WHAT IS THIS DISEASE
CALLED DYSPEPSIA?

Like a thief at night st steals in upon US
unawares. The patients nave pains about
the chest and sides. and sometimes in the
back. They feel dun and sleepy; the mouth
has n bad taste. especially in the morning.
a sort Of sticky slime collects about the
teeth. The appetite is poor. There is feel
ing like a heavy load on the stomach;
sometimes u faint. alI-gone sensation at
the pit Of the stomach which food does not
satisfy. Eyes are sunkon, the hands and
feet become cold and feel clammy. After
awhile a cough sets in. at first dry, but
after a few months it is attended with
greenish colored expectoration. The pa
tient feels tired all the while. and sleep
does not seem to afford any rest. After
time ne becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy. and has evil forebodings- There
is a giddiness. a sort Of whirling sensation
ia the head when rising up suddenly The
bowels become costive: 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 scan
~ and high colored depOsiting a sedl-
ment after standing There is frequently
a splitting up OF the food. sometimes with
a sour taste and sometimes with a sweet
sh taste; this Is frequently attended with
palpitatiOn of the heart; the vision be-
comes impaired with spots before the eyes;
there is a feeling of great prostration and
weakness. All Of these symptoms are in
turn present. 1t is thought that nearly one
third of our population has this disease in
some OF its varied fOrmsIt has been found
that medical men have mistaken the nat
ure Of this disease Some have treated 1t
for a Liver Complaint, some for Dyspep-
STA, others for Kidney Disease, etc, but
none of the various kinds of treatment
have been attended with success.
Now the Shaker Digestive Cordial
causes the food eaten TO be digested. This
will cause an appetite for more food,
and this being digested will result in an
increase of strength, an increase Of flesh
and an increase of nerve power.
The tired. weary feeling will give way
TO yigor and courage. The pale, thin and
emaciated will recover their color and
plumpness. because red blood and fat are
the result of properly dgested food.
A ten-cent trial bottle will produce re-
suit. Its good effect will be realized at
once. You will not have to take d dozen
bottles to find out if it is doing you any
good. Try it, and then give praise to the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, New York,
for the relief that you obtain.

The Maroa is the largest steamer that

One able-bodied white man is the physi-

one white man would demand for like ger

like a docile dog in obedience. The Mo-
raos' crew is divided into three tribes,
and each has its chief. The "serang' is
the high priest among them. His word is

experience in Liverpool with the Scotland
Yard men while he and his wife were on
a European tour.
Damon, a noted diamond thief, was
wanted badly in New York by the author
tiles about the time Mr. Brown and his
wife sailed.
The New York authorities wired de-

Brunswick. Ca, Dec 3.-President-elect
Mckinley will not make his much herald
ed visit to Georgia and Jekyl Island. 1t is
extremely doubtful if he comes south at
all A letter from headquarters of the re-
publican party, conveys this interesting in
formation. 1t is addressed to ex-Postmas-
ter Brown of this city. He is DESTROYS of
being Brunswick's collector of customs
under President Mckinley. Mr.. Brown
heard that the trip to Georgia was on and
included a visit to Mr.. Hanna's home at
Thomasville and few days quiet in the
exclusive confines Of the Jekyl Island Club
grounds. He wrote to know the why's and
wherefores of the Georgia trip and his an
swer was as stated above.
If Mr. Mckinley should come to Georgia
he would doubtless visit Jekyl Island. The
greatest of the great political and finan-
cial lights belong to the Jekyl Club and a
cabinet maker could do lots of carpenter

membership affords. Looking over the list

whole course of his stay for that matter
could get to Mckinley by fair means or
foul. The club membership is limited to
100 and the island is as exclusive as the
sultans domain. The fellow who gains
entrance beyond the wealth sacred por-
tails of the club house doors has not yet
been found. Occasionally cards are given
to the common herd, but these courtesies
are few and far between. Six miles of
