They Cure 8tom«oh Trouble* and Indiges tion Anyway, Whether You Have Faith tn Them or Not. All physicians agree that the ele ment of faith has a great deal to do in the cure of disease Firm belief and confidence in a fam ily physician or the same confidence and faith in a patent medicine have produce remarkable cures in all ages. This is especially true in nervous troubles and no field offers so prolific a harvest for the quack and charlatan as the diseases arising from a weak or run iown nervous system. Nevertheless, the most common of all diseases, indigestion and stomach troubles, which in turn cause nervous diseases, heart troubles, consumption and loss of flesh, requires something besides faith to cure. Mere faith will not digest your food for you, will not give you an appetite, will not increase your flesh and strengthen your nerves and heart, but Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will do these things, because they are com posed of the elements of digestion, they contain . the juices, acids and pepstones necessary to the digestion and assimilation of all wholesome food. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will di gest food if placed in ajar or bottle in water heated to 98 degrees, and they will do it much more effectively when taken into the stomach after meals, whether you have faith that they will or not. They invigorate the stomach,'make pure blood and strong nerves, in the only way that nature can do it, and that is, from plenty of wholesome food well digested. It is not what we eat, but what we digest that does us good. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents for full sized package.
