sEvery Meal Smiles At Me Now Since I've Been Taking Stuart's Dys-
 uepsia Tabletsv

The minute the stomach ceases to per. form it's functions properly the whole body begins to suffer. The food is only half digested, the body only half nour- lshed. And the undigested portion of the food ferments and decays, generating nauseating gases which derange the whole system. The eventual result is chronic dyspepsia, heartburn, bad breath, dizziness, flatuency and sick headache.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets instantly re- lieve all ailments of the stomach and di- gcstive tract. They act quickly, safely and naturally-just like Nature herself. They contain in themselves the clements which go to make up the natural gastric Juices. They actually digest the food, re- lleving the stomach of all the hard work. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the stand by of many a doctor in the worst cases of stomach trouble. and they never fail him.
 .-<~AIl druggists carry and recommend stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They are sold at 30 cents box. If you want to try them first, we will send you trial pack zge free on receipt of your name and ad- dress. r. A. Stuart Co.,, 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall. Mich.
