THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also Q Few Facts on the Same Subject

We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living. about
vegetarianism and many other fads
along the same line.
Restaurants may be found In the
large cities where no meat. pastry or
coffee Is served and the food crank Is
in his glory, and arguments and theo-
ries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score years in robust health on
roast beef. pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant Of the laws Of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow in
matters Of diet and a mixed diet Of
grains fruits and meats Is undoubtedly
the best.
AS compared with grains and vege-
tables. meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in highly concentrated form
and Is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons. people run
down in health and OF low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of 1t. If
the digestion Is too feeble at first it
may be easily corrected by the regular
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. Two Of these excellent
tablets taken after dinner will digest
several thousand grains of meat. eggs
or other animal food in three hours,
and no matter how weak the stomach
may be, no trouble will be experienced
II a regular practice is made of using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. because
they supply the pepsin and diasta Sc
necessary to perfect digestion. and
every form Of indigestion will be over
come by their use.
That large class Of people who come
under the head Of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
its proper digestion by the daily use OF
safe. harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed OF
the natural digestive principles. pepsin
diastase. fruit acids and salts, which &C
tually perform the work Of digestion
Cheap cathartic medicines. masquerad-
ing under the name of dyspepsia cures
are useless for indigestion as they have
absolutely to effect upon the actual d.
gestion Of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply failure of the stomach to di-
ygest food. and the sensible way to
solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia
is to make daily use at meal time of a
1 preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. which is endorsed by the med
ical profession and known to contain
active digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at SO cents for full treatment.
