class order for fifty cents a month. I don't care for any better life insurance.
 My druggist tells me they are the most popular of all stomach medicines and that they have maintained their popularity and success because they do as advertised They bring results. and results are what count In patent medicine as much as In ceiling barbWire
