FACTS WITH POINTS.
Every One of These statements ABB
soIuteIy True.

Mr. A. W. Sharper, No 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, says: Graft
tude prompts me to write that Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets completely cured me
of Nervous Dyspepsia, from which l had
suffered for the last four years. l 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 Tablets"
Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, Lynnville, Ia:
at has been six months since l took
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and am
fully cured. Have not had a particle
of distress or difficulty since. This is in
the face of the fact that 1 had suffered
from stomach trouble for twenty-five
wears. and was pronounced incurable by
the doctors"
James Newmestes, Eau Claire, Wis,
saws: 1.-TWO SOC packages of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets did me more good than
any remedy / had ever before tried.
They hit the spot with me, and l once
more have an appetite, and can eat what
| please without fear Of distress and
bloating afterward."
DR.. Harlandson relates the case Of
Miss Helen Sholes, of Nashville who
was cured Of dyspepsia and gained
eighteen pounds in weight after suffer-
ing from stomach trouble for eight
years. The doctor uses them in all sto-
mach troubles because they are not a
secret patent medicine, but contain pure
pepsin. diastase, fruit acids, and valua-
Bile digestives, which digest the food
whether the stomach works or not, give
II the needed rest, and cure Is the natu-
raj result
DIR. Jennison says nine-tenths OF dis
ease is caused by Indigestion, and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
and best cure, because they are not a
secret patent medicine, but contain the
valuable digestive principles needed by
every weak stomach, and whole box
would not hurt a child, being absolutely
harmless.
All druggists sell Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets al soc. per package.

A Tobacco Exchange.

One of the most essential enterprise
es conducive to the welfare and pros
perity of the farmers and our COM
mercial industries generally is the e.
Enlistment in Tampa of an Exchange
Tobacco House, where the farmers that
cultivate the weed on diminutive
scale can dispose of their product at
remunerative prices. The small farm
ers are the back bone and sinew of the
country and it is this class of people
that the Tribune believes in looking
after and encouraging. The large
ones are able to take care of Them
selves. If reliable tobacco exchange
was in operation in this city and a
fair price paid for tobacco it would
so stimulate the agricultural classes
that in a few years this county would
be one of the wealthiest and most in
dependent in this Southland. For
miles and miles the country people
would haul their crops to this city
ana convert IL INTO CASH anu tHeH III
turn spend it with the merchants for
the necessities and luXuries Of life.
There is not crop that has as yet
been planted in Florida that is as re-
tive, as easily and quickly Gull
tivated as tobacco and with market
for the crops it would be only very
short time until a vast wilderness
could be transformed into fields of
waving and luXuriant tobacco, one OF
the most remunerative of all Of the
many paying crops in Florida.-Tam-
pa Tribune.

The Tobacco Exhibit.

The following extract from the
Nashville Daily Sun of Sunday relates
to the tobacco exhibit which has
reached that city as sample of what
Florida can do.
can exhibit of Florida tobacco ar
rived this morning over the Louisville
e. Nashville railroad in Southern Ex-
press car, which carried on either side
signs extending the entire length OF
the car, announcing that it contained
an exhibit of Florida tobacco from the
Tampa Board of Trade to Nashville
Exposition. Yesterday afternoon the
car was unloaded at the Agricultural
Building, and it's contents placed in
the Plant System space, where 1T Will
be given prominence next Wednesday,,
which has been designated as Florida
Tobacco Day.
"The exhibit takes in the full scope
of tobacco, from the young plant TO
the manufactured article. The Cuban
Tabacco Growers Company OF Fort
Meade, Fla, contributes an excellent
display of full grown plants OF the
Vuelta Abajo variety, also some cigars
made from their product. Other Sec
tons of the State contribute plants
and tobacco from its pole-cured state
to the baled article ready for the man
ufacturer's table.
"Leon J. Canova, editor of the Flor
ida Tobacco Leaf, is in charge of the
exhibit, assisted by Edward M. Hen
dry. These gentlemen come as repre-
