We all know that any tired muscle can
be restored by rest. Your stomach is q
muscle. Dyspepsia is Its manner Of say
ing: 81 am tired. Give me a rest" To
rest the stomach you must do it's work

method of curing indigestion, and its
success is best attested by the fact that
these people are practically free from

wEFER's HEAD IN DANGER.
Alleged That He Ran an 1894 Pro
fpsSiOnal,

fessiOnai.
Bernard wefer's head is again in danger,
and he may never again be seen on the
cinder path as an amateur. Under the
heading '.Wcfcrs Again." the Athletes Bull
le;iDof August 10 for thesecond time, makes
charges against the fleet sprinter They
are of such n serious nature that 1t is I'M
perative for some end of the A. A. U. to
come forward and for oncc-act. The
little Boston weekly says:
ID. j. Cotter, whom b. j. Wcfers cen
tested with at Manchester, N H., on July
4, was professional, is professional, and
as far as can be learned was never anything
but a professional This makes TWO meet
ings which the crack sprinter must account
for that were not amateur in the true
sense of the word.
Mr. Wefers has twice been guilty of con-
testing where professionals competed, and
atMaDchester actually ran a racewith one"
The Athletes Bulletin then gives an ac-
count of the episode, in which it is stated
that ,OOO people attended Varick Park
to witness Wefers defeat d j. Cotter by
3 feet in a 100 yard dash in 8 40 sec
oDds. The last named received ten yards.
Wefers subsequently ran the 22O- yard dash
In 22 2-5 seconds
With reference to Cotter the Athletes
Bulletin says he ran at Haverhill Pines
on Labor Day, 1894, and won the tenth
heat in the 135-yard handicap for pro-
fessioDals.
The above charges are too grave to
overlook, and not only as a protection
to amateurs, but to Wefers himself, it
is the A A. US duty to see that they
are siftcd to the bottom.
II Wefers is innocent, he should de-
mand that the A. A. U. take action.
II he be guilty, all amateurs should de-
mand that he pay the penalty.
