Cathartic pilh never have and never will cure indigestion and stomach troubles —Why? Because tbey act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really the stomach. When the stomach is diseased, all thd other organs suffer. That is why fatal diseases of the heart, liver, kidneys and lungs are so often the diract result of indigestion. The use of one of Dr Sheldon's Digestive Tabules after each meal gives the stomach perfect rest, because they sontain all the natural digestants as found in a healthy stomach. This is a common-sense method of treating all stomach troubles, and the results are always certain. For sale by H. E. Eton, Chemist, Masterton, J.
