A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Ef fectual Cure for It. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. Tin* usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accom panied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; headaches, tickle ap petite, nervousness and a general play ed out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the month, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure* of this common and ob stinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mqfous surfaces of tin* stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do ami when norm al digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Hr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diatasc. Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now Im* found at all drug stores under tin* name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can he used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Ilooher, of 2710 Dearborn street. Chicago, 111., writes: “Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the neglected cold in the head, whereby the throat reaches the stomach, thus produc ing catarrh of the stomaoh. Medical au thorities prescribed for me ter three years ter catarrh of stomach without cure, bat to-day I tun the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro priate words to express my good feeling. 1 have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.” Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is the saf est preparation its well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.
