Senator CockreI Cited as Shining
Example of Good Effects of
Such Diet.

ST. LOUIS, March 11-Apples are a

bacco habit, and the low morals which

when one has craving for a smoke or
drink OF liquor he take an apple In

something desperate, sit down and
quietly eat an apple and reflect over it.
Just what medical property Is contained

TOOK A STRAW VO3E.
Interesting Experiment in a Restaurant


An advertising agent. representing a
prominent New York magazine. while
on a recent western trip. was dining one
evening In a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the ad-
vertisement Of a we'll known dyspepsia
preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets;
as he himself was a regular user of the
tablets. he began specializing as to how
many of the other ira Yelling men in the
dining room were also friends of the
popular remedy for Indigestion.
He says: I counted twenty-three men
at the tables and in the hotel Office 7
took the trouble to interview them and
was surprised to learn that nine Of the
twenty-three made a practice OF TAX
ing one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
One Of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that At
one time he had been obliged to quit
the road, but since using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from indigestion. but he continued their
use. especially while travelling, on ac-
count of irregularity in meals and be-
cause like all travelling men he was Of
ten obliged to eat what he could get and
not always what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture OF
health, SAID he never ate a meal without
taking a Stuart Tablet afterward, be-
cause he could eat what he pleased and
when he pleased without fear Of a
sieepless night or any other trouble
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, causing
pressure on heart and lungs. shortness
Of breath and distress in chest. which
he no longer experienced since using the
tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuarts ryspep-
STA Tablets was the only safe remedy
ne had ever found for sour stomach and
acidity. He had formerly used common
soda to relieve the trouble. but the tab
lets We're much better and safer to use
After smoking. drinking or other ex-
cesses which weaken the digestive or
gans, nothing restores the stomach to
a healthy, wholesome condition so ef-
fcctually as Stuarts Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the
natural digestives, pepsln, diastasc. which
every weak stomach lacks. as well as
nuE, hydrastin, and yellow parilla. ana
can be safely relied on as a radical cure
for every form Of poor digestion. Sold
