HIS GENTLE REMINDER.
One Judge Who Whispered sOme-
thing to the Attorney.

For the purpose of this tale it must
be remembered that Judge Coffee has
red hair, says the San Francisco
Wave. Perhaps the shade Is more
properly termed ginger" but then, a
chevelure approaching rubesence is
ever dubbed red. Ex-Judge Bowers, a
venerable jurist, who in early days
was light of the superior bench, was
arguing a law point of some import
ance before Judge Coffey. He has a
trick of emphasizing his periods with
an uplifted forefinger. and, after defin-
ing his views, ended up very solemnly:
II see around me many gray-haired
lawyers, whose opinions. have no
doubt, agree with those have just ex-
pressed to your honor-men whose
snowy locks testify to-"
At this juncture, Judge Coffey leaned
over his desk, and in his mildest tones,
interrupted:
Il have no doubt you are right,
Judge, and your Difference 10 gray
haired men Is very appropriate. but
I'd like TO remind you there's a red
headed man whose opinion is OF most
importance In this case"

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently Icured
by stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
A New Discovery, but Not a Patent Med.
icine.

DIR. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use OF the new discov-
cry, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says; The patient was a man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate
seemed to sour and create acid and gases
In the stomach. he lad pains like rheu-
matism in the back, shoulder blades ind
limbs, fullness and distress after eat
ing, poor appetite and loss of flesh; the
heart became affected, causing palpita-
tion and sleeplessLees at night.
l gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an
experiment. j finally bought a fifty-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at drug store and gave them to him.
Almost immediate relief was given and
after he had used four boxes he was to
all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour wa
terry risings. no bloating after meals, the
appetite was vigorous and he gained be-
tween 10 and 12 pounds In weight of solid,
healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold In drug stores yet
L consider them a most valuable addi-
tion TO any physicians line of remedies
as they are perfectly harmless and car
be given to children or invalids or in any
condition of the stomach with perfect
safety, being harmless and containing
nothing but vegetable and fruit essences
pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indigestion
biliousness, constipation and all derange.
