A Reasonable Plea
For the Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking in Di.
gestive Power, Why Not Help

Especially When It
Costs Nothing
to Try?

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 pepsin, heterogeneous fermentS, and
the secretion of hydrochloric acids. When
your fool fails to digest. it is proof pos
tive that some of these agents are lack
ing in your digestive apparatus.
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets contain MOTH
ing but these natural elements necessary
to digestion and when placed at work in
the weak stomach and small inteStines
supply what these organs need. They
stimulate the gastric glands and gradu-
ally bring the digestive organs back 10
their normal condition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
subjected to critical chemical tests at
home and abroad and are found to con-
tain nothing but natural digestives.

There is no secret in the preparation

position is commonly known among phy-

CROPS DAMAGED BY RAIN.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 2-Irreparable
damage is being done the crops of Ten
nesSee by the incessant rains, which have
fallen during the past two weeks. 1t will
be impossible for some time yet to aCCu-
rately estimate the loss by reason OF eX-
teEsive excessive downpourS, but Com
missioner Ogilvie of the department of ag-
riculture declares that it will be enOT-
NOUS. Rains have prevented the planting
of wheat altogether. and should there be
no more rains for a month it would be
an utter imposSibility for the farmers to
sow the average wheat crop.
