But &t Har Provem of Value to Thou Common sense would suggest that it gne wishes to become fleshy and plump it can only, result from the fod we eat and digest and that food should be albuminous or flesh forming food, like eggs, beefsteak and cereals; in other words, the kinds of food that make flesh are the focds which form the greater part of our daily bills of fare. But the trouble ls that while we eat enough, and generally too much, the stom- ach, from abuse and overwork, does not properly digest and assimilate it, which is the reason so many people remain thin and | under welght; the digestive organs do not completely digest the flesh forming beef- | steak and eggs and similar wholesome | food. | There are thousands of such who are really confirmed dyspeptics, although they may have no particular paln or incon- venlence from their stomachs. 1t such persons would lay their preju- | dices aside and make a regular practice of taking after each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food would and thoroughly digested, be- tablets contain the natural pep- and disstase which every weak stomach lacks, and by supplying this want the stomach is soon enabled to regain its natural tone and vigor. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of flesh forming food meat, egg3, bread and potatoes, and this is the reason they ®0 quickly bulld up, strengthen and in- wigorate thin, dyspeptic men, women and children. Iovalide and children, even the most dell- cate, use them with marked benefit as they contain no strong irritating drugs, no ca- thartic nor any harmful ingredient. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets Is the most successful and most widely known of any remedy for stomach troubles, because it Is the most reasonable and scientific of mod- ern medicines. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by every druggist in the United States and Canada as well as In Great Britain, at 50 cents for complete treatment. Notbing further is required to cure any stomach trouble or to make t! Bervous, Ayspeplic people strong. plump and well.
