made in the open. There are some dis
eases that are like pickpockets. They
are sneaks. If men only knew it, these
sneaking diseases are more to be dreaded
than small -pox or yellow fever. The
sneaking disease begins with some slight
disorder of the digestion and sluggish ac-
ton of the bowels. The blood Becomes
disordered and the body receives INSULT
cient or improper nrtriment. Emacia-
ton follows and the sufferer is troubled
with nervous prostration, brain fag, and
debility, and very likely falls victim to
that dread destroyer, consumption. All
this happens before the sufferer fairly
realizes that he is in danger.
These sneaking diseases that undermine
a mans constitution, and rob him of his
health are conquered by DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t puts
strength into every fiber of the body and
replaces the lethargy Of sickness with the
buoyancy of health. 1t is the best blood
maker and fesh-builder known to science.

Gentlemen:
The Puritana treatment forwarded by
you on the 10th ultimo was duly re-
ceived, for which many thanks.
The ailnent for which it was used
was rheumatism, or, more properly;
rheumatic govt, the sequence of long
standing liver trouble.
The Puritana treatment has now been
used for two weeks, and the most salts
factory results have followed. Complete
determination of the torture which
marks the ailment, has not yet taken
place, for the period of the treatment is,
of course, too brief for that, but the effect
of this short trial is so full of promise
of this short trial is so full of promise, in
the immunity that has already taken
place from the terrible aches and pains,
that I cannot refrain from expressing
my deepest gratitude to Puritana.
I shall continue the treatment, conf
dent that it will accomplish a thorough
cure, and will write you later as to final
results.
In the mean time, for the blessed relief
it has already. afforded, my sincere and
appreciative thanks are given. have
tried twenty different remedies, but until
I tried Puritana relief was wanting.
Very sincerely yours,

cATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, simple, But Safe and
Effectual Cure for II.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing TO incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloating
sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery rsings, a for
nation of gases, causing pressure on the
heart and lungs and difficult eathing;
headaches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a trea tment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces OF
the stomach. To secure prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do, and W hen normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harianson the safest
and best trea atment is TO use after each
meal tablet, composed OF Diastase, Asep-
tic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal and
fruit acids. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not be-
ing a patent medicine can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will folio W
their regular use aIUer meals.
Mr. n J. Booher, of 27l0 Dearborn St,
Chicago, H., writes ''Catarrh is local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining mem
brane OF the nose becomes inflamcd and
the poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh OF the
stomach. Medical authorities prescribed
for me for three years for catarrh of
stomach without cure, but today ! am the
happiest of men after using only one box
OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. ! cannot
find appropriate words to express my good
feeling | have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious
ness, sour stomach, heartburn, and bloatiIg
after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
CO. Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be
found at all drug stores
