Appendicitis
How to Avoid It and Escape a Surei-
cal Operation, Told by One
Who Knows.
A Simple Method That Is Always EheaeiOu,

A Simple Method That Is Always ERcaeious
It has only been a few years since e
was discovered that q surgical operation
would cure appendicitis. in fact il has
been but a short time since the disease
was discovered and named.
Whenever there is an inflamed condi-
ton OF the appendix. caused by impacted
faces I'm the small cavity opening into
the intestine. you then have appendicitis.
The older doctors used 10 call this in
fammation Of the bowels and were
puzzled TO know the cause.
Even now. with ali the knowledge we
have OF the disease. no medical man can
tell you why we should have an appendix.
whyS we find IT, where il is. or what are
its functions if it has any.
The disease for which the operation is
a cure is usually caused by Indigestion.
and in many cases follows a large and
indigestible meal
Physicians have until recently recon-
mended an operation, but now. as Il is
known that il is caused by Indigestion.
OF dyspepsia. a cure without an operation
is assured
Where the patient is treated with
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. the unhealthy
conditions prevailing rapidly disappear.
the stomach and intestines are placed
back in their normal condition, every or
gan OF the body operates as il should.
and the Inflammation is reduced and the
operation Is avoided.
Conscientious physicians. who are look
ing after th- best interests OF their pa
tients. will always keep a supply Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy in their
Office. where. in cases of sudden attacks
OF indigestion, they can relieve the pa
tient at once.
There is no record Of a case Of ap-
pendicitis where the stomach and bowels
We're in a healthy condition and properly
digested the food from meal 10 meal.
No better advice can DE given TO any
one who has attacks OF Indigestion, or
who has been threatened with appendi-
cits than 10 tell him to go to the drug
store. pay 30 cents. and take home a
package o. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Whenever heartburn. gas in stomach
or bowels. heart disease or stomach
troubles. sour eructions, acidity or fer
mentation are present. act at once. Take

soon as possible.
