Remedy Free For The ASKING.

Remedy Free For the Asking.
A great outcry has arisen during the
last few years against scientists who
torture dumb animals alive in the in
terests of science. How many peoDle
are there, however. who needlessly tor
ture themselves by causing their storn.
achs to overwork. Dyspepsia, indiges.
tion, heartburn, sleeplessness, loss OF
vim and energy are the inevitable re-
suit.

Why not give your stomach a rest7
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will re-
lieve your stomach of all its work and
do it for you. They are compounded
Of the very elements and do the work
which the stomach performs when in
normal health, aseptic pepsin, malt
diastase and like ingredients.
Dr. Richardson in writing a thesis
on treatment of dyspepsia and indi-
gestion, closes his remarks by saying,
For those suffering from acid dys-
pepsia, shown by sour, watery risings
or for flatulent dyspepsia shown by
gas on stomach, causing heart trouble
and difficult breathing, as well as for
all other forms of stomach trouble. the
safest treatment is to take one or two
OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. advise them because they
contain no harmful drugs. but are
composed Of valuable digestives. which
act promptly upon the food eaten.
never knew a case of Indigestion or
even chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's
Tablets would not reach"
Cheap cathartic medicines ciaimine
to cure dyspepsia and indigestion can
have no effect whatever in actively di-
gesting the food, and to call any cath
artie medicine a cure for Indigestion
Is msnomer
Every druggist in the United States
and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspensia
Tablets, and they are not only the saf-
est and most successful but the most
