SOUK STOMACH (Acid Dyspepsia)
Now Recognized as tho Causo of
Sorious Diseases,
Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called
heart-burn or sour stomach, Is a form
of Indigestion resulting from fermenta
tion of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest It, the food
remains until fermentation begins, fill
ing the stomach with gns, nnd a bitter,
sour, burning teisto In the mouth la
often prc3ont. This condition soon be
comes chronic nnd being nn every day
occurrence? Is given but little attention.
Because Dyspepsia Is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
it Is now well known among able
physicians that the whole constitution
Is gradually undermined nnd weakened,
that the nerves nnd vital organu are
seriously affected by any form of dys
pepsia. Thlo Is plain, as every organ,
cvory neive In the body Is nourished
by the blood and the blood Is replen
ished from the food digested. If the
foodIs properly digested the blood Is
puiertlio nerves strndy, but If supplied
from a sour, fermenting, decaying mns.i
the blood Is vitiated, poisoned nnd tho
rebult Is shown In sleeplessness, lack of
cnergs", poor appetite, nervousness.
Every trifle Is magnified nnd the dys
peptic soph nothing but the dark side of
everything.
Within a recent period a remedy litis
been discovered prepared solcls to euro
ilS'spepil.'i and stomach troubles, it Is
known ns Stuart's Dj-ppepsln. Tablets
and jt is now becoming rapldlv used
unci prescribed as a radical cure for
every foim of d.spepsl,i.
It is not claimed to chip anything ex
cept dyspepsia and btnmich weakness
In lis various forms, hut lor this It has
been shown to be tinequnllcd. The emi
nent specialists, Reed and O'Erarv,
have recently stated that they consid
ered Stuart's D.vspcpsla Tablets an un
failing specific for disorders of the di
gestive organs, and tho remark iblo
cures made In rnscs of long standing
dyspepsia proves that till i remedy lins
extraordinary merit.
S Hurl's Dsspepsli Tablet!! have been
placed before the public and are sold
bv druggists everywhere it 50 cents
per package, and while It pioinptly and
effectually restores a vlgoious diges
tion, at tho bamrj time is peifcctly
harmless and will not injure the most
delicite stomach, but on the eontiary
by giving perfect digestion, strengthens
the stomach, improves the appetite and
makes life worth living.
