THINK IT OVER
Something You Can See in Any Res
taurant or Cafe.

A pnysician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number
of hearty. vigorous old men at the
tables. men whose ages run from sixty
TO eighty years; many of them bald and
all perhaps gray but none OF them
feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle IS so common
as TO have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless 1t Is an op-
5ect lesson which means something
If YOU will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran crack
ers nor gingerly picking their way
through menu card OF new tangled
health foods; on the contrary they seem
to prefer a juicy roast of beef, prop
erly turned loin of mutton, and even the
deadly broiled lobster is not altogether
ignored.
rhe point of all this is that a vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion and
plenty Of wholesome food, and not upon
dieting and an endeavor to live upon
bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food crankg
who seem 10 believe that meat, coffee.
and many other good things are rank
poiSonS, but these cadayerous, sickly-
looking individuals are walking con-
domination of their own theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that If the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
Juices In SufDcient quantities any whole

the stomach does not do SO. and certain
foods cause distress. one or. two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal will remove all difficulty, because
they supply just what every weak stonl-
ach lacks, pepsin, hydro-chloric acid
diastase and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels. and in fact are not
strictly q medicine. as they Get almost
entirely upon the food eaten digesting

needed rest and giving an appetite for
the next meal

them 10 be perfectly safe to use at any
time. and also having found out by ex-
perience that they are A safeguard
against indigestion in any form, and eat
ing, as they have to. at all hours and
all kinds OF food, the travelling public
for years have pinned their faith to
Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them al 50 cents for
fuil-sized packages, and any druggist
from Maine to California. if his opinion
were asked, will say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach trou-
