A short time ago was published an ar
ticle recommending to readers the
new discovery for the cure of Dyspep-
sia, called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and the claim then made regarding the
wonderful curative properties of the
remedy have been abundantly sustain
ed by the facts. People who were eau
tious about trying new remedies adj
vertised in the newspapers and were
finally induced to give Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets a trial were surprised
and delighted at the results. In many
cases q single package costing but 50
cents at any drug store made a COM
plete cure and in every instance the
most beneficial results were reported.

the conductor charges him one fare plus

for the full amount. These receipts have
a rebate check on one end, good for ten
