THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia Anc Indigestion b.
Dieting Bsrbarcus and Useless Ono.

OF Treating Dyspepsia Anc Indigestion By
Dieting . Barbarcus and Useless Ono.
We say the old way, but really i.
is very common one at present
time and many dyspeptics and ply
sicians as well consider the first step
to take in attempting to cure indi-
gestion is to diet. either by selecting
certain foods and rejecting others or
to greatly diminish the quantity
usually taken; in other words the
starvation plan is by many supposed
to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure OF the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has
been proved time and again, but still
the moment dyspepsia makes its ap-
pearance q course of dieting is at
once advised.
All this is radically wrong. l. is
foolish and unscientific to recon-
mend dieting or starvation to man
suffering from dyspepsia, because
indigestion itself starves every orran
and every nerve and every fibre in
the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is album
dant nutrition, which means plenty
of good, wholesome, well cooked food
and something to assist the weak
stomach to digest it. This is ex-
actly the purpose for which Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted aud
this is the method by which they
cure the worst cases of dyspepsia; in
other words the patient eats plenty
OF wholesome food and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets digests it for him. In
this way the system is nourished
and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will di-
gest the food whether the stomach
works or not. One of these tablets
will digest 5000 grains of meat or
eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets 10 the
purest and safest remedy sold for
stomach trouble. and every trial
makes one more friend for this ex-
celent preparation. Sold at SO cents
for full sized package at all drug
stores.

The dyspeptic carries q dreadful
load on his back. II seems as IL he
were really made up OF two men.
One OF them ambitious, brsiny and
energetic; the other sick. listless.
peevish and without force. The
weak man wears the other one down.
The dyspeptic may be able to do
pretty good work one dav, and the
next day because OF some little indis.
erection in eating. he may be able 10
do nothing at all. Most cases OF
dyspepsis start with consti patton.
Constipation is the csase OF nine.
tenths of all human sickness. Some
OF its symptoms are sick and bilious
headache, dizziress. sour stomach.
loss Of appetite. foul breath, wind y
beichirgs, heartburn. pain and dis.

limited coinage of silver, are hereby in
vited to participate in the primaries, in
the respective counties, and in the pro
posed territorial convention, if so it be
that they are chosen as representatives
ct county conventions.
In view of the great issues involved in
the national campaign, now on, and of
the high and advanced ground taken by
the Democratic party IN favor of the
restoration of the money of the common
people to its constitutional place in the
financial policy of the nation; and, in
view, further, of the utter failure of the
Republican party to give the terri
tory an influential and useful delegate
in congress from New Mexico, it is
the hope of this committee that the
convention hereby called may be fully
attended and memorable gathering OF
representative Democrats from every
county in the territory. To this end all
citizens of this territory, within the pur-
view of this call, are urged to take an
active interest in the preliminary steps
to constitute said convention and in the
important work of the same.

A UNITED DEMOCRACY.

At a conference of representative Dem
ocrats held in this city yesterday, at
which it was decided to fix the territorial
convention to nominate candidate for
the 55th congress on the goth inst, there
was mutual exchange of notes and ideas
which indicates that the party as whole
is in admirable shape throughout the ter
ritory, and enters upon the fall campaign
with every indication of success.
Public sentiment as expressed in this
meeting, and which, We may ada, comes
to US from other responsible sources, is
almost unanimous in favor of the nomi-
nation of Mr.. H. B. FERGUSON, of Albu-
querque, as the nominee for Democracy's
standard bearer this fall for delegate to
congress. This unanimity of sentiment
the NEW MEXICAN is pleased to observe.
Mr.. FERGUSON has already made par
tial canvass of the territory, and every
where he has been received with evil
dences of the highest regard personally,
and with cheers for the cause he repre-
sents with SO much vigor and ability. If
present conditions may be accepted as a
guide he will be the unanimous choice of
the party for delegate at the convention
which meets in Santa Fe on September
20, and we feel confidence in the assertion
that he will win the day over any man the
Republicans may name by the largest ma
jority ever given Democrat in New
Mexico.
Mr.. FERGUSON is thoroughly we'll
known as safe, sound, honorable man
of ability and energy; known as such In
every nook and corner of New Mexico,
and as our representativein congress We
believe he will be able to accomplish re-
suits, particularly as regards the attain
ment of statehood, which will rebound to
the welfare of all our people.

Democratic Call.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Sept. 3, 1S96.-Where'
as, at meeting of the Democratic terri.
torial central committee, held in Las We
gas, on June Is, 1896, the city of Santa Fe
was selected as the place for the meeting
of Democratic territorial convention
for the nomination of Democratic can
didate for delegate from New Mexico to
the 55th congress of the United States;
and
Whereas, The date of the holding of
said convention was left to be fixed by the
chairman and secretary of this committee
at such convenient time as would In their
Judgment best serve the interests of the
party; and
Whereas, Said proposed convention was
authorized to be constituted, as to repre-
sentation from the various counties of the
territory, on the basis of one delegate for
each 100 votes cast for Antonio Joseph in
each of said counties at the last general
election and one additional delegate for
each fraction of 100 votes 30 cast amount
ing to fifty or more,
Now, therefore, by virtue of the author
ity in us so vested a convention of the
Democratic party of New Mexico is here
by proclaimed to be held in the city of
Santa Fe, at the hour Of l o'clock p. M,
on the 29th day of September, A. d. 1896,
for the purpose of nominating Demo.
cratic candidate for delegate from New
Mexico to the 55th congress of the United
States and for the transaction of such
other business as may properly come be-
fore it related to that primary purpose.
According to the authorization of this
committee, at it's said meeting, the appor-
tionment of delegates to said convention
from the various counties is as follows,
to wit:
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1896-09-08

The county central committees of the
various counties are requested to call
county conventions for the election of the
designated number of delegates, accord
ing to the rules and regulations govern
ing party practice, in the respective coun-
ties, and it is suggested that such conven-
tions and preliminary primaries be held
at such times as are convenient to the
party in the respective counties.
In those counties in which party inter-
eats have advised the holding of county
conventions prior to this call the dele
gates there selected to represent such
county in the proclaimed convention will
undoubtedly be held to have been duly
elected, according to the purpose of this
call.
In carrying out the instructions of the
committee, at its said meeting, all DEM
ocrats, and all those who intend to act with
the Democratic party on the leading
principles enunciated in its Chicago
