fused, alleging that he was not well
used, while playing here before one
time. The Forest City News, in it's
last issue, admits that we did not take
the Scranton man to our bosom, figur-

A WORKOUT FAD.
"Spring Medicines" "BloOd Puri-
fers" aud "Tonics" an ODD
Fashioned ldea.

Pure blood, strong nerves and mus
cles, firm healthy flesh can only come
from wholesome food well digested.
Blood purifiers" and nerve tonics" do
not reach the cause of the mischief.
The stomach is the point to be looked
after. The safest and surest way to
cure any form of indigestion is to take
after each meal some harmless prep
aration which will of itself digest food.
There is an excellent preparation of
this kind composed of vegetable es-
sences, pure pepsin. Golden Seal and
fruit salts, sold by druggists under
name OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
and these tablets taken after meals
assist digestion wonderfully because
they will digest the food promptly be-
fore it has time to ferment and sour,
and the weak stomach relieved and
assisted in this way soon becomes
strong and vigorous again.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are su-
perior to anv secret patent medicines
because you know what you are taking
into your stomach. They are sold by
druggists everywhere at 50 cents per
package.
