AN OLD, OLD FABLE
Aesop, Twenty Five Hundred Years
Ago. Recognized the Importance
of the Stomach.

THE members of the body once re-
pelled against the Belly, who, they
said, led an idle, lazy life at their ex-
pense. The Hands declared that they
would not again lift a crust even to
keep him from starving, the Mouth,
that 1t would not take in bit more
food, the Legs, that they would carry
him about no longer and SO on with
the others. The Belly quietly allowed
them to follow their own courses, we'll
knowing that they would all soon come
to their own senses, as, indeed, they
did, when, for want of blood and nour-
ishn.eht supplied fro>1 the stomach,
they found themselves becoming more
skin and bone."-Aesop's Fables.
The above table was written 800 years
before the birth of Christ and shows
that the Importance of the stomach
and its functions were recognized even
in that remote age. It is just as true
today. The moment the stomach, for
any reason. ceases to perform it's work,
the rest Of the body and the brain itself
| suffer serious consequences. The stom-
ach then must be appeased or released
of its burdens.
On the other hand. if your stomach is
all right, you are all right. Why are
growing boys nearly always healthy?
| Because they have not abused their
| stomachs by excessive eating and
| drinking and weakened or destroyed
the functions of that organ. Because
| they eat what Nature demands of good
wholesome food and then take plenty
! of exercise and run and romp and help
out in the process of digestion and keep
their stomachs strong and well. The
same is true of men who lead active
outdoor lives and engage in physical
activity. Their digestion is perfect, the
| food nutrirnent is properly assimilated,
| the blood is pure and healthy, and you
| seldom hear of them being affected
with headache, backache, kidney trou-
| bic, liver trouble, constipation or any
| other of the common ills that always
aff1ict those with bad stomachs.
If there is anything wrong with you,
be sure your stomach is right. If it is
not right, get it right and do it in the
right way-that is the natural way.
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a nat
ural remedy for all stomach disorders
and weakness. They possess exactly
the same properties that the gastric
juices and other digestive fluids of the
stomach possess, and they actually do
the digestive work of the stomach and
enable that organ to rest and recuper-
ate and become sound and well. They
act in a mild, natural manner and
cause no disturbance in the digestive
organs. They prevent any fermenta-
ton of the food, which causes sour

body. They compel perfect digestion of
the food and perfect assimilation of the
