PECULIAR POISONS
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN
BODY
The Result OF Imperfect Digestion
of Food.

The Result OF Imperfect Digestion
of Food,
Every living thing, plant or animal, con-
tains within itself the germs of certain de-
cay and death.
and death tcalled by scientists Ptoma },
are usually the result Of imperfect digest ion
Of food; the result of indigestion OF dys-
pepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food. The result is a heavy, sodden mass
which ferments 1.-THE first process of decay
poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak,
and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning
the brain causing headaches and pain in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irTitates the heart, causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, caus-
ing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal, and weak Cigcs-
tion shows itself not only in loss of appetite
and flesh. but in weak nerves and muddy

The great English scientist, Huxley. said
the best start in life is n sound stomach
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity of
digestive acids (lactic and hydrochloric)
and peptogenic products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases OF indigestion, is to take
after each meal, one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply in
a pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use Of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear COM
plexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food well digcsted

sia Tablets at 90 cents full size package or

FIAGMEN AT CROSSINGS.
A Bill Has Been Prepared Requir'
ing Their Appointment.

The District Commissioners have pre-
pared q bill which will be presented to
Congress in a few days requiring all street
railway companies to place flagmen at all
crossings where rapid transit lines con-
meet.
The reason for asking for legislation of
this character is that the Commissioners
have been unable hitherto to enforce the
police regulation upon the subject and
have resolved to- procure a specific enact
ment from which there will be no appeal.
The bill is now in the hands of Attorney
Thomas, who is expected to revise it from
legal standpoint.
