GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Do It by Starving It, Either
let Substitute DO the Work.

The old adage "All work and no pla.
makes Jack an dull boy" applies jus
as well to the stomach. one OF the mos
important organs of the human system
as 1t does to the man himself.
II your stomach is worn out and re-
bells against being further taxed be
yond it's limit, the only sensible thdne
you can do is to give it rest. EN-
ploy a substitute for short time. and
see If 1t viii not more than repay you
In results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are Z
willing and most efficient substitute
They themselves digest every bit OF
food in the stomach In just the same
way that the stomach itself would
were IT well. They contain all the es-
sential elements that the gastric Juice
and other digestive fluids OF the stom-
ach contain. and actually act just the
same and do just the same work as the
natural fluids would do were the stom-
ach we'll and sound. They therefore
relieve the stomach just as one man re-
lieves another. and permit 1t to rest
and recuperate and regain Its normal
health and strength.
This vacation" idea was suggested
by the Letter OF prominent lawyer in
Chicago. Read what he says: Il was

cal time, my stomach went clear back
on me. The undue mental strain
brought 1t about and hurried up what
would have happened later on.
What I ate had to literally force
down. and that was a source OF misery,
as had sour stomach much Of the
time. My head ached, was sluggish,
and began to lose my ambition to car

pretty gloomy for me. and confided
