RICH MEN ARE
NOT ALL HAPPY
Croesus, King of Lydia, Had Troubles
OF His Own, and There Are Others.


Croesus. the John D. Rockefeller OF
the Kingdom of Lydia, was very well-to-
do in worldly goods and chattels. "As
rich as Croesusv is saying about $500
years old. He had his troubles, however,
and some of them were full grown. He
was taken 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 to-
day come from high living and could be
avoided. They are brought on by eat
ing all kinds of rich, heavy foods at ir-
regular times, lack of proper exercise,
undue mental strain, unnatural stimu-
lants, etc, and are commonly known as
indigestion, dyspepsia and weak stom-
ach. They are serious troubles all right,
but not only can they be avoided but can
also be cured, and that without loss of
time or roper food and nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the GER
tain 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 effect
ed and the happiness resulting therefrom
have made their name household word
throughout the land.
