Tricked by Dyspepsia The Doctor Couldnt Tell When the Trouble Lay. - -"For- the-ast sevjryears " I "hsve been a 'Victim of dyspepsia and chronlo constipation and have consulted the moat noted specialists to be found en dlseaaea of thla character. - Kone. how ever, aeemed to locate the difficulty or give relief. In addition to this medical treatment, I have reaorted to the use of many remedies and have given them faithful trial, but alt te no purpose. - Upon the recommendation of a close friend, I purchased a -COo package ot Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and In less than flv days noticed that I waa re ceiving more benefit than from any remedy I had used before. I continued to use the tablets after each meal for ene month "and by that time my atom sob was In a healthy condition, capable of -digesting, anything which Jmy . in creasing appetite demanded. I have-not . exprlied anyreturn of my former trouble, though three months have elapsed since' taking your remedy," We .wish that you could see -with your own eyes the countless other bona fide signed . letters from grateful men and women all over the land who had suffered yesrs of agony with dys pepsia, tried every known remedy and consulted eminent specialists without result, until they gsve Stuart's Dys pepsia Tableta a trial. . Like the doctor above, they couldn't locate the seat of the trouble. Dyspepsia Is a dlasase ' which has long baffled ptfysiclsns. So difficult of location la the disease -that cure seems next to mlraculoua. There Is only one way to treat dyspepsia to supply the elements which nature has ordained to perform this . function and to cause them to enter the digestive organ a, supplying the fluids which they lack. Stuart's Dyspepsia - Tablets alone fill these requirements, as la shown by the fact ' that 40,000 physicians In the United States and Canada unite In rec ommending them to their patients for stomach disorders. Ws do "not claim or eYpeclBtuarrs Dyspepsia Tablets to cure anything but disordered- conditions of the stomaoh and . other digestive organa, . but thla they never fall to do. They work upon the inner lining of the atomach and intestines, stimulate the gastrle glands and aid In the secretion of. Juices nec essary to digestion. " .
