WRONG IDEA.

Don't get the wrong idea into your
head that starvation Is good for Dys-
pepsia.
Its not.
Those who have not studied the
subject very deeply, or with trained
scientific minds. might think so.
But facts prove otherwise.
All specialists in stomach and diges-
tive disorders know. that it is best
for dyspepsia to be well fed.
WHY, dyspepsia is really a starva-
ton diseasel
Your food doesn't feed you.
BY starvation you may give your
bowels and kidneys less TO DO, put
that does not cure your digestive trou-
bel-simply makes you weaker and
sicker; less likely to be permanently
cured than ever.
No, the only right way to perma-
nently cure yourself OF any form OF
dyspepsia or indigestive trouble Is 70
eat heartily Of all the food that you
find best agrees with you, and help
your digestion TO work with Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets.
This Is a safe. certain, scientific, re-
liable method OF treatment. which viii
never fail TO cure the most obstinate
cases n persevered In.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have n
gentle, tonic. refreshing effect on the
secretory glands Of the entire digestive
tract
Thev gently force the flow Of fresh
digestive juices.
Thev contain. themselves, many 81
me chemical constituents OF these
fuices. thus when dissolved they help
ID dissolve the food around them IN
stomach Or bowels.
1hoy therefore quickly relieve al
