1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well; No
Chronic Disease Can BE Cured
Unless the stomach Is First
Nnds strong and Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ IN
the body depends on the stomach for its
nourshment. Nerve, bone, sinew, blood
are made from the food which the sto-
mach converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this,
that, and the other remedy and neglect
the most important Of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms OF Indigestion
are sour risings, bad taste in the mouth,
gas in stomach and bowels, palpitation,
all-gone feeling. faintness. headaches,
constipation; later comes loss Of flesh,
consumption. liver and heart troubles,
kidney diseases, nervous prostration, all
of which are the indirect result OF poor
nutrition.
Any person suffering from Indigestion
should make it a practice 10 take after
each meal one of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets, allowing il 20 dissolve i'm the
mouth and thus mingle with the saliva
and enter the stomach in the most natu-

commended by DIR. Jennison, because

Pennsylvania Tribute to Washing
atlanta Constitution.)

On the 18th Of this month n colossal
monument will be dedicated 10 General
Washington in the city OF Philadelphia,
by the Pennsylvania Society Of the Gin
cinnatl. and the ceremony will be one Of
imposing character.
Some idea OF the magnifcence OF the
monument may be derived from the fact
that its cost will fall little short Of $780,
900. As work Of art. it is even superior
10 the Grant monument, which will be
unveiled in New York on the 9th Of this
month.
More than eighty-six years have elapsed
since the movement 10 erect a handsome
memorial pile 10 General Washington in
the city Of Philadelphia first started, and
the original pioneers Of the enterprise
have long since passed away. The first
subscription to the fund was made In 1870
and other followed in rapid succession;
but the movement began TO lag after a
few months, and IL looked a. one time AZ

been successfully completed. and the

OUR SYSTEM OF PARKS
The system OF parks here, the compare
lively small sum OF money they have cost
the city. and tho scientific beauty Of their
arrangement, are things In connection
with them that are more due TO the
ability and earnest, patriotic devotion to
Richmond that Colonel Cutshaw. the City
Engineer, possesses than TO anything else.
Most OF the parks were originally rugged
hillsides, washing away with winters
rains, and costing the city Thousands Of
dollars TO keep them from gradually
sliding away. These old hillsldes now
