A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

From Mich. Christian Advocate.)
The Rev. F. l. Bell, n highly esteemed
minister residing in WeedspOrt, Cayuga Co.,
". Y, In q recent letter writes as follows:
'.There has never been an ything that have
taken that has relieved the Dyspepsia from
which have suffered for ten years except
the new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. Since taking them l have had no
distress at all after eating and again after
long years can sleep well. Rev. F. 1. Bell.
weedsport, N. Y. formerly 1dalia, Colo"
StuarL's Dyspepsia Tablets Is remark
able remedy, not only because 1t Is n GER
tain cure for all forms of indigestion, but
because it seems to act as thoroughly in
old chronic cases OF Dyspepsia as well rs
In mild attacks OF indigestion or biliousness.
A person has dyspepsia simply because
the stomach is OVERw ORKED, all it wants
Is a harmless vegetable remedy to digest
the food aud thus give ii the much needed
REST.
This is the secret Of the success of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion may
be, Stua rt's Dyspepsia Tablets WILL
DIGEST THE FOOD WHETHER THE
STOMACH WORKS OR NOT. New life
aud energy is given not only 10 the stomach
but to every organ and nerve in the body.
A trial of this splendid medicine will con-
vince the most skeptical that Dyspepsia and
all stomach troubles CAN BE CURED.
The tablets are prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co. OF Marshall, Mich, but so
popular has the remedy become that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets can now be OBJ
tanned at any drug store at 90 cents per
package.

Louisville, March 16.-The handsome
course of the New Louisville Jockey Club
has begun to don its spring attire, and the
Derby and other spring candidates are being
given their early facings.
Probably the best-looking colt at the
track is Henry Simons' two-year-old, by
imp. Esher-Lady Caroline. Several morn
ings ago he breezed through the stretch
in "a. He is a big, strong fellow, ana
will doubtless be heard from, but un-
unfortunately for ar. Simons he has failed
to enter him in any of the big stakes.
The best work for any distance over
three-ouarters was done by Doorga,
four -year-old mare belonging to W. W.
Lister, which was formerly the property
of Milt Young. She was sent mile on
Wednesday, completing the circuit in Las.
Sam Bryant has n very promising filly
i'm LADY jim. She worked half in O:o4,
doing IL with comparative ease.
Eugene Leigh came down from Lexington
Friday to look at his string. During Mr.
Leich's visit he sold the four year-old
Rouu,ielay, by Falsetto Carroll, to Bob
Forsythe for $500.
Hankins and johnson are negotiating with
Eddie Jones, n light weight, who has been
doing such clever work in California this
winter.
The Turf Exchange has just issued the
latest revised sheet for its future book on
the X entu cky Derby, to be run at the spring
meeting of the New Louisville Jockey Club
in May The prices for the most part have
been raised. Ben Brush is now TO /, and
money is not very acceptable. Captive and
ULYSSES are being most heavily backed.
Captiye has been forced down from % to
