The Stomach Does Not Cause Dyspepsia Neither Will It Cure It Because the Lack of Gastric Juices Pro- hibits Relief. The stomach is a strong, powerful or gan, which is composed of muscles of great strength. It Is filled during di gestion with gastric juices which, when the stomach, extending and compress ing the food, dissolve It and aeparate the nourishment from the waste matter. If, however, these gastric juices are lacking, the stcmac.U is not capable of digesting Its food because It has not the tools With which to work (success fully. The gastric juices when In a perfect state do away with all foul odors, fer mentation and decay, reduce the food to a disintegrated mass and the stom ach then presses It into the Intestines where another form or digestion takes place. Then the intestines take from this mass of food all that Is nourish ing and give it to the blood. The waste matter la thrown from the system. If instead of nourishment the in testines receive Impure deposits com bined with a poisonous and Imperfect gastric juice, it can be readily seen that they must turn such Imperfect nourishment into the blood. The blood then being unable to give each part of the body that which It requires, becomes impoverished and disease is spread broadcast- Stuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets corrects such a condition at once. If the gastric juices aro lacking and imperfect these tablets do their, work just the same. They build up the elements in the juice which are lacking and remove those elements which cause disturb ance. Meat, grains, fluids, vegetables and delicacies, in fact . each portion of a large meal have been placed in a glass vlai and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have digested them to a perfect fluid just as & healthy stomach would do. A large complex, hearty meal holds no terrors for a dyspeptic if Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used. Abnormal eatins. lata dinners, rich foods cause ill effects to the stomach, but when Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta are used one may eat when and what one will with out danger cf dyspepsia or discomfort.
