LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE ITS
 OWN WAY.
Do Not Try to Drive and Force It to Work When 1t 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 1t into doing work at which 1t rebels. The stomach is a patient and faithful servant and will stand much abuse and Ill treatment before it "balks," but when 1t does you had better go slow with 1t and not attempt to make it work Some people have a mistaken idea that they can make their stomachs work by starving themselves. They might cure the stomach that way, but 1t would take so long that they would have no use for a stomach when they got through The sensible way out of the difficulty is to let the stomach rest if it wants to and employ a substitute to do its work
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do the work of your stomach for you and digest your food for you just as your stomach
 used to when 1t was we'll. You can prove this by putting your food in a glass jar
 with one of the tablets and sufficient wa
 ter and you will see the food digested in
 just the same time that the digestive
 fluids of the stomach would do it. That
 will satisfy your mind. Now, to satisfy beth your mind and body take one of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after eating eat all and what you want-and you will feel in your mind that your food is be- ing digested. because you will feel nc disturbance or weight in your stomach Tn Idct. you VIII JoIBel di dDOul HdNlnH a stomach just as you did when you were a healthy boy or girl.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in nat ural way because they contain only the natural elements of the gastric juices and other digestive fluids of the stomach. Il makes no difference what condition the stomach is in, they go right ahead of their own accord and do their work They know their business and surround ing conditions do not influence them in the least. They thus relieve the weak
 stomach of all it's burdens and give 1t its
 much needed rest and permit 1t to become
 strong and healthy.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
 by all druggists at 50 cents box. They are so well known and their popularity
 is so great that a druggist would as soon
 think of being out of alcohol or quinine
 In fact, physicians are prescribing them
 all over the land and If your doctor
 Is real honest with you. he will tell you
 frankly that there is nothing on earth so
 good for dyspepsia as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
