A PECULIAR FACT.
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.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is not a pat
ent medicine, but they contain only tho
fruit salts, digestive acids and peptones
necessary to help tho weak stomach to
promptly and thoroughly digest food.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at CO cents for full sized package
and anyone suffering from nervous dys
pepsia, sour stomach, headaches, acidity,
gases, belching, etc., will find them not
only a quick reliof but a radical cure.
Send to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., for
little book describing causo and euro of
stomach troubles giving symptoms and
treatment of the various forms of Indiges
tion. THE MARKETS.
