mediately shout for new locality,

to certain locality and will spend the

THE ROOT OF THE NATTER.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Troubles, by Getting Down 10
First Principles.

A man of large affairs in one of our
prom nent eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little eXer-
else and too many club dinners, finally
began to pay natures tax. levied in
the form Of chronic stomach trouble.
the failure of his digestion brought
about a nervous 'iTritability making il
impossible to apply h msclf to his
daily business and finally deranging
the kidneys and heart
In his own words he says: 81 con-
suited one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my
case. but all the Same they each fail

former digestion, appetite and vigor.

even renounced my daily glass or two
of beer, without any marked improve

Friends had often advised me to
try a well known proprietary medi-
cine. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
had often perused the newspaper ad-
vertisements of the remedy but never
took any stock in advertised medicin e
nor could believe a fifty cent patent

point me. ] can eat and sleep and
enjoy my coffee. and cigar and no one
would suppose l had ever known the
horrors of dyspepsia.
"Out Of friendly curiosity / wrote
to the proprietors of the remedy ask
ing for information as to what the
tablets contained and they replied that
the principal ingredients were asep-
tic pepsin government tes) malt
diastase and other natural digestlves
which digest food regardless of the
condition of the stomach
The root of the matter is this. the
digestive elements contained in
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
the food, give the yoverworked stom-
ach a chance to recuperate and the
nerves and whole system to receive
the nourishment which can only come
from food Stimulants and nerve
tones never give real strength. they
give fictitious strength, invariably fol-
lowed by reaction. Every drop Of
food, every nerve and tissue is manu-
featured from our daily food. and if
you can insure its prompt action and
complete digestion by the regular use
of so good and wholesome a remedy
as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets you will
have no need of nerve tonics and
sanitariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only a few
years. probably every druggist i'm the
united states. Canada and Great
Britain Low sells them and considers
them the most popular and success
ful of any preparation for stomach
trouble.
