A Reasonable Plea
For the Stomach
II Your stomach is Lacking I'm Di-
gestive Power, Why Not Help
the Stomach DO Its Work.
Especially When II Costs
Nothing To Try?


Nothing to Try?
Not with drugs, but with rein
forcement of digestive agents, such
as are naturally at work in the
stomachY Scientific analysis shows
that digestion requires pepsln, MI
trogenous ferments, and the secre-
tion of hydrochloric acid. When
your food fails to digest, it is proof
positive that some OF these agents
are lacking in your digestive appara-
ratus.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but those natural elements
necessary TO digestion and when
placed at work In the weak stom-
ach and small intestines supply what
these organs need They stimulate
the gastric glands and gradually
bring the digestiv, organs 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 ma
tural dlgestlves.
