Stomach Sufferers
 Squander Millions
In Search of Relief.

The world is full of disordered stom- achs and 90 per cent of the money spent upon physicians and drugs goes in an attempt to cure the stomachs.
 People are made to believe that in order to gain health they must doctor their stomachs and use cathartics. So the doctor gets his fee for the stomach treatment and the druggist for the physic, until the savings of a lifetime are exhausted and yet no cure.
 Let's be reasonable.
 The sick stomach is in every case the result of over eating, hurried mas tication and improper choice of foods. The mucous lining all the way down the food tract loses it's sensitiveness and when food Is forced down the mus cles fail to respond. They do not ehurn the food as they should. The glands no longer give out gastric juice to dis solve the food and render 1t capable of assimilation. The man has become a dyspeptie.
 There is one sure way and only one to bring positive relief. Put into that stomach of yours the very clements that it lacks to get that food into liquid form. It takes pepsin. dlastase. golden seal and other ferments to &C., complish this. The healthy stomach contains these enements The dyspep- tic stomach lacks part or all of them. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet Is made up of just what the dyspeptic stomach lacks.-nature's digestives.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a medicine, not drug, not cathartic. They do not cure anybody of anything but Dyspepsia and Indigestion and such ailments arise from poorly digest ed food.
 While they digest the food the stom- ach recuperates. The mucuous mem brane is coming out of it's stupor. the gastric juice is coming to the surface, the muscles are regaining their power. Every organ of the body takes on new life, the skin gains color and the eyes are no longer tinged with yellow. You live.
 Why doctor and why drug yourselfq stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will take care of your food while Nature cures you.
 Try a box at your druggists. 50 cents Or, if you prefer a free trial pacl,aga before buying, send your name and ad- dress to-day. F. A. Stuart e., 6S Sim art Bldg, Marshall, Mich.
