FOR YOU

Here are some facts for Dyspeptics

may go wrong from the very beginning.
Or, everything may be all right but
your liver.
Or, maybe it seems to be your heart
Or, you may have deepchested lung

Ten times out of eleven those symp-
toms point to the plain, everyday com
mon or garden variety of indigestion.
This may seem hard to believe, but
if so, it is only because for many years,
even after the discovery Of the circu-
lation of the blood by Harvey, doctors
remained in the densest ign ORANGE con
corning the workings Of the processes
So, Of course. Of Indigestion, they
knew less.
And of a cure, today, they have no
knowledge at albany of the 100000
that are practicing' in the United
States.
Except-about 100000 who use and
recommend Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
Here we have medicine which at
tacks the trouble with all of the most
modern engines of medical warfare,
which are indeed needed to conquer
such a malignant, pestiferous, a1-per-
vading disease.
Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets drive IN

They contain ingredients which act
curatively, not merely upon the stom-
