PURTELL PUNCHES RYAN.
The Kansas City Boxer Sends the
Cincinnati Man to Grass.

Kansas City, Aug 9O-Faddy Purtell,
the local weller weight, and Jimmy Ryan
of Cincinnati fought this afternoon about
twenty miles south of this city, and Pur-
tell scored a knockout in the sixth round.
Until the very termination of the go
honors went to Ryan, whose defeat was
largely attributed to his lack of ring gen.
eralship. In the first part of the sixth he
split Purtells eye with a vicious left
hand swing and landed hard with his right
on the jaw. In the miXup which followed
Purtell swung his right and Ryan went
down, his head striking the floor with ter
rife force. Twice he rose gamely, only to
receive another swing on the jaw. The
third time proved Purtell's charm.
Purtell will now go east to meet Joe
Walcott.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Succ ssiyc Use.


Common soda Is all right In it's place
and Indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
1t was never intended for a medicine
and people who used II as such will
some day regret 1t.
We refer to the common use OF soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
a habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and in
the end the stomach trouble gets worse
and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the intestines. caus-
ing death by Inflammation or periton-
tits.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
u Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the natu-
raj acids, peptOnes. and digestive ele-
ments essential to good digestion. and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before it
has time to ferment, sour and poison
the blood and nervous system.
pr. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they create healthy ap-
petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness and
will be found reliable In any stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.

Tablets at Scots. per package.
