Remember that in the summer time.
when your fowls have free range and
are laying heavily, they have access TO
a considerable amount of meat food,
including worms, bugs, files. etc. when

essential that YOU provide them with
some kind of meat food as n part OF

If You Could Only
Be a Stomach

You'd Go to Bed Rather Sore at
the Work You'd Have to DO.
Fancy a master that works a
horse so long, without rest, that
the poor old beast at last has to
go to a-bone pile.
Fancy yourself doing the same
thing with your stomach--the
noblest of all our physical or
gans.
Just imagine yourself devoting
hours of ceaseless work to the di-
gestion of a meal which you can
not digest because of wrongful in
gradients given to you by the
blood.
Is not a man very foolish to
imagine a raw sick stomach ca
pable of good work when the
juices ii receives are so filled with
alkali or acid that they actually
eat the stomach membrane?
Do you not know from q COM
mon sense point of view that ito
continue such a course means not
only the impairment of your stom-
ach but of all digestive organs as
well?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go
into your stomach just like food.
They are so powerful in health
giving qualities that almost in
stantly the work of digestion is
improved. They ease up the stom-
ach's work. They go into the
blood and balance it perfectly.
Thus, when the stomach calls for
new juices at your next meal you
are able to furnish them.
I Your common sense will tell
you that SO great an aid to diges-
ton as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
could not be in every drug store,
unless demanded after trial by
all classes of stomach sufferers.
No more are they a doubtful
quality. They have passed a
rigid examination by all manner
of stomach and digestive tests,
and they have been awarded the
diploma of American patronage.
Theirs has been the practical
test.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
for sale at all druggists at soc a
