Man Is As Old
As His Stomach"
This Persian EpIgram Is the Real
Gauge Of A Mans Life.

The Persians were a very sagacious
people. noted among other things. for
their deep thinking on life and the
things which make up life.
The above epigram shows the wis
dom OF their thought.
When a mans stomach Is able to
furnish new material to the system as
fast or faster than the natural decay
OF man requires, then such a man
lives his fullest and his best.
When through wrong living or dis-
ease mans stomach begins to tax
the other organs and takes from the
blood strength which II cannot give
back In nourishment taken from food,
then begins the death OF man and he
decays fast. The stomach Is strong,
splendidly strong, and can stand an
untold amount OF abuse and neglect.
but when 1t dies, man dies
The stomach gives tons upon tons of
good rich blood every year to the sys-
TEN and draws only $50 lbs OF nour-
ishinent for It's own use. IL. however.
the food which II receives cannot be
turned into blood which is capable OF
use by the body. then the stomach re-
ceives no help from the other organs
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the most perfect digestive qualities
known to science and at the same
time the most powerful. They will
mix with the poisonous juices Of a
sick stomach and digest food in spite
OF this handicap.
They will stop gas making and bad

A few days ago Hicks bought two

Hicks decided to get rid of his old
shoes where they would do most good.
so he reached up and handed down
one of the packages. The recipient
gratefully accepted and went away to

The sequel? Oh, that's easy. Hicks
found when he came TO open the re-
