INTENSE SUFFERING.
From Dyspepsia and Stomach Trou-
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not Patent Med.
icina

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting
account of what he considers a re-
markable cure of acute stomach
trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the
| use of the new discovery, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge
for years with dyspepsia. Every
thing he ate seemed to sour and Gre
ate acid and gases in the stomach; lie
had pains like rheumatism in the
| back, shoulder blades and limbs, full
| ness and distress after eating, poor
appetite and loss of flesh; the heart be-
came affected, causing palpitation
and sleeplessness at night.
/ gave him powerful nerve tonics
and blood remedies, but to no pur-
pose. AS an experiment I finally
bought a fifty cent package of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets at drug
store and gave them to him. Almost
immediate relief was given and after
he had used four boxes he was to all
appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after
meals, the appetite was vigorous and
he has gained between 10 and IL
Rounus IL weight VI sOllu, uealtny
flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are advertised and sold in drug
stores yet consider them q most val
liable addition to any physicians line
of remedies, as they are perfectly
harmless and can be given to children
or invalids or in any condition of the
stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but
vegetable and fruit essences, pure
pepsin and Golden Seal.
| Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges
tion, biliousness, constipation AMI all
arrangements of the stomach howev-
er slight or severe.
stuart't Dyspepsia Tablets are
made by the Stuart Co. of Marshall,
Mich, and sold by druggists every
where at fifty cents per package.

A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another
year when review is made of the
condition of affairs, it is only right
that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables every
one to battle with life's problem and
figure for themselves the profit or loss
on the trial balance sheet. Though
the bank account may be large and
each ones material gain be great, it
would not be surprising if it suddenly
dawns upon many that good health
has been greatly impoverished by the
low condition of the blood. 1t is in
this state that the Tactic acid in the
vital huid attacks the fibrous tissues,
particularly the joints, making
known the local manifestations Of
rheumatism. Thousands of people
have found in Hoods Sprsaparijla.
the great blood purifier, q positive
and permanent cure for rheumatism.

Activity Apparent Only Among Deal

New York. Dec. 7.-Bradstreet'ss says:
Business is still sluggish. as II gorged by
excessive indulgence of the appetite OF
buying when prices were advancing. In
nearly every branch stocks not yet distrib-
uted to consumers stand in the way of new
orders. and competition of a producing
force largely exceeding the present do
mand puts down prices, that decline re.
tarding purchases yet more. After the hol.
idays men look for larger demand. Finan-
cial influences have not hindered. and rnre-
ly has the opening Of a session of congress
affected business SO little.
Wheat has advanced about a cent fol-
the week. The best western estimates OF
the crop have been raised again. Corn
moves from farms less freely than a year
ago, the low price hindering. Cotton has
beer weak again. declining a quarter for
the week. iron and its products are lower.
Boot and shoe shipments for the week are
larger than last year. and manufacturers
are getting increased orders with general
reduction in prices, but leather has de-
clined. Hides are about half cent lower.

ness and prices, 1t is encouraging to find

6ALISBURY'S NOTE.
Read to Secretary olney by Sir
Julian Pauncefote.
Concerns the Venezuelan Boundar,
Dispute-Believed to Be Conciiia-
tory-No War Likely.

Washington, Dec. THE reply OF
Lord Salisbury to Secretary Olney's
note of instructions to Ambassador
Bayard relative to the Venezuelan
boundary dispute was delivered to Sec
rotary Olney at noon Saturday.
Donelson, the messenger of the Brit
ish embassy, came early to the state
department with note from Sir Julian
Pauncefote, asking for an appointment
to see the secretary. This was arranged
speedily for the morning, aud Sir Jul
IAN presented the note in person to
secretary, the ambassador himself
reading it's contents to Mr.. Olney, as is
the custom when important documents
are presented.
Much Secrecy Maintained.
For some reason the state department
officials took steps to prevent the fact
that the note had been delivered from
gaining publicity, butwithout avail.
At the British embassy there was the
same disposition to not give any pub
licity to the proceedings. All inquiry
us to the nature of the note failed to Sc
cure response from any official and it
probably will be preserved as an official
secret, as far as the Washington author
tiles are concerned, until the president
has had an opportunity to consider it
and send it to congress.
No Likelihood of War.
While it is impossible to state posi-
lively that the reply is favorable, there
IS not the slightest doubt that the
whole matter will be settled somehow
other than by war. There is war talk,
of course, and plenty of it. The Army
and Navy club is full of discussion of
the probabilities of war. 1t is scarce
ly an eXaggeration to say that the
members of that club hope that war
will come-that is, a large proportion
hope so.
But there will be no war. There are
too many interests at stake. Should
the Salisbury government refuse to
arbitrate, the situation would assume a
rather ugly look, the diplomatists say,
but, Were this government to show that
1T insists that it must be arbitration or
war, the wealthy and influential class
of Great Britain, having immense in
vestments here, would exercise enough
power to induce the Salisbury govern
ment to change its mind.
We Won't Back Down.
There will be no war between this coun-
try and Great Britain" So said Congress
man McCreary Saturday. He added
During my II years service on the for
eign affairs committee there has been an
nually some grave situation between these
two countries. Great Britain is great
believer in diplomatic negotiations, and
she seldom ends where she starts. Were
this thing to be settled with Salisbury S
reply, the situation might be called grave
But much time will be required to settle

that from my talk with Mr.. Cleveland
about the matter, / believe that he is not

tied amicably. There will be no war with
us and we don't want to go to war with
Great Britain. or anybody else. We are
