Not n l'ntcut Cure-nil, Nor n Modern Miracle, Hut Siuipl) n Rational Cure for Dispepslu. In theso days of humbuggery nnd de ception, the manufacturers of patent medicines, ns a rule, seem to think their medicines will rjt sell unless they claim that It vvll cure oveiy disease under the sun. And they never think of leaving out dyspepsia nnd stomach tioubles. They are sure to claim that their nostiuni Is absolutely certain to euro eveij- dyspeptic and ho need look no fuither. In tho face of those absurd claims it is lefieslting to note that the propile tots of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have caiefullj- lotralned from making ant undue claims or false repiesentations legnidlng the motlts of tills most ex cellent leinedy for djspepsta and stom ach tioubles. Thoy make but one claim fot it, and that Is, that for indigestion nnd various stomach troubles Stuait's Dyspepsia Tablets is a radical cure. They no no farther than this and any man or woman suffeilnsr from Indi gestion, chronic or net volts dyspepsia, who will give the remedy n ttlnl will find that nothing Is claimed for It, that the facts will not fully sustain. It Is a modem discovery, composed of haimless vegetable Ingiedlents ac ceptable to tho weakest or most deli cate stomach.
