The mount Lebanon Shakers have
recently perfected an ingenious cure
for dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cor
dial consists of food already digested
and digester of foods happily COM
bIned.
The Importance of this invention
will be appreciated when we realize
what proportion of the community
are victims of some form of stomach
troubles. Thousands of pale, thin
people have little inclination to eat,
and what they do eat causes them
pain and distress.
This Digestive Cordial of the Shak
ers corrects any stomach arrangement
at once. 1t makes thin people plump.
Every one will be greatly interested

THIN PEOPLE.
How the Weight May be Increased in a
HeaIthfuI Natural Manner


Heathful Natural Manner
All people who are thin are not nee
essarlly so from disease, it is natural
for some to be thin, and no amount of
treatment would add an iota to their
weight, but great majority of people
are thin because their digestion is not
perfect, their stomachs do not thor
oughly digest flesh forming foods,
they may not have chrome dyspepsia,
but their digestion is not vigorous
enough to assimIlate the food neces-
sary for robust health and to keep up
their weight.
For all such, the new discovery for
DYSPEPSIA and indigestion comes as a
most welcome addition to the list of
meritorious remedies. The new dis
covery referred to is Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, which is not only a pleas
ant and certain cure for indigestion,
but possesses the peculiar power of
digesting flesh-fOrmIng foods, like
meat, eggs and similar ordinary foods,
so that the increase in weight is per-
fectly natural process. One grain of
the digestive princlple in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000
grains Of flesh formed food. DIR. Jen-
nison recently stated that he depends
altogether upon these tablets for the
cure of dyspepsia and stomach
troubles and that they not only cure
indigestion, but in every case a gratI-
| flying increase In weight was noticed,
not tat, but the proper amount of flesh
for health and symmetry. DIR. Har-
landson speaks highly of the tablets,
not only because they build up flesh
and cure indigestion, but they are alb
sOlutely safe and harmless, no matter
what the condition of the stomach and
are excellent not only for the ordinary
dyspeptic, but for invalids and child
rem.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by all druggists at so cents per pack
age and trial will convince anyone
of their merits.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Failures of the Year just Past the Sub

jew W.
New YORK. Jan. il.-R. G.. Iun s.
Co. 8 Weekly Review of Trade says:
The year 1897 begins with II clear nd.
vantage-the past year has swept out
of the way a great number of unsounG
concerns which, in any time of activ-
ity, would have been dangerous to
business. OF the Is, 2S6 commercial
and banking failures in 1896, with
liabilities of $276, $40, 749, IA large share
represented crippling losses i'll previous
years, or the violence of. speculative
storms in 1896 or the first half of 1896,
while thousands more resulted from
the fury of the political tornado last
fall. Banking failures amounting to
$50, 7lS, 9l5 during the year, averaged
$3.50, 100 each and were las per cent
larger than in 1895. Commercial fail
ures amounted to $226, OCT, 1874, a little
over 81, OOO, 600 having been added by
the last day of the year, but the aver
age of liabilities, ia, 992, was smaller
than in some years of great prosperity.
Manufacturing and Trading Failures.
Over four-fifths Of the increase in
manufacturing and trading failures
was in lumber manufacturing, 10 per
cent dry goods. so; WOODEN manufac.
turing, l6l clothing trade, 20; shoe

the increase was moderate in amount,
and in five, with the unclassitied man.
ufacturing and trading failures. the liza
bilities were smaller than in 1895.
While banking failures have not
ceased at the West, apprehension about
them has almost wholly subsidized and
no serious influence upon general trade
is now expected. Many sound con.
Germs were doubtless caught by the cpl.
demic, but practically all the impor.
tant failures are traced to disregard of

The ~protesaue and distorted report

The grotesque and distorted reports
sent out from Pierre 10 the Argus-Lead
or and certain other dailies in other
states by j.. Leslie Tomlinson, Jr., are
easily accounted for when it is known
that j. Leslie has become one OF the
corrupt rnilroad lobby, consisting OF Kilt
ridge, johnson, Hunter and others who
nave for six years cursed the people Ut
this state by their corrupt practices at
Pierre, Dispatches from Pierre are posi-
tive 10 their declarations hat Tomlinson
has made an agreement with the lobby
to assault through the Argus-Leader
every measure that comes before the
Legislature not to the liking OF the rail
roads, unless they can make a deal with
the supporters Of the measure. Tomlln
SONS part in the lobby is to consist o.
his usual misrepresentation and vlIitica-
ton OF honest men aud measurs, by
throwing a cloud OF suspicion upon them
if possible and creating discard in the
ranks OF we'll intentioned men, species OF
duplicity Tomlinson is we'll qualified for
by nature and long experience in the
b's ,k-mail.ng art. O4e OF the dispatch
es adds on this point:
Sensational reports are to be sent out
from time to time as Occasion may require
and the newspapers for which Tomlinson
is correspondent are to be filled with all
sorts Of ghost stories. The republican
railroad lobbyists are bold and aggressive
and threaten with death every measure

to quiet or bring into their camp 10 op-
position to the Wheeler bill. When
quiet means fail the sand bagging pre-
cess is to be pursued. 1t is also vel
