soil and busy operators in other callings

O FAITH CURE.
ApoUT sTUARTs DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS.
They Cure stomach Troubles and In

Have Faith I'm Them or Not.

Mere faith will not digest your food
for you; will not give you an appetite;
will not increase your flesh and strength

Dyspepsia Tablets will do these things,
because they are composed OF the e.e-
ments of digestion-they contain the
Juices. acids, and peptones necessary to
the digestion and assimilation Of all
wholesome food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food IL placed in a Jar OF bottle In water
heated TO 98 degrees, and they win do It
much more effectively when taken into
the stomach after meals, whether you
have faith that they win or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make

is from plenty OF wholesome food. wen

PSYCHIC INFLUENCE.
All believers in psychic influence are
deeply interested in Mr.. Gataker's sue
cess, and more theories are advanced TO
account for 1t than one could investigate
in a lifetime. 1t does seem certain that
there is something about 1t which is al
most awe-inspiTing, for the reason that
not even the finder himself can analyze
definitely what It is that inspires him.
A curious fact in connection with this
matter is that while would-be water
finders for many years have used the twig
and declared that it is the twig
that acts, and not the person, provided
Il be of hazel-wood Mr.. Gataker demon
strates every day that really the twig
has nothing to do with It.
1t is plainly apparent to any one, after
watching this man work, that his efforts
are controlled by a mysterious power,
and that the wood he sometimes carries
in his hand has no more TO do with the
locating of the water than Canterbury
Cathedral. What is it that gives him
the power? Is it psychic influence? Is
It his "other SELF? Is he the reincarna-
ton of some famous magician? Or has
Providence simply given him a power
rarely bestowed upon man? These are
the questions that people in England are
asking to-day. The theorists reply. for
they always do to everything. AS yet,
no one has given a cogent answer to this
problem which seems the mystery Of
mysteries

finder. He worked with the greatest ra-
pidity, his actions were decisive IN the ex
treme. and there was none OF that air OF
mystery about him with which some per-
sons who claim TO be possessed OF strange
powers are fond Of cloal<ng their move
NO QUESTION ABOUT 1T.
There can be no question whatever
about Mr. Gatakers ability to locate water
underneath the carths surface. In fact,
so firm hold has he obtained upon the
confidence OF the people in the west coun-
try who best know him, that his time Is
taken up ahead Just as q theatrical com
pany's engagements are booked. Withal'
he Is unassuming. and never IN appear
ancc, would lead you TO believe ne dliter-
ed In any way from the ordinary specimen
Of his sex that you see so often among the
English middle classes. He gives absolute
proof Of his honesty OF purpose by ihNo-

ton for his efforts unless they meet WIN

him hope This is carrying out the FAMOUS
