A PECULIAR REMEDY,
Something About the New Discovery 70
Curing Dyspepsia.

Something About the New Discovery for
Curing Dyspepsia.
From Michigan Christian Advocate.)
The Rev. +. l. Bell. a highly es-
teemed minister residing in Weeds
port. Cayuga county, N. Y. in a
recent letter writes as follows:
There has never been anything that
| have taken that has relieved the
dyspepsia from which have suffered
for 10 years except the new remedy
called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Since taking them 1 have had no dis
tress at all after eating and again
after long years can sleep we'll.
Rev. F. 1. Bell. Weedsport, N. Y !,
formerly Idalia. Col"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
markable remedy, not only because it
Is certain cure for all forms of in
digestion. but because i. seems to act
as thoroughly in old chronic cases of
dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks
of indigestion or biliousness. A per-
son has dyspepsia simply because
the stomach is overworked. All it
wants is harmless vegetable remedy
to digest the food and thus give it the
much needed rest.
This is the secret of the success of
this peculiar remedy. No matter
how weak or much disordered the
digestion may be. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach. but to every organ and
nerve in the body. A trial of this
splendid medicine will convince the
most skeptical that dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles can be cured. The
tablets are prepared by the Stuart
Chemical company OF Marshall.
Mich, but SO popular has the remedy
become that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets can now be obtained at any drug
store ut 80 cents per package.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1896-03-18

If we could trace dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cooking. II well
cooked. foods are partially digested
ii poorly cooked. they are less diges-
tible than in their raw state. If YOU
are a victim of faulty cooking, That
is, if you suffer from dyspepsia, the
rational cure must be looked for in
an artiiicially digested food. aud a
food which will at the same time aid
the digestion of other foods. Such a
preparation virtually rests the tired
digestive organs. thereby restoring
them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon. is
just such preparation, and a single
10 cent bottle will convince you OF its
vsaue. KyOur-drnggist doesn't keep
it. he will be glad to get it through
his wholesale house.

TOnight's Ministries.

The Beach & Bowers minstrels
open a 2-night's engagement at Har-
per's theatre this evening. OF the
performance the Des Moines Register
says:
The performance given by Beach
& Bowers Ministries at Fosters opera
house last evening gave entire salts
faction. The house was fairly well
tiled with people who became very
enthusiastic before the evening
closed. Were second performance
to be given there is no question that
the opera house would be packed.
In part one of the program there was
as fine singing as has been heard on
the stage here for several months.
The quartet, which rendered espe-
c;ally fine music, deserves special
mention. Part two was opened by
one of the most wonderful contor-
tionists that ever visited the CITY.
Those who were in attendance and
witnessed the marvellous feats uni
versally concede that he could by far
discount any one they had ever seen.
The musical team amused every one
by playing on all sorts of instru-
ments, and Lew Tatum, who could
only stop short time, convulsed the
audience.
