Any honest ply ysician- will tell you that
there is but one way to geEincrea sed flesh;

Nature has but one w Az TO increase flesh

People are thin, run down, ner vous, pale

They may not think they have dyspepsia.

enough food or what they eat / s n ct quickly

DR.. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secretion
Of gastric juice.
Nature sremedy in such cases is to supply
what the weak stomach lacks. There are
severa! good prepar ations which will do this,
but none so readily as Stuart's dyspepsia
Tablets, which are designed especially for
all stomach troubles, and which cure all di-
gestive weakness on the common sense plan
OF furnishing the digestive principles which
the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect

One OF the sweetest novelties Of the holi-

casion. at least; each pair to bring with
them their own recipe and dish Guests
and utensils are to find small tables await
ing their service, when, instead of limiting
their faculties to the usual routine of CON
ventional festivities, they are immediately
to boil molasses and work to achieve re-
sluts.
When the syrup i'll each dish is ready for
the athletic turn III its affairs, a genuine,
old-fashioneG taffy pull is started and
kept UP until the hostess touches "A bell.
That will mean that the individual
patches are to be submitted to a triunvi-
rate OF disinterested judges, who will pro-
cced to award prizes according to color
and taste. These favors may be made eX-
travagant features of the Chatting dish
pull" or consist simply of bunch Of
flowers for the victorious girl and a
boutonnierc for the youth.
