Religion Is something which is never

The lodge room is simply q place where

Nothing is ever done or said that would

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying a
Good Medicine.


Stomach troubles are so common and
In most cases so obstinate 10 cure that
people arc apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming TO be a radical per-
manent cure for dyspepsia and indiges-
ton, Many such pride themselves on
their acutcness in never being hum
bugSed especially in medicines.
This fear OF being humbugsed can be
carried TOO far. SO far. in fact. that many
people suffer for years with weak dges-
tion rather than risk q little time and
money in faithfully testing the cralms
made OF a preparation so reliable and
universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret pat
ent medicine. no secret is made of their
ingredients. but analysis shows them TO
contain the natural digestive feuncnts,
pure aseptic ,pepsin; the digestive acids,
Golden Seal. bismuth. hydrsstis and nux.
They are not cathartic. neither do they
act powerfully on any organ, but they
cure indigestion on the common sense
