DEATH BY INDIGESTION
A Long Train of Fatal Ills is the Direct
Result of Undigested Food.

Undigested food, by fermenting. forms a
poison in the stomach and this is absorbed
in the blood. If this goes on very long
and your heart happens to be weak, you'll
be found some morning dead in bed, or you
may fall back down the stairs about an
hour and half after dinner and the doe
tor will call IL heart disease Yes, that
may be the result, but not the cause. The
cause is indigestion Indigestion is a sim.
pie, common word, but has a terrible i'm.
port.
And so you may get apoplexy, and die
suddenly while you're standing.
II you have a weak liver the poison OF
undigested food will attack it and you will
get jaundce. If you have weak kidneys
you will get Bright's Disease or diabetes
from which there is no rescue for any
man.
1t was a learned physician who said that
the progress OF race depended upon the
stomachs of its members.
And you have at some time in your life
eaten a heavy meal, or eaten in a hurry
and felt that lump of lead" Immediately
afterward. That lump OF lead is hard
ball OF undigested food. The stomach
can't digest it, and finds il hard TO throw
it out. And so It sours. and it makes you
sour ana everybody sour VINO talks with
you. II gives you a bad breath and is
building for you the road 20 dyspepsia and
death, unless you stop it.
Stop II with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
Just think. these little tablets are every
bit as powerful as the gastric juice in your
stomach. One grain will digest 1900 grains
of food. Isn't this wonderful? And Il is
true, just try II and prove it.
II you have any brash. gas on the stom-
ach. fermentation, burning, bloaty feeling
indigestion, dyspepsia or heartburn
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will make II
disappear before IL can do any harm &c
your heart or other organs,
They will invigorate the stomach, relieve
the stomach of two-thirds of its work
and give IL a chance TO rest They will in
crease the flow OF gastric juice and IL you
will ever live" in your lifetime, IL will be
after you have eaten a good hearty meal
and taken one of these little tablets i'm
mediately afterward. You'll just feel fine
Take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
your next meal to-day and you will use
them ever afterward. You will he cheerful

malls to statements about the case attrib-
uted to her by witnesses for the defense.

attorneys was begun. The prosecution
called special attention to the absence OF
powder marks on the clothing of the dead
