Interesting Experiment In Res
taurant.

An advertising agent, representa- s
prominent New York Magazine,
while on a recent Western trip, was
dining one evening in Pittsburg
restaurant
! While waiting fer his order he
glanced over his newspaper and no
ticed the advertisement of a we'll
known dyspepsia preparation, Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets; as he himself was
regular user of the tablets, he be-
gan speculating as to how many of
the other travelling men in the dining
room we're also friends of the popular
remedy for indigestion.
! He says: counted twenty-three
men at the tables and in the hotel Of
flee / took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine Of the twenty-three made a prac'
tice of taking one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
One of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that al
one time he had been obliged to quit
the road, but since using Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets had been entirely
free from indigestion, but he contin
ued their use, especially while trav
cling, on account of irregularity II
meals and because like all travelling
men he was often Obliged to eat what
he could get and not always what he
wanted.
Another, who looked the picture o
health, said he never ate a meal with
out taking a Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let afterward because he could ear
what he pleased and when he pleased
without fear of a sleepless night ol
any other trouble,
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, caus
ing pressure on heart and lungs, short
ness Of breath and distress in chest
which he no longer experienced since
iusing the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets was the only safe rem
edy he had ever found for sour stom
ach and acidity. He had formerly
used common soda to relieve the
trouble, but the tablets were much
better and safer to use.
After smoking drinking or other ex
cesses which weaken the digestive or
gans, nothing restores the stomach tC
