were examined, after which the commits

days. Thus we get surplus of starch;
meats are often despoiled of much of
their nutritive quality; the soil is de-
pleted of the amount of vegetable salts
it ought to have. We do not obtain tho
natural ripened fruits and vegetables
hence the stomach requires assistance
to digest an overabundance of fibrous
material and take care of fruit acids
that Nature had no chance to convert
into grape sugar. So We need more pep
sin than the system can supply, more
diastase, more of the natural tonic and
preservative properties which ripened
vegetation should give us. This def
cheney is made UP in Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and is the only way to have

Try just one box and you will never
want to be without this wonderful
remedy for stomach troubles Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets contain an ingred-

5000 grains of food. They are so en-
