WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA?

Among the many symptoms
Of Dyspepsia or indigestion
the most prominent are: Va
riable appetite; faint, gnawing
feeling at pit Of the stomach,
with unsatisfed craving for
food; heartburn, feeling Of
weight and wind in the stom-
ach, bad breath, bad taste in
the mouth, low spirits, general
prostration, headache, and
constipation. There is no form
Of disease more prevalent than
Dyspepsia, and none so pecul-
lar to the high-living and rap
id-eating American people.
Alcohol and tobacco produce
Dyspepsia; also, bad air, rapid
eating, etc. BURD0CK BLOOD

case, by regulating the bowels
and toning up the digestive
organs, Sold everywhere.

Let "Pica" soak his head in the ink
vat. 1t is sadly swelled. The "devas-
tated frontier" of the United States, and
the Canadian soil ''sodden with the
hearts hloed of the best citizens of the
Republic" are nice phrases; but they
provoked nothing but laughter down
here.
Let us speak seriously, gentlemen of
Canada and Great Britain. We started
in business with thirteen little colonies
stretched along the Atlantic Coast, new
er dreaming that we should want any
thing more. The glorious liberty of our
institutions brought the world to our
door; and it became necessary for us to
grow. We took i'm from France Louis
lana and the half-continent lying west
of the Mississippi. Then we took from
Spain the Floridas and the CALIFORNIA;.
Then we gobbled in Texas. Later, we
extended Texas to the Rio Grande and
took all the other Mexican territory in
our circuit, including Utah. Then we
bought Alaska from Russia. And now
we want Canada; and we are going to
have it. Very likely there will be a
quarrel over it. The object of the En-
Quirer is to prepare and educate our
people for that quarrel. Let US get
ready. 1t IS sure to come; and sure to
come quiokly.-Enquirer.

Two Hungarian noblemen played fairy

young Liszt to himself

played before all the crowned heads of Eu-

before he knew it he was taking part in
a spirited heat, in which the stranger
came off second best. On reaching q
bit of rough road, both slowed up, and
the stranger sung out:
''That's a good mare you've got my
friend. Does she belong to you?"
"No," replied Mr.; she belongs
to my Master"
"Who's he?"
''The Lord" was the response.
"Then 1 guess you you don't trot her

Liver Complaint. .

Yes; you may we'll say complaint"
for If there is anything makes poor
mortal complain, itis to have his liver
out of order. The liver is the great
scavenger of the body. 1t gathers up
refuse, works it into bile, and then
works the bile off. 1t has heavy con-
tract; and sometimes fails. Then there
is a general disturbance. That distur-
bance is quieted by taking Browns Iron
Bitters. Mr.. w. A. Brown, of MARSHALL
town, Iowa, says, Browns Iron Bitters
relieved me of liver complaint after
other remedies had failed"

The Boy and The Bull Dog.

Once upon time certain little
boy Observed his sister curling her
hair around hot poker, and when
he saw her golden ringlets twist up
like Georgia pine shavings, what he
considered an over bright Idea struck
Him.
The folks next door say their pug
is better than our bull dog, because
it's tail curls over it's back so tight.
I'll just curl the bull dogs tail now,
and run him up and down in front of
their house, and make them feel
Mean
So he called the dog, and heated
the poker until it was almost red in
order to get good curl. Grasping
the dogs tail, he quickly wound it
around the poker; but it was not
wound around the poker half as
quickly as the dog was wound around
the boy. He picked him up by the
small of the back, and shook him out
of his clothes, and left nothing on
him but his freckles and look of ter
ror. The boy was then obliged to
lie in bed until his father could At
ford to get him a new suit of clothes,
which was month later
The moral of this little fable teach
es us two things; first, that bright,
original ideas are dangerous in the
hands Of people who don't know how
to use them, and, second, that when
we experiment with bull dog, we
should muzzle him before beginning.

Which Was The Brute!

An English sportsman in the Zoo
logical Gardens of the queen became
enraged at a valuable hound that had
failed him in some performance, and
beat it and bruised it most unmerci-
fully. To make an end of the pun
ishment he seized and thrust him
through the bars ola lions cage. He
expected, of course, that the beast
would at once spring upon him and
crush him as thing of prey But
what was his chagrin as he saw the
lion come up to the dog with a SEEM
ing look of compassion, and begin to
lick his wounds. He then relented
d little, and thought he would like
his dog again, So he, changing his
voice, called the bleeding animal by
name to come out But he did not
come. He whistled for him very ia
military, he coaxed very affectionate
ly. ALREADY he had lain down beside
the lion and seemed quite content
with his new sympathizing friend
Still he called, then he commanded,
then he threatened, then he stormed
in impetuous tone. The dog paid no
attention to him. "Mr. Keeper, to
punish my dog for displeasing me 1
put him into this cage and cannot
get him out. VIII you please help
me' He is very valuable dog, and
l desire to take him away" You
put him in the cage, did you ~ II
did, sir" 'gThen, sir, you may get

A Fable.

A sick farmer had an obstinate COW
which he wished to get to market
On consulting his neighbors he re-
ceived the following advice: The
carpenter said he'd have screw dri-
yer; the furniture man said let bu-
reau drawer; small boy offered to
holler; the newspaper man said let
an editorial leader; the postmaster
suggested having a letter carrier 4;
the village topper wanted to do his
part, and offered to take a horn; the
pickle vendor thought little gherkin
would start her. Meantime the far
mer expired of exhastion, and the
cow died of grief.
This fable teaches that the posibili-
ties of the English language are
great.

England has now SIS, 900, 900 invested in
