Not a Patent Cure All, Nor a Modern Miracle but €imply a Rational Curs for Dyspepsia. In these days of humbuggery and de- ception, the manufacturers of patent med- icines, as a rule, seem to think their med- | icines’ will not sell unless they claim that | it will cure every disease under the sun. And they never think of leaving out dys- pepsia and stomach troubles. They are sure to claim that their nostrum is abso- lutely certain to cure every dyspeptic and he need look no further. In the face of these absurd claims, it is refreshing to note that the proprietors of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have carefully refrained from making undue claims or false representations regarding the mer- its of this most excellent remedy for dys- pepsia and stomach troubles. They muke but one claim for it, and that is that for indigestion and various stomach troubles Stuart’s Dyspepsia_ Tablets is a radical cure. They go no farther than this, and any man or woman suffering from indi- gestion, chronic or nervous dyspepsia, who will give the remedy a trial will find that notning is claimed for it that the facts wiil not fully sustain. It is & modern discovery, composed of harmless vegetable ingredients acceptable | to the weakest or most delicate stomach. Its great success in curing stomach trou- bles is due to the fact that the medical properties are such that it will digest whatever wholesome food is taken into the stomach, no matter whether the stom- ach is in good working order or not. It rests the overworked organ and replen- iskes the body, the blood, the nerves, cre- ating a healthy appetite, gives refresh- ing sleep and the blessings which always accompany a good digestion and proper assimilation_of food. In using Stuart's DsleEDIll- Tablets no dieting is required. lm{ly eat plenty of wholesome food and take these Tablets at each meal, thus assisting and resting the stomach, which rapidly regains its proper digestive power, when the Tablets will be no longer required. Nervous Dyspepsia is slmply a condi- tion in which some portion or portions of the nervous system are not properly nour- ished. Good digestion invigorates the nesvoul system and every organ in the bedy. Any druggist will tell you Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets give universal satisfaction.
