INTERESTING, If TRUE.
You Can Try 1t for Yourself and Prove

One grain of the active principle In
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat, eggs, or ether
wholesome food, and this claim has
been proven by actual experiment
which anyone can perform for himself
in the following manner: Cut hard
boiled eggs into very small pieces. as
1t would be if nasticated, place the
egg and two or three OF the tablets In
@ bottle or jar containing warm water
heated to 9S degrees (the temperature
of the body) and keep it at this tenn
perature for three and one-half hours,
at the end of which time the egg will
be as completely digested as it would
have been in the healthy stomach OF
q hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do to the egg in tho bottle 1t will do to
the egg or meat in the stomach and
nothing else will rest and inyigorate the
stomach so safely and effectually..
Even a little child can take Stuarts
Tablets with safety, and benefit, II it's
digestion is weak, and the thousands OF
cures accomplished by their daily use
are easily explained when 1T is under
stood that they are composed of veg
etable essences aseptic pepsin, diastase
and Golden Seal. which mingles with
the food and digests it thoroughly, Civ
ing the overworked stomach chance
to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia. nel-
Their do pills and carhartic medicines,
which simply irritate and infiame the
tntestines.
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested there will be no con-
stipation, nor in fact will there be dis
ease of any kind because good digestion
means good health in every organ.
The merit and success OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are world wide and
they are sold at the moderate price
Of SO cents for full sized package in
every drug store in the United States
and Canada, as we'll as in Europe.
