Not Dyspepsia, But Lung Disease.
A weak stomach and a dislike for food,
which seems to have lost all its agreeable
taste. often causes the sufferer To imagine
that he only has disease Of the stomach
Many a case of beginning lung disease is
mistaken by patients and doctors alike for
dyspepsia. When Lung Diseaseis thus mis-
AIKEN for stomach affection the treatment
that is applied is a wrong one and unfOrtu-
nately the treatment is often kept up until
the Lung Disease becomes so advancedthat
the case becomes a hopeless one.
When Bronchial CataTThis extending into
the lungs the voice often becomes weak and
husky or hOaTse. There Is often a burning
pain felt in the throat and some difficulty
experienced in swallowing On account OF
the soreness in the throat.

THE BEAUTY And THE CAB
A Pretty GirPs Musing Spell Caused
Her a Walk.
She Was in a Hurry to Get a Rail-
way Ticket for Her Home
ward Trip.

She BUSTED to the register of an uptown
hotel and put some other name than Smith
on the page-this pretty, dashing young
lady from Altoona, Pa, about one week
ago The clerk assumed his payday
smile and turned the register around with
the hand that Wore the regulation diamond.
The few men in the corridor turned and
oglcd the newcomer and watched her as
she entered the elevator.
Her father is an iron merchant. The
family thought she had vocal gifts that
should be developed. They naturally sup
posed that the best way TO bring about
the developing process was to send their
child to Washington. In addition TO being
pretty this maid was tail. She was too
vivacious to be portly. She was too
young to overestInate her charms In
fact, whole days stroll on Vanity Fairs
beach would hardly reveal a more precious
pebble.
She had been here week, this young
lady fIom Altoona. A telegram came
and told her her mamma was Ill. She
was 10 come at once. Her father, the
lion merchant, had forgotten 10 make the
next remittance after the last. Shct ounted
her IN oncy and found only postage stamp
and four cents more than So. 1t would
never take her 10 Altoona.
She devosed a spell TO thought. The
ticket scalpcr came along with other ideas.
She res olved TO Try him. 4 cab was sum
moned.
or course, this pretty young lady from
Altoona was all in fluttcr, or the rest
of this tale need not have been told. She
hacked I'D her grip, and wasted five min
uteS in attempting to get her umbrella In
q bandEox Finally size was ready. Grip,
bandTox and umbrella were tossed into
the cab.
"!o not stop until you set to the ticket
boxers" said the obliging clerk who
had officiated in person at the throwing
in of the grip, handbook and umbrella.
"Cabby'' SAID all right.
The horse seemed To realize his precious
burden, and trotted off gaily. The young
lady from Altoona was absorbed in thought
The cab stopped for the passing of car.
The young lady alighted. She was still
in Thought Tie car passed. The cab
started. The young lady from Altoona
looked in vain for the ticket brokers' Then
she saw the moving car and the moving
cab. She realized what she had done.
She attempted to call the cabby. He was
mentally counting his fare, and did not
hear her. She started in pursuit 1t was
q race to behold. The cab gained. The dis
lance had heightened into six squares, and
the young lady could just keep the vehicle
in sight There was another car and an
other stop, and a discovery on the part
or the cahman. He retraced his course
and had stopped before two policemen to
make complaint OF lost fare when the
young lady from Altoona again arrived
on the scene
The incident never would have gotten
out, bad as il was. had she not written
it from Altoona to young musical ac-
ouaintanCe IN this city.

when Lieut.. Pena was killed.
All reports agree that Col Arizona be-
haved bravely. The terrible slaughter Of
his men was due to his incapacity, and the
undoubted superiority of Gomez as strate-
gist, rather than to lack of courage on his
part But his defeat was so decisive that
the Spaniards prefer to preserve silence
over the affair, rather than to praise and
promote him, u they have repeatedly done
in the case Of less courageous chiefs. The
Cuban losses at Juan Crillo are insignifi-
cant as compared with those Of the Span

FACTS WITH POINTS.
Every One of These Statements
Absolutely True.

Mr.. A. W. Sharper, 81 Prospect street,
Indianapolis, Ind, says: Gratitude prompts
me TO write thatStuart S Dyspepsia Tablets
completely cured me of Nervous Dyspepsia
from which 1 had suffered for the last
four years. [ had tried many remedies
without results, but am now cured and
have gained in flesh, sleep well and have
none but words of praise for Stuart s Tab
IetS''
Mrs. Sarah A Skeels, Lynnvilie. Iowa:
''It has been six months since [ took
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and am fully
cured. Have not had particle of distress
or difficulty since. This is in the face
of the fact that had suffered from stom-
ach trouble for twenty-five years and
was pronounced incurable by the doctors.
James Newmcstcs, Eau Claire, Wis, says:
Two 50-cent packages of Stuart s Dyspep-
sia Tablets did me more good than any
remedy [ had ever before tried. They hit
the spot with me and / once more have
an appetite and can at what 1 please
without fear OF distress and bloating after
ward.
DR.. Harlandson relates the case of Miss
Helen Sholes. OF Nashville, who was cured
of dyspepsia and gained eighteen pounds
in weight after suffering from stomach
trouble for eight years. The doctor uses
them in all stomach troubles because they
are not a secret patent medicine, but CON
tain pure pepsln, diastase, fruit acids and
valuable digeStives, which digest the food
whether the stomach works or not, gives il
the needed rest and4a cure is the natural
result.
DIR. Jennison says nine-tenths of disease
is caused by indigestion and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the safest and best cure,
because they are not a secret patent medi-
cine, hut contain the valuable digestive
principles needed by every weak stomach,
a IL -
being absolutely harmless.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at so cents per package.

