WHAT 1T MEANS TO YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance Of
Good Digestion Until It Is Lost.

Many people suffer from dyspepsia
and do not now it. They feel mean.
out Of sorts, peevish, do not sleep well,
do not have a good keen appetite, do
not have the inclination and energy
for physical or mental work they once
mad, but at the same time do not feel
any particular pain or distress in the
stomach. Yet all this is the result Of
poor digestion, an insidious form of
Dyspepsia which can only be cured by
a remedy specially intended to cure it
and make the digestive organs act
naturally. and properly digest the food
eaten. Bitters. after dinner pills and
nerve tonics will never help the trou-
BILE; they don't reach it. The new
medical discovery does it is called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is a
specific for dyspepsia and indigestion.
II cures because it thoroughly digests
al! wholesome food taken into the
stomach, whether the stomach is in
good working order or not.
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets. by di-
costing the food. instead of making the
worn out stomach do all the work,
gives 1t a much needed rest and a cure
of dyspepsia ia the natural result.
When you are nervous, run down and
sleepless. don't make the common mis-
take of supposing your nervous system
needs treatment and fill your stoma CHI
. with powerful nerve tonics which make
you feel good for little while only to
fell back farther than ever.
Your nerves are all right but they are
starved, they want food.
j Nourish them with wholesome every
day food and plenty Of il. well di-
gested. and you can laugh a; nerve
tonics and medicine.
But the nerves will not be nOurished
from a weak. abused stomach. but
when the digestion has been made per-
feet by the use of this remedy all
, nervous symptoms disappear.
Who ever heard of man or woman
blessed with a vigorous digestion and
good appetite being troubled with their
nerves?
Good digestion means strong nerv-
Gus system. abundance of energy. and
capacity to enjoy the good things of
life.
, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will GER
tainiy set your stomach and digestive
organs right: they can't help but do
it because they nourish the body by
digesting the food eaten, and rest the
stomach.
You get nourishment and rest at one
and the same time and that Is all the
worn out dyspeptic needs to build him
up and give new life to every organ
anG an added zest to every pleasure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
god-send to the army of men and
women with weak stomaAeSs and
nerves and justly merits the S.faim OF
being one Of the most worthy medical
discoveries OF the time.

In lS43 she married Isaac Pinkham.
builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a Won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs
Mrs. Pinkham took q great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
OF the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective niedi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was n rare combina-
ton Of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia f. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as q
labor Of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
OF business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
Of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to
