A doctor's bill is in cluded In the claim: Stomach Sufferers Squander Millions In Search of Relief. Trial Package, :of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Free ' The .world is full of disordered stom achs and 90 per cent of the money spent; upon physicians and drug stores in an attempt to- cure . the stomach. ""■ People- are made, to believe ; that in order to gain health, they must doctor their-stomachs and use cathartics. So the doctor gets his fee for the stomach treatment and the druggist for the physic, until the savings of a life time are exhausted and yet no cure. JiSKKSSii Let's be reasonable. JMPWBBWSW The sick stomach is In every case the result of over eating, hurried mas tication and improper choice of food.=. The mucuous lining all the way down -thf. food tract loses Its sensitiveness, and ■* -when food *is .' forced down i the muscles fail to respond. They do not churn ■ the food as they should.- -The glands no longer give out gastric Juice to dissolve the food and render it cap able of,assimilation. The man has be come a dyspeptic. There is one sure way and only one to bring positive relief. - Put in- that stomach of yours the very elements that it lacks to get that food into liquid form. '-.It takes,pepsin, diastase,: golden seal and other ferments to accomplish this. The healthy stomach - contains these elements. The dyspeptic stomach lacks part or all of them. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet is made up of just what the dyspeptic stomach lacks— nature's digestives. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a medicine, not a drug, not a cathartic. They do not cure anybody of anything but Dyspepsia and Indigestion and such ailments as arise from poorly digested food. i4BI_-MQbo_Hßj While they digest the food the stom ach recuperates. The mucuous mem brane is coming out of Its stupor, {he gastric juice is coming to the surface, the muscles are regaining their power. Every organ of the body takes on new life, the skin gains color, and the eves are no longer tinged with yellow. You live.-'"./ ■■'--''' -.•.■--.."' ■ Why doctor and why drug yourself?
