Over-Eating Worse Than Starvation \ Seien Deaths Arise From This Canse To One Of Lack Of Food. A Trial Paeknge of Stuart* Dyspepsia Tablet* Sent Free. An Knjrlish medical observer claims that for one death due to starvation there are seven from overeatinsr. His investigation is appalling and leads one to believe that amons the Anplo-Saxon race overeating is a na- tional crime. This" Investigation proves overeat- ing to be the cause in ten cases out of twelve of dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach trouble. These diseases brins on decay and, decline of the other organ* and death ensues because of an inability of the system to furnish proper nourishment to the dying and afflicted parts. When one overeats, one exhausts the gastric fluids, throws undigested food into the intestines, where it cre- ates poison and germ life and is finally absorbed In a putrid state or thrown from the system In a decaying form. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will over- come the ill effects of gluttony and irregular eating. They will digest an abnormal amount of food and will not leave the stomach until everything has been digested. A single one-grain ingredient of these tablets will digest S.OOO grains of food and in this proportion is seen how even srluttony can be overcome or at least its most harmful effects removed. Make up your mind to- try Stuarf* Dyspepsia Tablets for one week. Take a tablet after each meal and upon re- tiring at night. Every druggist car- ries them in stock: price 50c. If you have a druggist friend ask his opinion. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial paekase free by mall. Address F. A. Stuart Co., 150 IStnart RMsr.. Marshal!. Mich.
