If you ever feel distressed after eating be sure to take a Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet. For no matter what you eat there will be no gas, no sour risings, no lump in your throat, no biliousness ,no dark brown taste in the morning. And should you now be troubled, eat'a tablet as soon as pessible and relief will come promptly. These tablets correct at once the faults of a weak or over- worked stomach, they do. the work while the stomach rests and recovers itself. Particularly effective are they for banqueters and those whose en- vironment brings them in contact with ithe rich food most apt to cause stom- @ch derangement.
