Thousands of Pcopio Have Dyspopiln in Its Wont Form nud Do Not Know It, A weak stomach Is the causo of about nine-tenths of all disease, yet In most cases the wrong thing Is troatcd and the true cause overlooked. This Is becauso n. weak digestion pro duces symptoms resembling nearly every disease because it weakens and disturbs the action of evory norvo and organ In the body; poor digestion causes heart trouble, kidney troubles, lung weakness and especially nervous broak down or nervous prostration, the nerves cannot stand tho wear and tear unless generously fed by well digested, wholesome food. Keep the digestion good and no ono need fear tho approach of disease. Mrs. II. M. Lee, of Rochester, N. Y., writes: For the sako cf suffering human ity I want to say that from a child 1 haJ a very weak stomach, threw up my food very often after eating and after a fow years nervous dyspepsia resulted and for moro than twenty years I havo suf fered Inexpressibly. I tried many physicians and advertised remedies with only temporary relief for nervous dyspepsia and not until I com menced taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets last September, six months ago, havo I been free from suffering caused by tho condition of my nerves and stomach; In short, chronic nervous dyspepsia. I have recommended Stuart's DyspepBla. Tablets to many of my friends, and now I want in a public way to say they are tho safest, plcasantest and I believe surest cure for stomach and nerve troubles. I wrlto my honest opinion and I wilt gladly answer any letter of inquiry at any tlmo and feel that I am, in my small way, help ing on a good cause.
