Tablets.
Interesting Experience OF an Indian

Interesting Experience OF an Indian
apolis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood 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 remedies; the real seat of the mis-
chief 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 symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases, the heart palpitates and is irregul1r;
in others, the kidneys are affected; IN
others, the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss OF flesh and appetite, with accumuIa-
tion Of gas, sour risings and heartburn
Mr. A w. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive OF pure gratitude prompts
me to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dys-
peDSia Tablets have been sufferer from
nervous dyspepsia for the last four years;
have used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable re-
suit They sometimes gave temporary 1e-
lief, until the effects OF TIL g medicine wore
off. 1 attributed this to my sedentary
habits, being bookkeeper, with little
physical exercise; but |, am glad to state
that the tablets have overcome all these
obstacles, for have gained in flesh, sleep
better, and am better in every way. The

Harry Dale, whose real name is
Thomas Howard, has been pardoned
Internationally by Gov. Pingree. This
case has attracted more attention
throughout the state than probably
any other like case. In May, 1896,
Dale was sent from Detroit to jackson
state prison for life, after having been
tried twice and convicted once on the
charge of having assaulted little Mag
gle Leonard. Almost since the day of
his conviction friends of Dale have
been working for his pardon. The
pardon board held numerous MEETINGS

governor signed the pardon papers and
