WHAT Is THIS DISEASE
CALLED DYSPEPSIA?

Like thief at night it steals in upon us
unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull and sleepy
the mouth has a bad taste. especially in
the morning. A sort of sticky slime col
lects about the teeth. The appetite Is
poor, There is a feeling like a heavy
load in the stomach; something's a faint
all-gOne sensation at the pit Of the stom-
ach which food does not satisfy. Eyes are
sunken, the hands and feet become cold
aud feel clammy. After a while a cough
sets in, at first dry. but after a few
months it is attended with a greenish col
ored expectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep does not
seem to afford any rest. After time he
becomes nervous. irritable and gloomy
and has evil forehodings There is a gid
diness, a sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly Thu
bowels become costiye; the skin is dry
and hot at times; the blood becomes thick
and stagnant; the whites Of the eyes be-
come tinged with yellow: the urine is
scanty and highly colored, depositing q
sediment after standing. There is fire.
quently a splitting up of blood. sometimes
with a sour taste and sometimes with
a sweetish taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation of the heart; the
vision becomes impaired with spots be-
fore the eyes; there is a feeling of great
pr0stration and weakness. All of these.
symptoms are in turn present. 1t is
thought that nearly one-third Of our pop
ulation has this disease in some of its
terms. 1t has been found that medical
men have mistaken the nature of this dis
ease. Some have treated it for a liver
complaint, some for dyspepsia, others for
Kidney Disease, etc, etc, but none Of
the various kinds OF treatment have been
attended with success.

an increase of nerve power.

to vigor and courage. The pale, thin and

plumpness, because red blood and fat are

WHY GERMAN LASDNWH Era DIS.

a writer in the North American Re
view gives as reason why the Ger
man land owners dislike America il be-
cause we are shipping enormous guam
titles Of breaGstuffs and meats TO that
country, besides many othc. products
that come In direct competition with
their products, which entails a grea. loss
upon them. The fact Is they would
gladly exclude such exports from every
country, and more particularly from
America, because we send cheaper and
better stun than is raised by themselves
at home.
Besides an exclusion would give them
4 monopoly, and we all know what a
monopoly means. They cannot. view
with complacency a dminu.ion Of their
profits. and this is what foreign importa-
ton means TO them The result is Amer
lean made goods receive no favors at the
hands OF these people. 1t is difficult to
say to what extent this feeling may
grow, but the hope is that the general
government may regard II infinitely bet
ter that the people In general should
nave cheap food. than that a few land
owners may grow rich at their expense.

a GREAT AND WEALTHY cry.

In commenting upon n certain CORE
spondence in the New York Journal
from Norfolk the Lynchburg Advance
mas the following to say regarding the
future Of this city:
IT is interesting to know that as
iate as the middle Of the last century
norfolk en!oyed q better prospect
tnan New York to become the great
est commercial city Of the country
upon the Atlantic seaboard The
hlroor at Hampton Roads is deeper
and more capacious than that of
New York, and it is nearer to the
great centres OF population and pro-
ductlon In the West and Northwest
Norfolk is nearer TO Chicago than is
lie city Of New York. Considered
from their respective geographical
conditions and claims. Norfolk pos
Sesses superior advantage as TO New
ork as z great seaport and mari
time city"
Cur contemporary is OF the opinion thai
1t would be vain to expect that any
other Atlantic port can ever now catch
up with New York. yet 1t is neverthe-
less an assured fact that Norfolk is des-
tined In the not remote future TO be-
come a great and wealthy city, and to
imports OF the South. the West ana
Northwest. She, and her young sister
across the arm Of the Bay, Newport
News, are rapidly growing as seaports
and are drawing much OF the exports
OF grain and other products which were
accustomed to seek New York. There
is q great future for our Virginia ports.
This is all very true, and unless some
great calamity overtakes us, we ar,
gong 10 be the greatest export city
IN the country, second only to New York.
ana 1t need not occasion any surprise if
IN time we shall be abreast of the ma
tons metropolis. All that our conten
porary predicts for us vii lbc realized
ana the day OF such realization is has
tening.

But the strongest reason against

The trusts elected Mckinley, with the
ala or other combinations of organized
capital. This, in the Judgment of many
was serving q good purpose, but they
forget that the same power may be used
against their cherished purposes In the
future
Our contemporary says, and says very
truly, that they extort vast sums from
the people on capital that is for the most
part wholly fictitious. This, in fact, is
the life and essence of the trusts The

il so large a sum us $1,000, 0C0 was ever

Trust. now under investigation in New
York, with capital put at $4,000 900, is
claimed never to have had to exceed
S3.0O0.000 in It's business This watering
OF stock Is general throughout the en-
tire list of trusts. They must be con-
Quoted SO rs to pay dividends on these
enormous sums Of inflated and maturcd
stocks. This means extortion and
the crushing out Of competition. The
mead or the Sugar Trust testified before
the New York committee OH Saturday
that 1t had made All average of 10 to
10 per cent. on q capitalization or s75,-
C0o,Oo0 for some years past And he
added: Il would not go into n business
that did not pay 10 to 16 per cent, or
even 20 per cent" It's manager has been
in Canton holding frequent conferences
with Major Mckinley and Mark Hanna
as to how its interests can best be pro
tected. It was a lavish campaign con-
tributor.
Once convinced Of the existence and
power OF such monstrous evil as these
trusts have become, the American peo-
PIE should find L remedy for their ex-
| tension. Very little, if any, hope is eS-
| pected from the incoming administers
ton for the relief of the people, ana