TRUTH ABOUT THE
PASSING OF CATARRH
INTO CONSUMPTION.

IL Tom Doctor McCoy's Monograph on the
Extension OF Catarrh to the LunSs-b
When CataTrh has existed in the head and
upper parts OF the throat for any length or
time. the patient living in a district where
people are subject To catarrhal affections.
and the disease has been left incurred, the
Catarrh almost inv aTiably extends from the
Throat, down the windpdpe and thence into
tie Bronchial Tubes These tubes convey the
air into the different parts OF the Lungs
As result OF the extension OF the disease
tie Bronchial Tubes become affected from
tie swelling, and the mucus that is poured
out by the CataFrh, together with the
swelling, sometimes plugs these tubes up
so that air cannot pass freely through
them as 1T should. ShOrtness Of breath fol
lows and one 50 affected breathes with
difficulty. In otter cases there are sounds
Of cracking and wheeling inside the chest
AT this period Of the extension OF the dis
ease the breathing is usually more rapid
than II should be. There are frequently
felt bot nuslIes over the body.
When Catarrh Extends to the Lungs.
TIE pain which accompanies this condi-
ton is of a dull Character, felt in the chest
behind the breast-bone. or else IL is pres
ent under the shOGlder-blade The pain
may come ami go. last few days, and then
be absent for several others. The cough
that OccuTs at this time is dry comes on
at varying intervals is hacking in char
acter, and is usually the most troublesome
in the morning upon rising. or on going to
bed at night. This peculiar character OF
the cough is often the first evidence that
Catarrhal disease is extending into the
lungs. AT first there may be nothing
brought up By the cough, then there will
be a little tough. sticky mucus raised.
which the patient finds great difficulty
in bringing up. Sometimes there are fits
Of coughing so violent, brought on By the
efforts 70 dlslOdge the tough mucus. as 10
cause vomiting. Later on the mucus that
is raised may be found to contain par
tcles OF yellow matter, and this proves
that the smaller lung tubes are beginning
TO be involved by the disease.
The Most Serious symptoms.
At this stage Of the trouble, in some
cases, there will be found streaks OF
blood mixed with the mUCus that il
expelled By the cough In a certain num-
hcr OF cases, at this stage Of the dis
ease, the one afflicted becomes pale and
has considerable fever every Afternoon,
while in certain other cases a great zeal
of muCuS may be raised or haw6ed up
before any cough is present In certain
other cases small masses OF Checsy-iike
sUbst ances are spit up, which. when
pressed between the fingers emit yerv
unpleasant Odor. This last is q very Sc
TiOUS symptom
In some cases CatarTh viii extend from
tie Throat and into the Lungs in a veTv
few weeks; in other cases it may be
months and even years before the disease
passes from the Throat into the Lungs.

The great number of people in this
community and throughout the country,
many hundreds OF thousands in all, who
are wasting away and dying with con-
sumption, have been made the subject of
special meetings of the health boards of
the different cities and towns.
When these bodies of learned men say
that something must be done to check the
increasing ravages OF the disease, it is
perfectly safe for the people to lend their
assistance to the efforts of these health
boards. The only doctors who object to
the teaching and warning OF the boards of
health are those who think they have a
cure for consumption.
Doctor Mccoy has from time TO time told
people that he has no cure for consumption
in it's latter stages, and right now he is
willing and anxious to assist these health
boards in preventing the development of
this disease.

Permit me TO urge upon your honorable

OF this bill. IL recommended itself to
the representatives OF the District many

great majority OF our citizens are heartily
in favor today of this or some similar
provision, for the protection OF Sunday
against the agencies which, here, as
elsewhere, cOnSpire against the proper OBJ
servauce OF the DAY, for the sake OF
selfish interests. or of ip-regulated apPe-

l am sure that the people or he District
would consider it a dishonor that our
National Capital should be without
proper Sunday law Such laws are every
where recognized as indispensable bulwarks
of Christian civilization; and IL seems un-
questionable that the special dignity of
our city specially calls for such pro-
vision.

The bureau has recently received a
brief letter from Gov. Johnston, of Ala
bama, in favor of the Gillett-Platt bill, TO
forbidinterstate gambling by telegraph and
also has had another letter in the same
interest from the secretary of the Preachers
Alliance of the State capital, Montgomery,
the organization which led the movement
which has just succeeded in securing a
State law like that of New Jersey for the
total suppression OF poolrooms and all race
gambling. 1t is felt that a national law
is also needed TO protect the State against
solicitations to gamble on races in other
States.

Here Is the Proof.

To show what can be done in the way
OF preventing consumption, nothing Is so
convincing as this Among the hosts that
Doctor McCoy every year treats, scarcely
a person who has been under his care
has been known to develop lung disease.
This Is proof beyond question that by
curing catarrh the dexeiopme mt OF consunP-
