Kvcry drop of blood, every bone, nerve
nnd tissue in tho body can bo renewed In
but one way, and that la, from wholesome
food properly digested. There la no othor
wny nnd tho Idea that n medicine In Itself
can purify tho blood or supply new tlssueu,
nnd strong nerves la rcdlculous and on a
par with tho fol-do-rol that dyspepsia or
Indigestion is n germ dlseaso or that other
falacy, that n weak stomach which refuses
to digest food run bo made to do so, by Ir
ritating nnd Inflaming the bowels by pills
nnd cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspopsla Tablets cure Indlges
tlon, sour stomach, gas or bloating after
meals, becauso they furnish tho dlgesttvo
principles which weak stomachs lack, and
unless tho deficiency of pepsin and diastase
is supplied U Is useless to attempt to cure
stomach troublo by tho use of "tonics"
"pills" nnd "cathartics" which hnvo ab

effect is to give n. temporary stimulation.
One grnln of tho active principle In Stu

this In a glass bottle at proper tempera

There is probably no remedy so univer
sally used as Stuart's Tablets becauso it is
not only tho sick and ailing, but well peo
ple who use them at every meal to Insuro
perfect digestion and nsslmllatlou of the
food.
People who enjoy fair health tako Stu
art's Tablets ns regularly as they tako
their meals, becauso they want to keop
well, prevention Is nlways better than cure
nnd Stuart's Dyspopsla Tablets do both;
they prevent Indigestion and they remove
It whero It exists. Tho regular use of ono
