YOU CAN INTEREST HIN.
ANY Nan Over Fifty.

You can interest any man over fifty
years of age in anything that will
make him feel better, because while he
may not as yet have any positive or
ganic disease he no longer feels the
buoyancy and vigor of twenty-five nor
the freedom from aches and pains he
enjoyed In earlier years, and he very
naturally examines with interest any
proposition looking to the improve
ment and preservation of his health.
He will notice among other things
that the stomach Of fifty is a very diff
ferent one from the stomach he pos
sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
care must be exercised as to what is
eaten and how much OF It, and even
with the best of care, there wiz be in
creasing digestive weakness with ad-
vancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
the digestion and assimilation of food
is one which interests not only every
man Of fifty 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 be-
cause blood, nerves, brain tissue and
every other constituent of the body is
entirely the product of digestion, and
no medicine or health" food can pos
sibly create pure blood or restore
! shaky nerves, when weak stomach is
/ replenishing the daily wear and tear
OF the body from a mass of ferment-
ing half-digested food
No, the stomach itself wants help
and in no round about way either; II
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
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
other name for starvation, and the use
of prepared foods and new tangled
breakfast foods simply makes matters
worse as any dyspeptic who has tried
them knows.
AS DR.. Bennett says, the only rea-
son l can imagine why Stuart's Dys.
pepsia Tablets are not universally
used by everybody who is troubled in
any way with poor digestion is be-
cause many people seem to think that
because a medicine is advertised or
is sold in drug stores or is protected
by trade mark must be a humbug
whereas as a matter of truth any drug
gist who is observant knows that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have cured
more people of Indigestion, heartburn,
heart trouble, nervous prostration and
run down condition generally than all
the patent medicines and doctors pre-
scriptions for stomach trouble COM
hined.
