Intestinal Indigestion
A Form of Dyspepsia Usually Result ing From the Inability to Digest 4- Starchy Foods


 starchy Foods
 There are a great many persons who are victims of what is known as intestinal indigestion, a disease which is due to the fact that the starchy foods are either partially digested or not digested at all, and the result of this trouble may be either an obstin- ate constipation or a persistent diar- rhoea-
 This inability to digest starch Is called '.amylaceous dyspepsia a dis ease winch is much in evidence. Amer jeans are notoriously poor digesters of starch, and as starchy foods, such as potatoes. rice. bread. etc, are digested entirely in the small intestine, and not in the stomach proper. as is generally supposed. 1t can be readily seen how intestinal indigestion will usually pro

 Tn a complaint of this character many persons use paregoric, squibb's, bismuth and tannin to relieve the diar- rhoea, all of these remedies being powerfully astringent. and they stop the trouble suddenly, "locking up" the morbid secretionE, throwing the toxic intestinal poison back on the system, and often causing death through au- to-intoxication.
 STUARTS DYSPEPSIA TABLETS contain among other powerful diges- tives.a substance called dinstase, which thoroughly digestss every particle of starchy foods in the small intestine, and prevents the possibility of intesti- nal indigestion. no matter how exces- sive may be the amount of food eaten
 These tablets also contain calcium carbonate. which is a mild though ef- fective sub-astringent. and which re- lieves and cures the diarrhoea by easy stages. It does not act with such sud- denness as would cause poisoning or the system. but on the contrary, by It's antiseptic properties, hll toxins. intes- tinal germs and poisons always pres ent in intestinal indigestion and diar- rhoea, are destroyed.
 Not only are the starches digested by the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets. but through the action of other ingredients they contain albuminous foods like meat and eggs are also di- gested.
