LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE
ITS OWN WAY.
Do Not Try to Drive and Force It t
Work When it Is Mot Able or You
W ill SnBer All the More.
You cannot treat your stomach as soma
men treat a bulky horse; force, drive or
even starve it into doing work at wnich it
it rebels. The stuiuucn Is a patient and
faitiilul servant and will stand much abuse
and Ill-treatment before it "balks," but
when ll does you had belter go aw with
it and not attempt to make It work. Some
poopio have the mistaken idea that lliuy
can make their stomachs work by starving
themselves. They mignt cure the hloniauti
that way, but It would take so lung that
they would have no use for a stomach
when they got through. Thu sensible way
out ot the difficulty is to let the klumach
rest if it wants to and employ a substitute
to do its work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do the
work of your stomach for you and digest
your food Just as your stomach used to
when It was well. You tan prove this by
putting your food In a gluss Jar with one
of the tablets and sufficient water and you
will see the food digested In Just '.tc same
time as the digestive fluid or the stom
ach would do it. That will satisfy yodr
mind. Now, to satisfy both your mind
and body, take one of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after eating eat all and vtat you
want and you will feel In your mind that
your food is being digested because you
will feet no disturbance or weight in your
stomach; In fact you will forget all about
having a stomach. Ju.i as you dlj when
you were a healthy boy or girl.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act In a na
tural way because they contain only the
natural elements of the gastric Juices
and other digestive fluids of the stomach.
It makes no difference what condition in
noma h is In, they go right ahead of their
own accord and do their work. They know
their business ana surrounding conditions
do not Influence them In the least. They
thus relieve me wraa stomach of ail Its
burdens and give It its much needed rest
and pertnu n iu ueoome strong and

fired one shot, hut It went wild. The robber
fell to the platform as soon us struck by
Johnson. Two of the robber's pals then
rushed up and attacked Johnson, but he
fought them off and managed to get inside
the door of the depot. He then turned off
the lights and telephoned up town for the
marshal. It was some little time before
the mnrshal arrived and during the interim
the robbera went Into the waiting room nnd
attempted to effect an entrance to the
office part where Johnson waa locked In.
but failed to make connections. They car
rled their pal away and concealed him
somewhere and later he Is supposed to
have come to, as a diligent search of all
the boxcars and various hiding places about
the depot failed to reveal the robbers.
