GET FLESH.
Get Strength. !igor, Clear Complexion
and Good Digestion, Not by Patent
Medicine But in Natures Own
Way.

Any honest physician will tell you that
there is but one way to get increased flesh;
all the patent medicines and cod liver oils
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way to increase flesh.
strength and vigor of mind and body, and
that is through the stomach by wholesome
food well digested. There is no reason or
common sense in any other method what
ever.
People are thin. run down. nervous, pale
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their Stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have DYSPEPSIA.
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food or what they eat is not quick
ly and properly digeSted as it should be.
DIR. HarlandsOn says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones and deficient secre-
ton of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to sup
ply what the weak stomach lacks. There
are several good preparations which Wilde
this, but none so readily as Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which are designed espec-
tally for all stomach troubles, and WHICH ).
cure all digestive weakness on the COM
mon sense plan of furnishing the diges-
tive principles which the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect is to increase the
appetite and increasing yigor, added flesh.

pany of travelling men because they were
able to defend his cause and they could
do missionary work in behalf of the free
coinage during the coming four years, for
the simple reason that they, better than
any other Glass; were able to compare
the goods delivered since election with the
samples shown during the campaign. He
charged republicans with having given as
surances of return to prosperity follow
ing the election of Mckinley, but insist
ed there had been just the reverse, an
increase of failures and general breaking
down of industry. He quoted from com
mercial agencies reports in support of his
claim

With better understanding of the

forts-gentlee fforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge. that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
case, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene

If in the enjoyment Of good healsh

other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slSillful

one should have the best, and with the
well-inforued everywhere, Syrup d
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

WASHINGTON LETTER.

A Weekly Budget of Interesting News
from the Capital.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-If it be true,
as has been frequently charged, that
money was spent to secure the opposl-
tion Of the A. P. A. to the candidacy OF
Governor Mckinley, for president, it was
made very certain at the meeting of the
supreme council of the A. P. A., held in
Washington this week, that those
who furnished that moneySmade very
bad investment.
Some people were surprised at the
result Of the vote, on the resolution de-
claring Colonel Dupont, of Delaware, to
be entitled to seat in the senate, but 1t
| is quite certain that Senator Mitchell,
chairman of the election committee, who
had charge of the resolution; was not
one Of them, and it is not probable that
Colonel Dupont was.
The house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce this week decided
to favorably support the Mahon Mica
ragua Canal bill, with some additions
and changes. The bill authorizes tne
Canal Company, to issue 1O0,OOOOOO In
three per cent. bonds, guaranteed by the
United States, and redeemable at pleas
ure after ten years, to be secured by
first mortgage on all the company
property. 1t also provides that the
canal shall be constructed according tc
the plans of the engineer department OF
the army and under its supervision. Ii
has not been definitely decided whether
an attempt will be made to put this bill
through the house at this session, anC
probably will not be until the senate in
dicates what it is going to do about ad
jOurnment.
The belief that the sending of Genera
