THE HEALTH II ADIT.
i
Jimt n Ej In I'orni n Any Other.
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits but they arc unconscloucly acquired,
and grow aiuwc grow, and by the time we
learn they are hurting us, we find them too
strong to be easily broken.
Then, w hy not form a good habit, a habit
which will counteract tho many bad ones.
In other words contract the unfashionable
habit of being always well.
The best health habit to get Into ts to
have and keep a vigorous stomach. If you
have a healthy digestion you can drink your
bleved coffet. smoke your favorite brand
of tobacco. ;:!. l;.;U cr harm, the mis
chief begins when these things are forced
upon tbe faithful stomach, without any as
klfcttnce. Form tho habit of taklug after meals
some haimiess but cCicUtut digestive which
will relieve the stomach of so much extra
vork.
Nature furnishes us with such digestives
uai when they are combined In such a
pleasant preparation as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, tbey give the overworked stomach
just the necessary assistance to secure per
fect digestion without any of j.he harmful
effects ot cathartics end similar drugs. .
The habit of taking Stuart's DyspepMc
Tablets after meals is as necessary to the
vcak rtoroarh as food itself, and indeed to
get the benefit from food eaten, nothing
better ana certainly nothing safer can le
wed.
Many families consider Stuart's Tablets
tU' essential In tbe house as knives and
forks.
They consist entirely of natural digestive
principles without tbe effect or character
I it Us of drugs; tbey have no cathartic ac
tios, but simply go to work on the food
eaten and digest it.
Take into account your bud habits and
the expense they entail and then Invest
fifty rente in a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and see If your digestion for tbe
next month is not vastly improved.
Ask the clerk In any drug store the name
ot the most successful and popular stomach
remedy and he will say Stuart's.
