THE GREAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley, the Great E5e,,sh scientist, 
 Considered the Best start la Lifs.

What Huxley, the Great E3G''St Scientist,
 Considered the Best Start Ia Lirs.
 The great English scientist, Hux- ley, said the best start in life is a sound stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly because they lack the proper quantity of di- gestive acids (lactic and hydrochlor- ie) and peptogenie products; the most sensible remedy in all cases of indigestion, is to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets because they supply in a pleasant, harmless form Ill the ele- ments that weak stomachs lack.
 The regular use ofStuart's Dyspep- sia 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 complexion, because all these result only from wholesome food well digested,
 Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents, full sized package.

We'll, sir, that's Dr. Blank, the MOted surgeon I've known him ever since we used to frequent the same swimming hole. Just how long that was before tho war m not going to say. He beat me in the race for the girl that he married, and if he hadn't the chances are that the doctor would still be driving, night and day, over a little back county, attending to q prao- tice that couldn pay if it wanted to.
 "When they were back there in the woods and he was performing opera tions that no other member of the pro- fession had thought of undertaking, she gathered from the talk of friendly doc tors in the same section that he was original, daring and successful She begged him to advertise his abilities, but he sternly rebuked her for asking him to transgress the ethics of the pro fession.

One evening he came home from 36 hours stay with a patient to find that office so transformed in velvet car pet, tapestries and pictures that he flat ly declined to enter it. His wife was away on a visit Men had been there, done the work and disappeared. There were no bills, the home merchants knew nothing, and the doctor was so mad that he advertised everything for sale. The thing was told ill the local papers as a huge joke, aI.d incidentally there were related some of the stories of how he took people apart and put them togeth- CT again.
