WHAT GOES DP
Must Come Down,
NothWig is more certain than that
the Use of so called tonics, stltnulantH
and medicines, which depend upon al
cohol for their effect, Is Injurious to
health in tho long run.
What goes up must come down nnd
the elcvntlon of splrltB, the temporary
exhilaration resulting from a dose of
medicine containing alcohol, will cer
tainly be followed In a few hours by
a corresponding depression to relieve
which another dose must bo taken.
In other words, many liquid patent
medicines derive their effect entirely
from tho alcohol they contain.
Alcohol, and medicines containing It,
are temporary stimulants and not In
any sense a true Ionic. In fact, It is
doubtful If any medicine or drug Is a
renl tonic.
A true tonic Is something which will
renew, replenish, build up tho exhaust
ed nervous system and wasted tissues
of the body, something that will en
rich the blood and endow It with the
proper proportions of red and while
corpuscles, which prevent or destroy
disease germs. This Is what a real
tonic should do nnd no drug or ulco
hollc Btimulant WILL, do It.
The only true tonic In nature Is
wholesome fond, thoroughly digested.
Kvery particle of nervous energy,
every minute muscle, fibre and drop of
blood Is created dally from the food
we digest.
The mere eating of food has little to
do with the repair of waste tissue Inn.
the perfect digestion of the food eaten
has HVKItY THING to do with It.
The reason so few people have per
fect digestion Is because from wrong
habits of living the stomach has grad
ually lost the power to secrete the gas
tric juice, peptones and acids In suffi
cient fjunntlty.
To cure Indigestion nnd stomach
troubles It is necessary to take after
meals some harmless preparation
which will supply the natural peptone
and dinstaso which every weak stom
ach lacks, and probably the best pre
paration of this character is Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may bo
found in every drug store and which
contain in pleasant palatable form tho
wholesome peptone and diastase which
nature requires for prompt digestion.
One or two of these excellent tablets
taken after meals will prevent sour
ing, fermentation and acidity and in
sure complete digestion nnd assimila
tion. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are equal
l. valuable for little children as for
adults, as they contain nothing harm
ful or stimulating but only the natural
digestives.
One of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will digest 1.S00 grains of meat, eggs
or other wholesome food, and they are
in every sense a genuine tonic because
they bring about in the only natural
way a restorative of nerve power, a
building up of lost tissue and appetite,
in tile only way It can bo done J1Y
THE DIOKSTJON AND ASSIMILA
TION' OP WHOLESOME FOOD.

was duo to heart failure, and ho had
also suffered from u fractured lib. How
this was caused has not been explained.
