DR.. Harlandson relates the case of Miss
Helen Sholos OF Nashville, who was cured
oil dyspepsia and gained Is pounds in weight
after suffering from stomach trouble for
eight years. The doctor uses them In all
stomach troubles because they are rot a
secret patent medicine. but contain pure
pepsin. Diastase, fruit acids and valuable
diGestivcs, which digest the food whether
the stomach works or not, gives it the need
ed rest and cure Is the natural result.
DR.. Jennson says nine tcnths Of disease
is caused by indigestion and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the safest and hest cure
because they arc not a secret patent medi-
cine. but contain the valuable digestive
principles needed by every weak stomach

ing absolutely harmless.

exceeding clear for one Of her years and she
fecounts with graphic spiritedness the many
trials of the colony in its early years and
the hardships of those who conquered the
wilderness. She has large family of chill
dren and grandchildren gathered around her
and bids fair from her present health to
live see the closing OF the nineteenth CEN
turv.
Last evening Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Heider-
