Catarrh of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Ef.
fectual Cure for It.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings
formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs and difficult breath
| ing. headaches, tickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out, languid
| feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue and II the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show
a Shiny. infamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
| trouble is found in treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thorough
ly digested before 1t has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
of the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy diges ton is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson. the safest
and best trea tment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastase
Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux. Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drug stores under the
name OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and
not being a patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
