A Talk on Dyspepsia.
A Disease of CivIIizatiOn--Its Symp-
tOms--HOw to Cure 1t.


Dyspepsia is said to be a disease Of civilization.
savages know nothing about it. The disease has
become domesticated in America and we as a
people have threatened to monopolize 1t. Few
disorders infict upon their victims greater suffer-
ing, yet dyspepsia is not particularly dangerous
and seldom causes death 1t permits the suffer
er to linger in misery for the allotted term of
life.
The complaint usually begins with a sense of
fullness, tightness and weight 10 the stomach af-
ter meals, and diminished lost appetite
Flatuency and sour stomach are also common
and there Is often nerN BUSINESS, vomiting and gen
eral distress. Sometimes the patient has a bad
taste in the mouth, headache, heartburn and
palpitation.
Dyspepsia is the result of disturbed or interrupt
ed functions of the stomach and digestive organs.
The consists in restoring these functions. II
the stomach is too weak to digest food II must be
strengthened. This must be done through the
blood which is the medium that carries strength
and nourishment to all the organs Hoods Sar-
saparilla is the One True Blood Purifier and it
cures dyspepsia by purifying and enrching the
blood, combined with its direct action upon the
stomach and its secretons. Perhaps in no way
has Hoods Sarsaparilla relieved greater suffering
than in its cures Of Dyspepsia which are indeed
legion. If you are suffering from this diseas =,
| give Hoods Sarsaparila a fair trial at once. 1t

an appetite and strength and relieve the pains
and miseries Of dyspepsia.

Gently deceased, writes State Agent James T.

Stowell's policy April 80, 1895. This was not paid
and since his death we find that the company
sent second notice on May Z, and a third notice
stating that the insurance had lapsed, but would
be reinstated II premium was paid and health
certificate given. Later still letter conveying
the same information was sent, all these papers
having been in Mr.. Stowel's possession. In a
pocket OF an ONCE coat we found check made
by Mr. Stowell for this premium and dated May
5. Mr.. Stowells accident occurred June 20, and
he died June %. By the terms OF the policy l
should have been entitled to 5000, but am CRATE
full that the company, while recognizing that
there is no legal claim for more than this amount,
have still seen fit TO pay the face OF the policy,
$4,000" The generosity Of the National Life in
paying the face-value Of the policy under the
above circumstance, is but in keeping with its
| general policy. Women should be sufficiently
alive to their own interests to see that their hus
| bands pay the premiums on their policies when
they fall due as companies are not obliged TO pay
| the face value of policies unless all arrears have
been paid Mrs. Stowell's words OF appreciation
are non too strong for the kind and generous
treatment accorded her by the National Life.

publish them. This was the case
with every paper, no matter what its
political complexion, and now the
miners wonder how it comes that
these papers take such interest in the
workingmen, when their direct votes
are needed and give them a cold turn
down at a time when, though they
have no vote, they have a right to ex-
press desire to have only man
friendly to their interests fill certain

Frank Dixon, the taXidermist of 72,

weeks ago to hunt for gold in Colorado
which he thought he could locate from
gold dust which he found on deer's

Election Figures.

The remarkable nature of the re
cent election is only becoming known
as the figures are studied and com
pared with those of the presidential
election in 1892. And the more they
are studied the more remarkable the
election of Mckinley appears to be.
In 1894 Cleveland had a popular
vote of 5,556,orS, and Harrison
5,I76,IoS, and there were 12,11o,6s6
votes cast. Cleveland had a popular
plurality of $50, 1910. This year Bryan
polled, as correctly as we can ascer-
tain, 6,344,463 votes, or 7S7,s4s
votes more than Cleveland received.
On the surface, added to Cleveland's
plurality of $50, ,SIo, this would seem
to indicate great victory for Bryan.
But while the Democratic vote IN
creased that much the Republican
vote increased r,S76,9o4 giving Nc
Kinley plurality of 7oS,6So.
Mckinley received 7,os3,Io2 votes,
the most ever cast for any candidate.
The total vote was 13,6oo,ooo, an
increase of three millions and a half
since the last presidential election.
While McKinley's plurality is very
large the returns show that it can be
made up by the plurali.ies of three
with 100000,
New York with a4o, 1000 and Pennsyl-
vania with nearly 100000. In the
ten fusion states we mentioned few
days ago-California, Illinois, Iowa,
Kentucky, Minnesota, New Jersey,
Ohio, Oregon, West Virginia and
Wisconsin-while the Democratic
vote increased aIa,675, enough to
have carried them for the Democratic
the Republican vote in
creased more than 10000, sweeping
these states into the Mckinley col
umn, although Kentucky went there
by only couple Of hundred, not
enough votes to carry all the electors.
The vote was tremendous one, at
least on paper. We hope it is zeal
one. 1t is, to say the least, remarka-
ole that what appears TO be plurality
of 1,I6S,355 should be met with an
increased vote of I,S76,oo4, assuring
a Republican plurality of 7oS,63o. 1t
is remarkable but Hannaesque. And
it is also remarkable that three states
should give that much plurality alone
and that in all the Others Bryan could
not get enough votes to elect him.
That also was Hannaesque.-Pahiok.
