bitter. sour, burning taste in the
mouth is often present. This con
dittion soon becomes chronic and
being an every day Occurance is given
but little attention. Because dyspep
Sia is not Immediately fatal, many
people do nothing for the trouble.
Within recent period a remedy
has been discovered prepared solely to
ure dyspepsia and stomach troubles
is known as Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets and is now becoming rapidly
used and prescribed as radical cure
for every form of dyspepsia.

organized through the efforts of Rev. ]. H.

The fourth society. the Young Peoples
Union. originated in the Detroit conference
late in 1887.
The last Of these societies to be formed
was the North Ohio Conference Methodist
Episcopal Alliance 1t had been in exist
ence but short time when it was merged
into the Epworth League.
representatives Of these five societies
met in Cleveland. Ohio. in May. 1889, and
after a conference of several days a
formal union was formed on the 18th Of
that month.

equipped. Started as it was amid s.,iritual
surroundings. it has continued to grow and
increase until today 1t is a vast army of
about 100000 young enthusiastic Metho-
dists. who are ever looking up to Christ
