A Reasonable Plea
 For The Stomach
If Your stomach Is Lacking in Dises- tive Power, Why Not Help the stom-
 ach Do Its Work-EspeciaIIy When It Costs Nothing To TryY

Not with drugs, but with a rein forcement of digestive agents such as are naturally at work in the stoma ch :? Scientific analysis shows that digestion requires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments and the secretion of hydrochloric acid When your food fails to digest, 1t is proof positive that some of these agents are lacking in your digestive apparatus.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines supply what these organs need They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the diges- l tive organs back to their normal con dition.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to con- tain nothing but natural digestives. Chemical Laboratory. Tefegraphic address, "Diffindo," London. Telephone No 11o29 Central. 20 Cullum St Fenchurch St., E. c.
