Lord Bacon Said,
"Dige st"
This Is the Secret of Life in Business
or In Health

It is claimed that Lord Bacon struck
the prime keynote of life when he
wrote: "Some books ar to be tasted,
others to be swallowed and some few
to be chewed and digested."
He wrote If books; many who have
followed him have written likewise of
life. The man who digests his business
makes success; the actor or actress
who digests his or her art brings fame;
the man who lives life and digests it as
he should lives as was the intention he
should live.
IT is not the food you swallow or
taste that brings happine SIS to you; it
is the food you digest.
If you swallow and taste and don't
digest and chew Nature cannot give
you health, for you do not furnish the
ammunition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain in
pure. concentrated form the essences
which, when they reach the stomach,
turn dyspeptic conditions into those of
healthy digestion.
These little tablets are dissolved in
the mouth by saliva; they mix with
this fluid and are passed down into the
stomach, where they Immediately set
to work upon the food and digest 1t.
They are many times more powerful
than the human digestive fluids, and
thus replenish Nature with those juices
which sicknei ), abuse or wrongful eat
ing have exhausted.
The worlds best chemists in Europe
and America agree on the ingredient
best adapted to perfect digestion. Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are these in
gradients presented to the stomach in
the most pleasant and lasting form
Powders and liquids soon lose their
q -,ective:.ess through chemical actions
and decay Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are made under terrific pressure, and
their qualities are thu made lasting.
Forty thousand physicians prescribe
and use these tablets, and every drug
gist sells them. Price so cents. Send
us your name and address and we will
send you a trial package by mail free.
