GET FLESH.
Get Strength, Vigor, Clear Con-
plexion and Good Digestion, Not
by Patent Medicine, But in Ma
tuTe'S Own Way.

ture's Own Way.
Any honest physician viii tell you that
there is but one way to get increased flesh;
all the Patent medicines and cod liver oils
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way TO increase flesh,
strength and vigor of mind and body, and
that is through the stomach by wholesome
food well digested. There is no reason or
common sense in any other method what
ever.
People gre thin, run down, nervous, pale
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspepsia,
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food or what they eat is not quickly
and properly digested as it should be.
DR.. Hariandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secretion
of gastric Juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to supply
what the weak stomach lacks. There are
several good preparations which will do this,
but none SO readily as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which are designed especially for
all stomach troubles, and which cure all III
gestive weakness on the common sense plan
OF furnishing the digestive principles which
the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effects toincrease the ap-
petite and increased yigor, added flesh, pure
blood, and strength of nerve and muscle is
the perfectly natural result.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and viii cure any form of stom-
aeh trouble except cancer of the stomach

VAN HALTREN,S GREAT CATCH.
Pulls Down Four-Bagger and Pre-
vents Four Runs.

New York, June 15.-Fan Haltren made
sensational catch in the last inning of
the bail game at the Polo Grounds to-
day, which retired the visitors and per-
mitted the faithful cranks to recover
their nerves. With two st. Louis experts
out, Hartman and Douglass made safe
hits, and Grady was hit by a pitched
ball, filling the bases. Big Lally, who had
been hitting very hard throughout the
game, came TO the plate and lined ter
rifle drive TO right center. 1t looked very
much like a four hagger, and if it had
been one there is no telling what might
have happened. But Van Haltren, after
q long, swift dash, pulled the ball down
in marvellous fashion. That ended the
game Score:

delightful climate, which to one escaping
from the cold and unhealthfu III changes
OF the North seems almost ethereal, it is
pre.eminently n land of sport and plea

saltwater coust and in its twelve hundred
fresh-water lakes arc fish of almost every
conceivable variety, from the migratory
tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpon, pOmpano, and Othcrs of a moro
tropical character Nowhere in all our
broad land can the angler find u greater
variety of game or better sport
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears. pan
thors, ana wild cats roam at largo through
the more sparsely settled regions, while
birds Of all kinds may be found in abund-
ance throughout the State The more
novel sport of alligator and manatee
hunting may also be INDUCED in by the
more adventurous tourist
With its matchlesS climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating
and bathing, its fishing and hunting, and
its extensive forests, Florida presents un.
rivuled attractions for the valetudinarian,
the lover of nature, the sportsman, and
the explorer.
