TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, TO Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make a Test OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

Interesting Experience of an Indian
apOits Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring RENE
dies: the real seat OF the mischief is lost
sight of; the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps
any of the usual ymptoms OF stomach weak
ness Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not
in the stomach so much as i'm nearly every
other organ; in some cases the heart palpi-
tates and is irregular; in others the kidneys
are affected: in others the bowels are con-
situated, with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation Of gas, sour risngs and
heartburn.
Mr. A w. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
St, indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"A motive OF pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the new
ard valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. 1 have been q sufferer from
nervous dyspepsia for the last four years;
have used various patent medicines and
other remedies withoutany favorable result
They sometimes gave temporary relief until
the effects of the medicine wore off.
attributed this to my sedentary habits, be-
ing bookkeeper with little physical exer-
else, but am glad to state that the tablets
have overcome an these obstacles, for
have gained in flesh, sleep better, and am

not for notoriety, but is based on actual
fact" Respectfully yours,
A. W. SHARPER,

SENSATIONAL ENCOUNTER
A Court Decision Causes a sharp En-.
counter Between Two Factions
Of q Fraternal Order.

Fulton, ILL.,, Feb. 16.-A sensational en-.
counter resulted to-day from decision OF
the appellate court in the injunction case
as to the removal of the Office of the head
clerk of the Modern Woodmen of Ameri-
ca from this place to Rock Island, Ill.
The court decided adversely to Fulton.
Before daylight, over sixty Rock Island
ers arrived in special train and went to
the Woodmen Office and seized the records.
Citizens demonstrated without avail, the
visitors also disregarding the police.
Then the fire department closed the rear
entrance to the building with stream of
water and locked the front entrance,
trapping the Rock Islanders. They
chopped the door down, but the tiremen
drove them back. They we're prisoners
for two hours, and were finally forced to
restore the records to the Office.
Fulton will appeal the case to the su-
preme court and fight it to the end. A
receivership may be asked for.
