Later Moore said that the figure one was scratched over and the figures seven and eight restored in an- other handwriting.

A LAW UNTO HIMSELF. His Health and Digestion. There are thousands of people in this world would eat no meat from one year s end to another, and certain savage tribes in Africa and Polynesia are almost ex- clusively meat eaters: but while there are thousands of these, there are millions who live upon a mixed diet of meat, vegetables and grains, and if numbers is a critert. it would seem that a mixed diet is the best for the human family. The fact that you will ind many vege- tarians who appear healthy and vigorous and meat eaters equally so, and any num ber of robust specimens who eat b meat and vegetables and anything els that comes their way all goes to show that the old saw is the true one, at every man must be a law to himself as to what he shall eat and drink. To repair the waste of tissue in brain workers as well as to replace the muscle and sinew of the laborer, can only bs dona through the process of digestion. Every nerve, muscle, sinew, every drop of bleod, is extracted from the food we cat and digest. In these days of hustle and worry, and artificial habits of life, scarcely one pe son in a thousand can lay claim to a pe fest digestion: dyspepsia is a national af- fliction and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a national blessing. Most cases of poor digestion are cau by failure of the stomach to secrete s ficient gastric julce, or too little hydro- chloric acid and lack of peptones, ax-.d’a 1 of these important essentials to perfect digesticn are found in Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets in convenient palatable form. One or two of these tablets taken after meals insure perfect digestion and assim- ilation of the food. Cathartic pills and laxative medicines have no effect whatever in digesting fc and to call such remedies a cure dyspepsia is far fetched and absurd. ‘Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets contain pep- sin free from animal matter, diastase other digestives, and not only digest wholesome food, but tend to increase flow of gastric jule nd by givin weak stomach a much needed rest bring about a healthy condition of the digestive organs and a normal appetite. Nervous, thin-blooded, run-down peopls should bear in mind that drugs and st ulants cannot furnish good blood, stre muscle and steady nerves; these coma only from wholesome food, thoroughiy digested. A fifty-cent box of Stuart's Tablets taken after meals for a few weeks will do you more real good than drugs, stimulants and_dieting combined Stuart’s Dyspepsia_Tablets is probab the safest, most popular and succe: digestive on the market, and sold by dr gists everywhere in_the United States, Canada and Great Britain. ’ DR.
