board of arbitration by the Mexican
Traffic association, came to town yes

water lines have for some time claimed
a material differential which makes
their rates lower than those of the all

until it was seen that a settlement of
it could only come through arbitration
and the three gentlemen named were
selected by the Mexican Traffic asso-

ed a decision which they declined to
make public until it shall have been

The results of recent Investigation
have established, beyond question, the
great value of the new preparation for
Indigestion and stomach troubles; 1t is
composed of the dige stive acids, pspsin,
bismuth, Golden Seal and similar
stomachics, prepared in the form of
20 grain loZenges, pleasant to the taste.
convenient to carry when travelling,
harmless to the most delicate stomach,
and probably the safest, most effectual
cure yet discovered for Indigestion, sour
stomach, loss Of appetite and flesh,
nausea, sick headaches, palpitation of
heart, and the many symptoms arising
from imperfect digestion Of food They
cure because they cause the food to be
promptly, and thoroughly digested be-
fore it has time to sour, ferment and
poison the blood and nervous system.
Over six thousand people in the state
Of Michigan alone in 1894 were cured
of stomach troubles by Stuart's Dys-
