NO FAITH CURE
ABOUT sTUARTs DYSPEPSIA TAB
LETS.
They Cure stomach Troubles and In
digestion Anyway, Whether You
Have Faith In Them or Not.

All physicians agree that the element
OF faith has great deal to do in the
cure OF disease.
Firm belief and confidence in a family
physician or the same confidence and
faith in a patent medicine have pro-
duced remarkable cures in all ages.
This is especially true in nervous
troubles and no field offers so prolific a
harvest for the quack and charlatan as
the diseases arising from weak or run
down nervous system.
Nevertheless the most common OF all
diseases, indigestion and stomach
troubles. which in turn, cause nervous
diseases; heart troubles, consumption, and
loss of flesh, require something besides
faith 10 cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food
for YOU, will not give you an appetite
will not increase your flesh and strengthen
YOUR nerves and heart, but Stuarts Dys-
nensia Tablets will do these things, be-
cause they are composed of the elements
of digestion, they contain the juices,
acids. and peptones necessary to the d.
gestion and assimilation of all whole
some food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food IL placed in a jar or bottle in water
heated TO 9S degrees. and they will do 1t
much more effectively when taken into
the stomach after meals, whether you
have faith that they will or not.
They inyigorate the stomach, make pure
blood and strong nerves. In the only way
that nature can do II, and that Is, from
nIentv of wholesome food we'll digested.
II 4. not what we eat. but what we digest
that does us good

druggists at SO cents for full-sized pack

He KEPT THE RING.-There was 9
very interesting case in the police court
of Richmond on Saturday. r. f.
Thacker, a young Brunswick county
man, who recently went to Richmond,
was charged with cheating Mrs. III. l..
Allen out of board bill. Mrs. Allen
keeps boarding house on Clay street.
Thursday Thacker had apparently been
drinking and was very laxative.
Among the guests at the house was
Miss Jessie Boiling, daughter of Gen.
Stith Boiling, of Petersburg. She had
upon one of her fingers fine diamond
ring. Thacker asked to be allowed to
inspect it and it was handed to him.
He placed the ring on his finger. Final
ly he left the house without giving the
ring up and did not return. Miss Boil
ling would take no action against the
young man because of the publicity the
proceedings would give. So in hope Of
recovering the ring Mrs. Allen had the
man arrested for not paying his board
bill. He was taken into custody in
Petersburg Friday afternoon and
taken to Richmond. The case was dis
missed in the police court on q techni-
cality. 1t is understood that the ring
has now been returned.

THE National Theatre in Washing
ton was crowded yesterday evening
with an applauding audience, who
listened with approval to Mr.. Robert
Ingersoll's so called argument against
the Christian religion. If Mr.. 1ngersoll
would offer those who derive consola'
ton from their religion any thing in
exchange for the faith he would des-
troy, he might not be 80 censurable,
but to take away the little they have to
comfort them, and leave nothing in its
place, shows that he is monster. But
he could find no more sympathetic
audience any where else than in Wash
ington, for that has become almost as
corrupt and immoral city as any other
in the world. And General Washing
ton said there could be little hope for
morality unless it be founded upon re-
lipiOn.

IT Is reported that General Fitzhugh
Lee telegraphed to Secretary Olney
that he could not and would not
stand another Ruiz murder" 1t Is ex
tremely doubtful if he ever did any thing
of the kind, but if he did, he, too, has
realized the i'll effects of being too pre-
vious, for it now appears that Ruiz, a
dyuamiter, was not murdered at ALL
but died from natural causes in prison.
The people in this country who have
served time in military prisons and have
experienced the hardships of such I'M
prisonment are not at all surprised that
some of those in similar prisons in Cuba
have died; indeed the wonder with them
is that in the tropical climate of that is
land the mortality among the prisoners
has not been greater than has been re-
DOrted.

MONDAY VIEWING. MAR. 1, 1887.
No BODY has ever had good opinion

No BODY has ever had a good opinion
of Senator Sherman's sincerity since he
swors he didn't remember whether he
had written the famous Weber letter,
by means of which the vote of Louisl-
ana was counted for Hayes, and he,
Sherman, made Secretary of the
Treasury and thereby became a
multi millionaire. AS Secretary of
State, what may be expected
of him can be anticipated by the
fact that he voted for resolution TO
make a peremptory demand upon
Spain for the immediate and uncondi-
tional release of man who had broken
the laws of that country and attempted
to save himself from the legitimate con-
SEQUENCES thereofon what, it is charged,
ara fraudulent naturalization papers,

had in his pocket letter from Secre-
tary Olney, addressed 20 him as chair
man of the foreign relations committee
of the Senate, telling him that the man
referred to would be liberated as soon as
orders to that effect could reach Cuba.
With the foreign affairs of this govern
ment in such hands, it is not unnatural
to suppose that it won't be long before
the limoges will have all the blood and
iron they want, and probably good
deal more, for foreign nations are be-
coming tired of the bellicose attitude
the United States have recently as
sumed toward them, and are disposed
rsciprocate in kind. The Presidents
declaration of war against Great Brit
ain sixteen months ago, the demand
upon France for the release OF negro
convict, the attempted interference with
Turkey in behalf of her Armenian and
Cretan insurgents, the refusal to accept
an umpire because he is the King OF
Sweden and the bulldozing treatment
of Spaiu, have been such predisposlng
causes of hostility toward this country
that very little more is required to ex-
cite it to activity.

session, asking for an appropriation of
5000 for the purpose of having made
gorgeous belt of silver, with diamonds
studding, to be presented to the winner
of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons battle. 1t
is said that the governor has already
given his consent to sign the bill if it
passes. There is rumor that the Ne
vada legislature will indulge in legisla-
ton, which, if carried out, will make
Nevada sporting paradise. The idea
is to make the State general rendez-
vous of the wealthy sporting men,
where they can have all kinds of gam
bling, horse racing, prize fighting,
wrestling and other amusements.
Those who voted against the prize fight
now admit that it has brought large
amount of money into the State and an
orderly class of people.
