Stomach Sufferers
Squander Millions
In Search of Relief.

The world is full of disorderly stom-
achs and 80 per cent of the money spent
upon physicians and drugs goes in an at
tempt to cure the stomach
People are made to believe that in
order 10 gain health they must doctor
their stomach mad use cathartics. So the
doctor gets his fee for the stomach treat
ment and the druggist for the physic,
until the savings of life time are ex-
hausted and yet no cure.
Let's be reasonable.
The sick stomach is in every case
the result of oyer-eating, hurried mas
tication and improper choice of foods.
The mucous lining all the way down
the food tract loses its constituencies
and when food is forced down the
muscles fail TO respond They do not
churn the food as they should The
glands no longer give out gastric juice
TO dissolve the food and render it ca
pable of assimilation The man has be-
come a dyspeptic.
There is one sure way and only one
to bring positive relief. Put into that
stomach of yours the very elements that
it lacks to get that food into liquid form.
1t takes pepsn, diastase, golden seal and
other ferments to accomplish this. The
healthy stomach contains these elements.
The dyspeptic stomach lacks part or all
of them. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is
made up Of just what the dyspeptic stom-
ach lacks--nature's dgestives.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not
medicine not q drug, not cathartic.
They do not cure anybody of anything
but Dyspepsia and Indigestion and such
ailments as arise from poorly digested
food.
While they digest the food the stom-
ach recuperates. The mucous membrane
Is coming out of its stupor, the gastric
Juice is coming 10 the surface. the mus
Giles are regainng 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 yourself?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Will take care
of your food while Nature cures you.
Try a box AT your druggists, 80 cents.
