A GOOD PRACTICE.
If You Want Good Appetite and Perfect
 Digestion

After each meal dissolve one or two of Stuart's s Dyspepsia Tablets in the mouth and, mingling with the food, they constitute perfect diges- tive, abso8utely safe for the most sensitive stomach.
 They di 1t the food before it has time to ferment, thus preventing the formation of gas and keeping the blood pure and free from the poison ous products of fermented, half-di gested food.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the complexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
 They increase flesh bs digesting flesh-forming foods.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only remedy designed especially for the cure of stomach trouble and nothing else.
 One disease, one remedy, the suc- cessful physician of today is the spe- cialist, the successful medicine is the medicine prepared especially for one disease.
 A whole package taken at one time would not hurt you, but would sim ply be a waste of good material.
 Oeer six thousand men aud women in the state of Michigan alone have been cured of indigestion and dys- pepsia by the use of Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets
 Sold by all druggists at 50 cents for full sized package.

d. O. Mills and Matthew Wilks are
COZ nected chiefly with valuable office

STORY OF 4 VIOLIN.

stefan whose instrument has been much

which are broad, lull ard resonant. II
was passing a street corner one day in
New York city when | noticed one of those
fake musicians. He had one arm, with
which he held his violin, while between
the toes of one of his barred feet he grasped
the bow. The bow was motionlcss and he
made music by moving the violin up and
down Despite the scratchiness of the
tones, l recognized something in their
quality which caused me to listen, street
fakir though he was. There was some
thing sweet and delicious about the notes,
although he played execrably. The mel
low spirit of the ages seemed to lurk in
that beautiful box, and l listened just as
connoisseur Of rare wines will pause, sur

bouquet with genuine pleasure.
