Dli. WURTIFS OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY
MEDICINE.
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

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
