Appendicitis.
How To Avoid 1t and Escape a
Surgical Operation, Told
BY One Who Knows.

SIMPLE METHOD THAT IS ALWAYS Eff
FICACIOUS.
1t has only been few years since it was
discovered that a surgical operation would cure
appendicitis; in fact. it has been but short
time since the disease discovered and
named.
Whenever there is an inHamed condition OF
the appendix, caused by impacted faces in the
small cavity opening into the intestine. you
then have appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this iahamma-
ton of the bowels. and were puzzled to know
the cause.
Even now. with all the knowledge have of
the disease. no medical man tell you why
should have appendix, why find it
where 1t is, or what are its functions. if it
has any.
The disease for which the operation is u
is usually caused by indigestion. and in many
cases follows a large and indi:cstble meal.
Physicians. have until-'recently recommended
an operation. but now. 1t is known that il
is caused by indigestion dyspepsia,
without an operation is assured
Where the patient is treated with Stuart.
Dyspepsia Tablets the unhealthy conditions pre-
valing rapidly disappear. the stomach and in
testines are placed back in their normal
dition every organ of the body operates as 1t
should and the inha mmation Is reduced and the
operation is avoided.
Conscientious physicians. who are lookin. af-
ter the best interests OF their patients. will al
ways keep supply Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab.
lets handy in their office. where In of
sudden attacks OF Indigestion they relieve
the catient at once.
There is no record Of case Of appendicitis
where the stomach and bowels were in
healthy condition and properly digested the food
from meal to meal.
No better advice be given to any one who
has attacks of indigestion. or who has been
threatened with appendicitis. than to tell him
to go to the drug store pay so cents and take
home package of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
Whenever heartburn gas in stomach bow
