Gin T0hIefG

One never grows too old to forget
the delights of eating. And yet old
people will sometimes play on
these memories and bring on dys-

age they. daily overcome or pre-.
vent the distresses due to indiges-
ton. They sweeten the stomach
by giving it the alkaline effect as
in health, they absorb the gases,
they lift off the feeling of heavi-
ness, they stop sour risings or
heartburn, they actually assist in
the digestion of food, and from all
points of view are one of the most
invaluable aids to health to be
found So, no matter what you
eat. if your stomach rebels, always
remember that a 60-cent box of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
keep your stomach sweet and thus
aid to prevent much of the distress
that comes late in life.
