HELL THANK GOD.

Seven Years tAgo He Stepped into a

Has Come to His
Home.

T. NJ. Sheets tells an interesting
story Of how he was cured of a de-
basing habit in the following words:
! was induced about seven years ago
to take a course in YOUR institution
but l almost thought myself hopeless,
as l was a miserable wretch and curse
to myself and family: but, realizing
the fact that unless something was
done and done quickly, my doom
would be forever. sealed. and that a
drunkard'S grave would be the final
result, | took the advice of my friends
and entered your grand Institute,
and completed the course in about four
weeks; and. to my surprise. | found
that the great thirst and desire for
strong drink had vanished Like mist
before the rising SUM- and. although
it has been several years since | took
the treatment, / am still new man,
and have 70 desire Whatever for the
hell-broth that came so near pulling
me down to a devils hell.
Before taking your course | was not
the only one miserable. but my dear
wife and children also were. After
completing your course | returned to
my home, and everything seemed
changed. 1t seemed as though / had
entered another world. real paradise
and q land of sunshine and flowers. /
heartily recommend and beg any poor
wretch, who is addicted to the liquor
habit. to take course at once in your
great Institution, and the result Will
be inevitable ard he will thank his
God for such an institution. You will
find the officers, manager, and physic-
ian as kind and painstaking as can be,
and evrything possible will be done
for your comfort, and for a speedy
cure.
/ honestly believe that for kind
treatment and speedy and lasting cure

LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE IT'S
OWN WAY.
Do Not Try to Drive and Force il to-
Work When il Is Not Able or
You Will Suffer All the
More

You cannot treat your stomach as
some men treat a balky horse: force,
drive or even starve it into doing work
at which it rebels. The stomach is
patient and faithful servant and will
stand much abuse and i'll treatment
before it "balks,' but when it does
you had better go slow with it and not
attempt to make it work. Some people
have the mistaken idea that they can
make their stomachs work by starving
themselves. They might cure the
stomach that way, but it would take
so long that they would have no use
for stomach when they got through.
The sensible way out of the difficulty
is 20 let the stomach rest if it wants
to and employ a substitute to do it's
work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
the work of your stomach for you and
digest your food just as your stomach
used to when it was well. You can
prove this by putting your food in a
glass jar with one o. = tablets and
sufficient water and you will see the
food digested in just the same time as
the digestive fluids of the stomach
would do it. That will satisfy your
miiad. Now to satisfy both your mind
and body take one :of Stuart s. Dyspep-
sia Tablets after, eating eat all, and
what youS Want--and you iWIllefeet in
your mind that your food is being di-
gested because you will feel no dis
turbance or weight in your stomach,
in fact, you will forget all about hav-
ing a stomach just as you did when
you were a healthy boy or girl.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets act in a
natural way because they contain only
the natural clements of the gastric
juices and other digestive fluids of the
stomach. 1t makes no difference what
condition the stomach is in. they go
right ahead of their own accord and
do their work. They know their busi-
thus relieve the weak stomach of all
its burdens and give it a much needed
rest and permit it to become strong
and healthy.
StuaTts Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a box.
They are SO well known and their pop
ularity is SO great that a druggist
would as soon think of being out of
alcohol or quinine. In fact. physic-
ians are prescribing them all over the
land and if your own doctor is real
honest with you. he will tell you
frankly that there is nothing on earth
so GOOD for dyspepsia as Stuart's Dys-
repsia Tablets.
