A Reasonable Plea
For the Stomach
If Your stomach Is Lacking in Diges-

When It Costs Nothing to TI.v2


Not with drugs. but with a reinforce
ment of digestive agents. such as are
naturally at work in the stomach Sci
entific analysis shows that digestion re-
quireS pepsiTls sTl1trogenous ferments, ana
the secretion OF hydrOchlOric acid. When
YOUR food fails to digest, it is proof pos
tive that some of these agents are
lacking IN your digestive apparatus.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements
necessary to digestion and when placed
a work in the weak stomach and small
intestines supply what these organs
need. They stimulate the gastric glands
and gradually bring the digestive or
gans back to their normal condition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
subjected to critical chemical tests at
home and abroad and are found to
contain nothing but natural digestives.
