A Reasonable Plea
For The Stomach
II Your Stomach Is Lacking in Dlgcs-
tive Power, Why Not Help the
Stomach Do Its Work?

/ Not with drugs, but with rein
1 forcement of digestive agents, such as
are naturally at work in the stomach
Scientific analysis shows that diges-
{tion requires pepsin, heterogeneous fer
ments, and the secretion of hydro
/ chloric acid. When your food fails
i 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 plac-
4 ed at work in the weak stomach and
small intestines, supply what these or.
gems need. They stimulate the gastric
glands and gradually bring the diges-
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 contain nothing but natural
digestives.
