advised to apply certain remedies, which

TORN UP STREETS,
And Some of the Disasters to Life
Which They Have Occasioned.

For months the streets of New York
have been reeking with poisonous odors.
ana this is also true of most cities in
America. These deadly gases have come
from the exposed sewer pipes, gas pines.
and from the turned-up soil saturated
with malaria. Every breath drawn has
carried some of these death germs into
the body.
The important question to us all is how
to prevent malarial disease, or, having
contracted it, how it can be cured.
Every one knows that the best physi-
clans always prescribe a stimulant for
such troubles. Nature must be assisted
and pure stimulants alone can do it. But
unless they are pure instead of assisting
they will injure. Prof. Henry A. Mott of
this city says: 1.-THE purity of Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey (as simple tests will
readily convince should recommend it to
the highest favor"
DR.. William r. Cutter says: "Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey contains no deleteri-
Gus or injurious qualities and its absolute
purity must recommend it TO general
use"
When the pulse boats feebly; when the
life seems low; when pains shoot through
the body and make existence a burden,
do not take drugs. They cannot help
you. Take a pure and life-imparting
stimulant, and such ore is Duffys Pure
Malt Whiskey. Care should be exercised
to take none but Duffy's. "A word 10 the
wise is sufficient

TO CURE NERVOUS DYS-
PERSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to sleep We'll, TO
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean, Make
Test of Stuurt's Dys-
pepsin Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an India
napOIis Gentleman.


No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. Peo-
pie having 1t think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring RENE
dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost
sight of; the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach. nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach SO much as
in nearly every other organ; in some cases
the heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in others
the bowels are constipated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with loss
of flesh and appetite, with accumulation
of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
Mr. A. w, Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows "A motive OF pure gratitude prompts
me to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets l have been a sufferer
from nervous dyspepsia for the last four
years; have used various patent medicines
and other remedies without any favorable
result They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects of the medicine
wore off l attributed this to my seden-
tary habits being a bookkeeper with little
physical exercise, but L am glad to state
that the tablets have overcome all these
obstacles, for have gained in flesh sleep
better, and am better in every way. The
above is written not for notoriety, but is
based on actual fact. Respectfully yours,
"A. w. SHARPER,
'61 Prospect St. Indianapolis, Ind"
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness
or disease except cancer of stomach. They
cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and
appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heart
burn constipation and headache.

diseases by addressing Stuart Co., Mar

LAND swINDLE SUSPECTED.
A Slick scheme by Which Imaginn-
BILE Areas Are Sold.

Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. 1O.-What is be-
Heved to be land swindle, similar to that
which has been worked in some western
states, is being operated by parties out
side of the state.
In West Virginia there are enormous
tracts of undeveloped timber and coal
lands lying in the interior, and this fact,
it is said has caused the swindIers to turn
their attention to them as an inviting field
in which to work their scheme.
A dispatch from Mcdowell county, lying
in the extreme southern portion of the
state, says that inside the last two months
deeds have been admitted to record there
purporting to convey several thousand
acres of valuable coal land for consdera-
lions aggregating several hundred thous-
and dollars, which are believed to be pure
~ fraudulent. There are now over 2,0O0,-
900 acres on the land books, while the
county only contains about 100000 acres,
all told.
The scheme of fraud is simple enough,
and has been worked by the same parties
for some time. The swindlers prepare a
deed for large tract of coal land in the
county and have it acknowledged before
some fictitious notary public in fara-
way state. They send it to Mcdowell
county, the dispatch states, to be record
ed, and have the clerk of the county
court forward them certified copies of the
deed from the record. This places them
in a position to dispose of the pretended
titles for a good price to unsuspecting
parties.
1t is not unusual for a stranger to turn
up at WEIGH which is the county seat
of Mcdowell county, with deed for sew
eral thousand acres of land which is all
sraight on the record, but when he comes
to look for the land he cannot find 1t.
These frauds are not committed by per-
sons in this state, to anybody's knowl-
edge, but are by outside parties. Efforts
are being made to ascertain their identify

are having hard luck this season. Only
one of them succeeded in killing a whale
this summer. and the fleet that will return
this fail, will bring only a small revenue
to their owners. The ships were late in
getting out of their winter quarters, on
account of the ice packing to the eastward
owing to prevailing westerly and south
westerly winds.
The ice, too, closed in early about the
wintering station at Herschel Island, and
the Mary Hume was the only one to reach
the bay close to the island The Others

houses on the island that were erected by
the whaling companies a few years ago.
