along all lines of civic development dur

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM

You can interest any man over 80
years of age in anything that will make
him feel better, because while he may
not rs yet have any positive organic
disease he no longer feels the buoyancy
and vigor of 20 nor the freedom from
aches and pains he enjoyed in earlier
years, and he very naturally examines
with interest any proposition looking
to the Improvement and preservation
of his health.
He will notice among other things
that the stomach of so is a very diff
ferent one from the stomach he pos
sessed at rs. That greatest care must
be exercised as to what Is eaten and
how much of 1t, and even with the best
Of care, there will be increasing diges-
tive weakness with advancing years.
proposition to perfect or improve
the digestion and assimilation of food
Is one which interests not only every
man of so but every man. woman and
child of any age. because the whole
secret of good health, good blood,
strong nerves, is to have a stomach
which will promptly and thoroughly
digest wholesome food because blood,
nerves. brain tissue and every other
constituent of the body is entirely the
product of digestion, and no medicine
or health" food can possibly create
pure blood or restore shaky nerves,
when a weak stomach Is replenishing
the daily wear and tear of the body
from mass of fermenting half-digest-
Cd food.
No, the stomach Itself wants help
and in no round about way either; 1t
wants direct, unmistakable assistance,
such as is given by one or two Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use gives the stomach a
chance to rest and recuperate; one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains
digestive elements sufficient to digest
5000 grains of ordinary food such. as
bread, meat, eggs, etc.
The plan of dieting is simply an
ether name for starvation. and the use
Of prepared foods and new tangled
breakfast foods simply makes matters
worse an any dyspeptic who has tried
them knows.
Az DR.. Bennett says, the only reason
can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who Is troubled in any way
With poor digestion is because many
neople seem to think that because q
medicine is advertised or Is sold in
Arug stores or Is protected by trade
mark must be a humbug whereas as a
matter of truth any druggist who Is OBJ
anryant knows that Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets have cured more people of in
+ 4irestion, heartburn, heart trouble,
nervous prostration and run down con-
ALTON generally than all the patent
Medicines and doctors prescriptions
for stomach trouble combined.
