Seven Deaths Arise From This Cause
To One of Lack of Food.

Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.
An English medical observer claims
that for one death to starvation there
are seven from Over-eating-
His investigation Is appalling and
leads one TO believe that among the
Anglo-Saxon race over-eating is a ma
tional crime.
This investig cation proves oyer-eat-
ing to be the cause in ten cases out
of twelve of dyspepsia, indigestion and
stomach trouble.
These diseases bring on decay and
decline of the other organs and death
ensues because of an inability OF the
system TO furnish proper nourishment
TO the dying and afflicted parts.
When one over-eats, one exhausts
the gastric fluids, throws undigested
food into the intestines where II ere
ates poison and germ life and is finally
absorbed in a putrid state or thrown
from the system in decaying form
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets viii over
come the Ill effects OF gluttony and
irregular eating. They will digest an
abnormal amount of food and will not
leave the stomach until everything has
been digested-
A single one-grain ingredient of
these tablets will digest 5000 grains of
food and in this proportion is seen how
even gluttony can be overcome or at
least its most harmful effects removed
Make up your mind to try Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets for one week. Take
a tablet after each meal and upon re-
firing at night. Every druggist car
ries them in stock; price soc. If you
have a druggist friend ask his opinion.

Other famous Investigations Of this

In 1926 John c. Calhoun was under
the charge of having profited by cor
rupt deal with a contractor while he
was secretary of war. He asked the
house to make an inquiry into the mat
ter. and he was exonerated. Henry
Clay also fell under the ban of the
scandal monger at one time. and asked
congress to investigate him. He, too.
was cleared of the insinuations against
his character.
In 1887 the house wanted to investi-
gate Andrew Jackson, but it was not
long in finding out that IT had caught
a tartar in Old Hickory The hero Of
New Orleans thought that the execu-
tive had an authority equal TO that Of

nave the legislative end of the estab-
lishment investigate the executive end
unless 1t was for purposes Of impeach-
ment. He replied as politely as his
resolute manner would permit that by
the eternal. they could go to thunder
with their probes"
The story of the inquiries that have
been made by the government might be
continued indefinitely. There have been
dozens of Investigations that were as
full OF Importance and significance in
their time as the Ballinger- Pinchot
probe is today.
