GIVE YOUR STOMACH
a NICE VACATION
Do Not Do X by Starving II, Either
Let Substitute DO the Work.

The old -adage, "All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy" applies Just as
well To the stomach. one of the most I'M
portant organs of the human system. as
IT does TO the man. himself
If YOUR stomach is worn cut and rebels
against being further taxed beyond its
limit. the only sensible thing you can do
is To cive il a rest Employ substitute
for a short time and see If ii will not
more than repay you in results.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are willing
and most efficient substitute They them
selves digest every bit of food in the
stomach in just the same way that the
stomach itself would. were it Well They
contain ali the essential elements that the
gastric juice and other digestive fluids OF
the stomach contain and actually act just
the same and 10 just the same work as
the natural fluids would do. were the
stomach we'll and sound. They. there
fore. relieve the stomach. just as one
workman relieves another, and permit 1t
TO rest and recuperate and regain its
normal health and strength
This vacation idea was suggested by
the letter Of a prominent lawyer in Chi
cago. Read what he says: Il was en-
gagged, in the most momentous undertak-
