The Man Who
 Eats We'll
And Enjoys Food, Lives Life as He Should and Gets the Most
 From It.

The man who eats is the man who workS. and the man who works is the man who gins. Tireless workers depend upon a stoEehouse of vim and vigor. India is noted for its fasters and it's dreamers Euroge and America for their eaters and their workers.
 In America we have been doing nothing but work this past quarter of century That is why our old men say, Tn my days no one had dyspepsia Of course, all rsen in those days ate and worked, now they work and eat.
 If sating interferes with business, men give up eating This is good logic for the dpllar-getter. but poor wisdom for the man who really wants to live
 Abuse of anything God given results in puniEhment, and man is a pigmy when it comes to cheating his system.
 If you take from the system that which is intended should remain, or put into it that which Is intended should be kept out. you are cheating yourself, and sooner or later pay the penalty.
 Stu9rts Dyspepsia Tablets are concen- tratef vegetable and fruit essences which give the system every fluid stmulant and ingredient necessary to gain the fullest strength from everything which goes into the stomach or to keep from the system everything which should not lay and decay in it.
 
 you will drink and eat irregularly and to excess then give to Nature as you do so enough of the essences she demands to neutralize the bad effects of your habits. After a meal take a Stuart Dyspepsia Tablet and the meal won't hurt you or your stomach.
 At a midnight dinner take Stuart Tablet and you will sleep well and get up without a breath which is filled with the decay of the midnight meal.
 Foreify your stomach like you do your business Fortunes when lost can be re- gained but the stomach outraged stays with you to the finish, and you know it is there.

Free Laxative
 Cured Legions

Realizing how difficult 1t is to con- vince the average person that one remedy is different from another, even though recommended for the same purpose, and that where one fails the other may still succeed, the dispensers of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the great herb laxative com pound have for several years sent free trial bottles of the remedy to any person who would send name and address
 Through this offer many hundred thousand samples have been distributed. Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin has never been recommended for anything but such conditions as constipation, liver trouble billiousness, sour stomach, n- digestion, fiatulency, dyspepsia, sick headache, heartburn, and similar symp- toms of stomach, liver and bowel dis ease. That it will cure such troubles is attested by the experience of Mrs. Lidia Dixon, of Mingo, Ky, Mrs. N. Cunningham of Talent, Ore, s. R. Tucker, of Hattiesburg, Miss, and d host of others. They originally sent for free trial bottle, and then, being convinced that the remedy was helping them, they bought the regular 50-eent or $l size bottle of their druggist. and in a short while were cured.
 While pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists with the guarantee that 1t will do as claimed or money will be refunded, yet any reader suf- fering from stomach, liver or bowel complaint Is invited to write to Dr. Caldwell at the address below for a free bottle. which will be cheerfully sent We doubt if there is a laxative in America that has so many families using it in the home as pr. Caldwe1l's Syrup Pepsin. Owing to it's special saver of children, women and old folks. It is ,'lea sant to take and never gripes.
