th,ir tracks extended above Fifty-nnth-st.. and
the TRANSFORMATION afforded by these was too
slc,y to adui. OF any considerable number OF per-
sons living along their routes at long distances
from the centres Of business. Hence, except in
widely separated places. the upper parts OF Man

1876 however. the idea Of a system or elevated
railroads took practical shape In the construction
of an experimental track along Greenwich St.
from Cortlandt to Fourteenth-st. The feast

limos were projected along Sixth and Third aves
and these were put In operation In 1873. Other
roads were built later along Second. Ninth and
Columbus aves. and at the same time the con-

Brooklyn.
The immediate effect OF the construction Of
these roads was extraordinary outburst Of

THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by Diet
 ing Barbarons and Useless One. .~

We say the old way, but really it is a very common one at present time and many dyspeptics and physicians as we'll consider the first step to take in attemyt- ing to cure indigestion, is to diet, ei her by selecting certain foods and rejecting others or to greatly diminish the quan- tity usually taken, in other words the starvation plan is by many supposed to be the first essential. &f
 Tha almost certain failure of the star- vation cure for dyspepsia has been proven time and again, but still the mo- ment dyspepsia makes its appearance. a course of dieting is at once ad- viSed.
 All this is radically wrong It is fool isGh and unscientific to recommend diet ing or starvation to a man suffering from dyspepsia, because indigestion it. self starves every organ and every nerve and every fibre in the body.
 What the dyspeptic wants is abundant nutrition, which means plenty of good. wholesome, well-cooked food and some thing to assist the weak stomach to di- gest it. This is exactly the purpose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and this is the method by which they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia. in other words the patient eats plenty of wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets digest 1t for him. In this way the system ds nourished and the overwoTked stormach rested, because the tablets will digest the food whether inc stomach works or not One of these tah- let's will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
 Your druggist will tell you that stu- arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and safest remedy sold for stomach troubles and every trian makes one more friend for this excellent prepara- ton. Sold at 50 cents for full sized package at all drug stores.
