NOBODY IS EXEMPT
A Now Preparation Whleli Everyone
Will Need. Sooner or Lntor.
Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and tho common
est thing they do for it Is to take some
one of tho many so-called blood puri
fiers, which In many cases aro merely
strong cathnrtlcs. Buch things nro not
needed. If tho organs are In n clogged
condition, they need only a little help
nnd they will right themselves. Cathar
tics Irritate the sensitive linings of tho
stomach nnd bowels and often do more
hnrm than good.
Purging l not what Is needed. The
thing to do Is to put the food In con
dition to bo readily digested and as
similated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
do this perfectly. They partly digest
what Is eaten and give the stomach
just tho help it needs. They stimulate
tho secretion and excretion of tho di
gestive fluids and relievo the congested
condition of the glands nnd mem
branes. They put the whole digestive
system In condition to do Its work.
When that Is done you need take no
more tablets, unless you cat what does
not agree with you. Then take one or
two tablets give them needed help and
you will have no trouble.
It's a common sense medicine and a
common sense treatment and It will
cure every time. Not only cure the dis
ease, but cure the cause. Goes about
It In a perfectly sensible and scientific
way.
We have testimonials enough to fill a
book, but we don't publish many of
them. However Mrs, 13. M. Faith, of
Byrd's Creek, Wis., says:
"I have taken nil the Tablets I got of
you and they have done their .work
well In my case, for I feel like a differ
ent person altogether. I don't doubt If
I had not got them I should have been
at rest by this time."
H. E. Wlllnrd, Onslow, In., says:
"Mr. White, of Canton, was telling mo
of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him
of Dyspepsia, from which he suffered
for eight years. As I am a sufferer
myself I wish you to send me a pack
ago by return mail." ,
Phil Brooks, Detroit, Mich., says:
"Your Dyspepsia cure has worked won
ders In my case. I suffered for years
from dyspepsia, but am now entirely
cured and enjoy life ns I never have
before. I gladly recommend them."
It will cost E0 cents to find out just
how much Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will help you. Try them that's tho
best way to decide.
