PUTIN e IT STRONG.
But Doesn't It Look Reasonable?

This may reid as though we We're
putting 1T little strong, because it is
generally thought by the majority of
people that Dyspepsia in it's chronic
form is incdrab or practically so.
But we have, long since shown that
Dyspepsia is durable. nor is it such a
dif1Icult matter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting starving
themselves. or going to opposite eX-
treme, or else deluging the already
oVerburdened stomach with "bitters"
after-dinner pills" etc. which invari-
ably increase the difficulty even if in
some cases they do give a slight,
temporary relief. Such treatment of
the stomach simply makes matters
worse. What the stomach wants is a
rest. Now, how can the stomach be
come rested, recuperated and at the
same time the body nourshed and
sustained.
This is Il great secret and this is also
he secret of the uniform success of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a
comparatively new remedy but it's sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as
TO it's merit
The Tablets will digest the food any,
way. regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia. accord
ing to directions, is to eat an abun-
dance of good. wholesome food and use
the tablets before and after each meal
and the result will be that the food will
he digested no matter how bad your
Dyspepsia may be. because as before
stated. the tablets will digest the food
even if the stomach is wholly inactive.
To illustrate our meaning plainly, if
You take 1.SnO grains of meat. eggs or
ordinary food and place it in a tenn
perature of 9S degrees, and put with it

within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak.
vet these tablets will perform the work.

same time a radical. lasting cure OF

the many remedies advertised to cure
