GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
Tho Kesult of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.
Hvery living thing, plant or animal,
contnlns within Itself the germs of cer
tain decay and death,
in the human body these germs ot
disease and death (called by scientists
J'tomalncs) arc usually the result of
Imperfect digestion of food, the result
of Indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from iibtie. weakness,
does not piomptly and thoroughly di
gest the food. The result Is a heavy,
sodden mnss which ferments (the first
process of decay), poisoning the blood,
making It thin, weak and lacking in red
corpuscles; poisoning tho brain, caus
ing headaches and pain In the eyes.
Und digestion lultutep the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on dlsense ot this very Important
organ
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Mrlcht's disease nnd diabetes.
And this Is so because every organ,
eveiy neive depends upon tho stomach
alone for nourishment nnd renewal, and
wcuk digestion shows Itself not only In
loss of appetite and flesh, but In weak
nerves nnd muddy complexion.
The gloat Hngllsh scientist, Huxley,
snld the best start In life Is a sound
ptomnch. Weak stomachs fall to digest
food piopciiy. because they lack the
propoi quantity of digestive nclds (lac
tic and hyeliochloilc) and jeptogenlc
products; the most sensible lemedy In
nil cases of Indigestion, Is to take after
each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, because they supply in
a pleasant, harmless form all the ele
ments that weak stomachs lack.
The icgular Ube of Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets will cure eveiv form of
stomach trouble except cuncer of the
stomach.
They Inciease flesh, insure pure blood,
stiong neives, w bright eye nnd cleur
complexion, because all these lesult
only from wholesome food well di
gested Nearly all druggists sell Stuait't)
