WHY DOES NOT
 THE STOMACH
 DIGEST ITSELF?
An Unsolved Problem, Which Has Puzzled Physicians of All Schools.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets Sent Free.

There seems to be no logical req
 son why the stomach should not di-
 gest itself when we consider the fac
 that it secretes digestive fluids anC acids which are powerful enough tC disintegrate and digest meats. eggs fruits. cereals, vegetables and other forms of food taken into it.
 Tn animals which were killed while in full digestion of the stomach has undergone \ complete = digestion after death, when the body was kept warm; and in human beings who Ina C died suddenly. while digestion was go- ing on, it was found at the autopsy that not only had the stomach been digested, but also the liver. pancreac, spleen, and portions of the inestines.
 The question naturally presents it. self: What protects the stomach frd.n seli-dige stion during liIe?" Dr. IInn- ter declared that the principle of life m living things protected this organ firm being digested by it's own fluids. It:t pr. Barnard successfully demon- stratcd that the hind legs of living f.1g. when IroGuced through a fls trla or artificial opening into the stomach of a dog. undergoes complete digestion. and pr. Paw. through sim liar experiment. found that the same was true of rabbits ear
 While the normal stomach is inn mune from elf-digestion, there are Tlany cases on record, however, m which q long g-standing gastritis. and perverted digestion. has completely digested or eaten away the mucous membrane lining of the stomach, and in some instances has engendered gas tric 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 maHifests itself by the numerous well-known symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets act as a corrective, restoring it to a normal condition. toning up the secretory glands. as well as the lacteal glands. which absorb the food. and at the same time as- sisting the stomach in the process of digestion, and preventing all possi bility of such conditions arising as will cause perverted function, gastritis. gastric ulcer, or the eating away of the mucous membrane of the stom ach.
