4 Reasonable Plea
For The Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking In Diges-
tive Power, Why Not Help the
Stomach Do Its Work?

Not with drugs, but with a reinforce
ment Of digestive agents, such as are
naturally at work in the stomach. Scien-
tiic analysis shows that digestion re-
quires pepsin, heterogeneous eefmei,ts, and
the secretion of hydrochloric acid. When
your food fails to digest, IL is proof
positive that some of these agents are
lacking in your digestive apparatus
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements nee
essary to digestion and when placed
at work in the weak stomach and small
fntestfnes, supply what these organs
and gradually bring the digestive organs
back to their normal condition.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been
subjected to critical chemical tests at
home and abroad and are found to con-
tain nothing but natural digestives.
