stands naked ca the banks of the Nile

THE OLD WAY.

We say The old way, but really it is \
very ccmmon one at present time and
many dyspeptics and physicians as well
consider the first step to take in at
tempting to cure ind;gest!ng is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods and re-
jecfng others or to greatly diminish
ohe quantity usually taken, in Other
words the starvation plan is by many
supposed to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure OF the star,
walton cure for dyspepsia has been prov
en- time and again, but still the moment
Dyspepsia makes it appearance a course
Of dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
Fish and unscientific to recommend Diet
ing or starvation to a man suffering
from Dyspepsia. because Indigestion it.
self starves every organ and every nerve
and every fibre in the body.
What The Dyspeptic wants is abund-
ant nutrition. which means plenty Of
good, wholesome, well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
70 digest 1t. This ia exactly the pur-
pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lelts are adapted and this is the method
by which they cure the worst cases oi
Dyspepsia, in other words the patient
eats plenty OF wholesome food and
|Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for
him. In this way the system is nour-
ished and the overworked stomach resi-
ed. because The tablets will digest the
food whether the stomach works or not.
One OF these tablets will digest 5000
grains OF meat or eggs.

skipped cut, was caught at Glenrock by
Sheriff Patton and brought back here

tried to make his escape, having sud-
denly awakened from his imaginary
dreams, but he was stopped at the car
door by Oscar Hicstand, who held him
until the sheriff returned. On Saturday
BenWeld was brought before Judge Lilly

being conclusive, the Judge sentenced
him TO 80 days in Jail, at which place he
