 There seems to be no logical reason why the stomach should not digest itself when we consider the fact that it secretes diges- tive fluids and acids which are powerful enough to disintegrate and digest meats, eggs, fruits, cereals, vegetables and other forms of food taken into it.
 In animals which were killed while in full digestion the stomach has under gone complete self-digestion after death, when the body was kept warm; and in human beings who have died suddenly, while digestion was going on, it was found at the autopsy that not only had the stomach been digested, but also the liver, pancreas. spleen and portions of the intestines
 The question naturally presents itself, What protects the stomach from self digestion during life?" pr. Hunter de- clared that the principle of life' in liv- ing things protected this organ from being digested by it's own fluids, but pr. Barnard successfully demonstrated that the hind legs of living frog, when intro duced through fistula or artificial open ing into the stomach of dog, undergoes complete digestion, and Dr. Pavy, through similar experiment.. found that the same was true of a rabbits ear.
 While the normal stomach Is immune from self-digestion, there are many cases on record, however. in which a long, standing gastritis. and perverted diges- ton, has completely digested or eaten away the mucous membrane lining of the stomach, and in some instances has engendered gastric ulcer, which ate it's way clear through the stomach wall, and caused fatal peritonitis.
 In all cases of perverted function of the stomach, which manifests itself by the numerous well-known symptoms of in- digestion and dyspepsia, Stuart's Dyspep- sa Tablets act as a corrective, restoring it to normal condition. toning up the secretory glands. as well as the lacteal glands, which absorb the food, and at the same time assisting the stomach in the process of digestion and preventing all possibility of such conditions arising as will cause perverted function, gastritis, gastric ulcer. or the eating away of the mucous membrane of the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are exceed ingly powerful digestives, single grain being sufficient to digest 5000 grains of food, including meats, vegetables. cereals, etc. They digest albumenous and starchy foods equally well. Whenever the stom- ach is in weakened condition, and so lacking in tone. that it furnishes an in sufficient amount of gastric juice, such symptoms as heartburn, biliousness. head ache, belching of gas and sour eructa- {sions are sure to appear, and make one E8eel generally miserable.
 Such symptoms can, however. be over come and done away with at once. Sim ply take one or two of Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets and forget all about your di- gestive troubles. They do their work promptly and thoroughly, every particle of food being completely digested. and fermentation. decomposition and f1atu- lence and heaviness in stomach after eating. relieved and cured.
