IN A Remarkably Successful llmedy for Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Stomach Troubles. Dr. Wurth In commenting on lecent dlscoveiles In medicine, said: There la none which Is certain to be so vnluablo and far-renchlng In benefit as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, tho new stomach remedy; 1 say far reaching, because people little rcallo how Important a sound stomach and vigorous digestion Is lo nvnrv mnn. unman and child. Indigestion Is the starting point of rnnanmi-iHnii llnnrf lllsenpp. ltrlfrllt's .....J.WV.., ...-.. , -c. disease, diabetes, nervous prostration, liver troubles; why Is this so? Simply because every nerve, muscle and tissue In our bodies Is created and nourished from the food we eat. If that food Is, by lea son of a weak stomach, com pelled to He for hours, n sour, ferment ing mass of half digested food. It pois ons the blood nnd nervous system, cre ates gas which distends the stomach and bowels, causing pressure on the heart, lungs nnd other organs, and seil ously Impeding their action He says further, the point to direct attention Is not the neivcs, nor heart, nor lungs.nor kidneys, but tho stomach, the lit ft cause of all the mischief. The remedy to use for Indigestion and weak stomachs Is not some cathartic, but n leinedy which will digest the food, Increase tho How of gastric Juice, absorb the gases, and Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets will accomplish exactly this result in any case of stomach trouble, because these tablets aie composed of the digestive acids, nseptlc pepsin, Golden Seal and bismuth, pleasant to taste, and not being a patent medicine, can be us-vd by anyone with perfect safety 1 believe Stuait's Dyspepsia Tablets will cuie any form of indiges tion and stomach trouble except cancer of stotnai h Full slj-e packages of Stuait's Dys pepsia Tablets ale sold by diugglsts at 50 cents' or by mail fiom F.
