The Stomach Does
Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither Will 1t Cure 1t Because The
Lack of Gastric Juices Prohibits
Relief.

The stomach is a strong, powerful Or
gan which is composed OF muscles OF
great strength. 1t is filled during di-
gestion with gastric juices which, when
the stomach, extending and compress
ing the food, dissolve it and separate
the nourishment from the waste matter.
If, however, these gastric juices are
lacking, the stomach is not capable or
dlgesting its food because 1t mas not
the tools with which to work success
fully
The gastric juices when in perfect
state do away with all foul doors, Ter
tmentation and decay, reduce the Iood
to a disintegrated mass and the stomach
then presses 1t into the intestines where
another form of digestion takes place
Then the intestines take from this mass
Of food all that is nourishing and give
II to the blood. The waste matter Is
thrown from the system.
? IF instead of nourishment the intestines
receive impure deposits combined with a
poisonous and imperfect gastric JUICE IL
can be readily seen that they must turn
such imperfect nuorishment into the piooa
The blood then being unable to give eacn
lpart of the body that which it requires
becomes impoverished and disease Is
spread broadcast.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets corrects such
a condition at once. If the gastric Juices
are lacking and imperfect these tablets
do their work just the same. Tney puilo
,p the elements in the juice winch are
lacking and remove those elements which
cause disturbance.
Meat, grains, fluids, vegetables and
delicac ies. in fact each portion or large
meal have been placed in aglass vial and
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have digested
them TO a perfect fluid just as healthy
stomach would do.
A large complex, hearty meal holds
no terrors for a dyspeptic If Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets are used. Abnormal
eating, late dinners, rich foods cause Ill
-effects to the stomach, but when Stuart's
dyspepsia Tablets are used one may eat
when and what one will without danger
of dyspepsia or discomfort.

 The accompanying article by Mrs. J. Walter Fisk is a resume of the years work now in progress in the Ionian Club of Montgomery. This is the second in a series of study out lines designed to further reciprocity in club plans and to furnish suggestions for individual students who are seek ing guidance to definite courses of reading. The first article of the series was by Miss Rose Steiner and was a summing up of the present years work in the Sesame Club of this city.
 The Ionian Club has enjoyed an en- viable degree of distinction lately, hav- ing furnished the newly elected Presi- dent of the State Federation, in Mrs. Phares Coleman, and the Corresponding and Recording Secretary of that organization in Mrs. Henry Sey- mour and Mrs. J J.

A FEW WORDS FROM AN


 A FEW WORDS FROM AN
 IONIAN CLUB MEMBER.
 One of the most important meetings in our years work is prospectus day, when our time Is devoted to the dis cussiou and adoption of a topic for the coming year.
 Last year our wide-awake State Federation Corresponding Secretary had avaiIed herself of the privilege of asking for suggestions from the Gen. eral Federation and a letter addressed to the Chairman of Literature brought a prompt reply with halt-dozeh wear books from Maine to Texas.
 As might be expected from so large A field there was a diversity of sub iects to assist us in making a choice ''The Bible as Literature" Poetry of the Nineteenth Century" "Women in Education" etc.
 The writer, though in the minority is in favor of occasionally adopting one of these books bodily and obviat- ing the tedious preparation of pro- spectus for the coming year, which in- terferes so materially with the work on hand.
 It would in no way detract from the originality of the papers, but as in a game of duplicate whist, although the deal would be the same, the hands would be played differently and the re- suit would in no wise be the same.
 We need new inspira tion from with out. or we are more than apt to get into ruts. For instance. the Chautau- qua Course which was our study for 1907, introduced such subjects as I'm
