There seems to be no logical reason
1vbv fine stomach should not digest 1t
self when we consider the fact that it
secretes digestive fluids and acids
which are powerful enough to disinte-
CRATE 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 un-
dergone 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 digest
ed. but also the liver, pancreas, spleen,
and portions of the intestines.
The question naturally presents it.
self: what protects the stomach from
self-digestion during life?" DR.. Hunter
declared that the principle of life"
in living things protected this organ
from being digested by its own fluids,
but DIR. Barnard successfully demon
strated that the hind legs of living
frog, when introduced through a fistu!a
or artificial opening into the stomach
of a dog, undergoes complete digestion,
and DR.. Pavy, through similar expert

While the normal stomach is immune
from self-digestion there are many
cases on record, however, in which a
long-standing gastritis and perverted
digestion has completely digeSted or
eaten away the mucous membrane lin
ing of the stomach, and in some in
stances has engendered gastric ulcer,
which ate its way clear through the
stomach wall, and caused fatal peri
tonitis.
In all cases of perverted function of
the stomach which manifests itself by
the numerous well-known symptoms of
indigestion and dyspepsia, Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets act as a corrective,
restoring it to a normal condition ton
ing up the secretory glands, as well
as the tactical 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 per-
verted function, gastritis, gastric ul-
Ger, or the eating away of the mucous
membrane of the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are ex-
ceedingly powerful digestives, a single
grain being sufficient to digest 5000
grains OF food, including meats, vege-
tables, cereals, etc. They digest al
bumenous and starchy foods 'equallS
well. Whenever the stomach is in q
weakened condition, and so lacking in
tone that it furnishes an insufficient
amount of gastric juice, such symp-
toms as heartburn, biliousness, head.
ache, belching of gas and sour eructa-
tions are sure to appear, and make one
feel generally miserable.
Such symptoms can, however, bt
overcome and done away with at once
