PLAN OF GEORGIAN’S POPULAR VOTING CONTEST Appendicitis Hovf To Avoid It and Escape a Rurgioal Operation, Told By One who Knows. A Simple Method That Is Always Effiosclous. It ha* only been a few year* since It was discovered that a surgical opera tion would euro appendicitis; in fact. It has been but a snort time since the disease was discovered and named. Whenever there Is nn Inflamed con dltlon of tho appendix, caused by Im pacted faeces In the small cavity open ing Into the Intestine, you then have appendicitis. The older doctors used to call this In. fiammqtlon of the bowels, and were puxxlcd to know the cause. Even non*, with all the knowledge we have of the disease, no medical man can tell you why we should have an appendix, why we find It, where It le, or what are Its functions, If It has any. The disease for which the operation la a cure le usually caused by Indigos* tlon, and In many cases follows a large and Indigestible meal. Physicians have until recently rec ommended an operation, hut now as It Is known that It Is caused by Indiges tion. or dyspepsia, a cure without an operation is assured. Where the patient ts treated with 8tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, th* un healthy conditions prevailing rapidly disappear, the stomach and Intestines are placed back In their normal condi tion. every organ of the body operate* a* It should, nnd the Inflammation Is reduced and the operation Is avoided. Conscientious physicians, who are looking after the best Interests of their patients, will always keep a supply of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy In their office, where In cases of sudden attacks of Indigestion they can relieve the patient at once. There I* no record of U case of ap. pendicltls where the stomach and bowels were in a healthy condition and properly digested the food from meal to meal. No better advice can be given to any one who has attacks, of Indigestion, or who has been threatened with appen dicitis, than to tell him to go to the drug store, pay 30 cents, and take home a package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tat latte Whenever heartburn, gas In stom ach or bowels, heart disease or stomach troubles, sour emotions, acidity or fer mentation are present, act at once. Take a dose of the Tablets and vet re lief as soon as possible. At all drussUtt—50 cents. Bend ns your name and address to day and we will at once send you by mall a sample package free. Address F.
