an Age to a Sick Stomach.
When millions are used every year
and when every other man or woman
that you meet will recommend Stuart's
to you if you will but inquire-why
do you continue to suffer from stom-
ach trouble? What more evidence can
you ask? And as still further proof
you can even send and get sample
package entirely free. The sample
will surely convince you.
The reasons why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets accomplish such results are
very easy to understand. These tab
lets contain almost the same elements
as the gastric juices OF the stomach
And when your stomach is sick and
not working just right, it does not
give out enough OF the natural di-
gestive juices to properly take care
of the food you eat. So if you will
only. give the stomach a little help by
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet you
will relieve ii of it's chief duty and
allow it the rest it needs to recuper-
ate. One grain of the active principle
in Stuart's Dyspepsia Table will di-
gest 1000 grains of food, whether you
place it in glass jar or in your stom-
ach.
All druggists sell them The price
is so cents per box. If you prefer to
try them first write to F. A. Stuart

Men That Do women's Work.

Among some Of the American Indi-
an tribes of the southwe stern United
States, says writer in Wide World
Magazine, there is curious custom
OF men occasionally suming the
work of VIZ IN as life occupation.
This, when it occurs, is voluntarily I'M
dertaken, and seems to be due to a
preference for feminine labors, the
man sinking his identity as far as pos
sible by assuming woman's garb.
