A Great PhysioIogist
Once Said the Way To Keep the Stomach Healthy Is To
 Exercise 1t.
But He Did Not Tell How To Make It
 Healthy.

The muscles of the body can be de- veloped by exercise until their strength has increased manifold, and a proper amount of training each day will accom- plish this result, but it is somewhat doubtful whether you can increase the digestive powers of the stomach by eat ing indigestible food in order to force it to work
 Nature has furnished us all with 0 perfect set of organs, and if they are not abused they will attend to the business required of them. They need no abnor- nal strength.
 There is limit to the weight a man can lift and there is also a limit to what the stomach can do.
 The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion and many affiliated diseases is that the stom- ach has been exercised too much and it is tired or worn out. Not exercise but rest is what it needs.
 To take something into the stomach that will relieve it from it's work for a short time--something to digest the food will give it a rest and allow it time to regain it's strength.
 The proper aid to the digestive organs is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which cure dyspepsia, indigestion, gas on the stom- ach and bowels, heartburn, palpitation of the heart and all stomach diseases.
 Rest and invigoration is what the stom- ach gets when you use Stuarts Dyspep- sia Tablets, for one grain of the active principle in them is sufficient to digest 5000 grains of food
 The Tablets increase the flow of gas- tric juice and prevent fermentation, acid- ity and sour eructionS.
 Do not attempt to starve out dys- pepsia. You need all your strength.
 The common sense method is to digest the food for the stomach and give it rest
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not make the cure, but enables the organs to throw off unhealthy conditions
 Perfect digestion means perfect health, for under these conditions only do the different organs of the body work right and receive the building-up material found in pure blood.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is a natural remedy and is a specific for stomach troubles. The ablest physicians prescribe them.
 The Tablets are pleasant to the taste, and are composed of fruit and vegetable extracts, golden seal and pepsin.
