NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A CURE FOR ALL.
Not Patent Cure All, nor . Modern
Miracle, but Simply a Rational
Cure for Dyspepsia.

In these days of humbuggery and de-
ctption, the manufacturers OF patent
medicines, as rule, seem to think
their medicines will not sell unless they
claim that it will cure every disease
under the sun. And they never think
of leaving out dyspepsia and stomach
troubles. They are sure to claim that
their nostrum is absolutely certain TO
cure every dyspeptic and he need look
no further.
In the face of these absurd claims Il
is refreshing to note that the pro-
prietors Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have carefully refrained from making
any undue claims or false representa-
tons regarding the merits of this most
excellent remedy for dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. They make but one
claim for it, and that is. that for indi-
gestion and H-nrious stomach truubIes
