FACTS WITH POINTS.
Every One of These Statements
Absolutely True.

Mr.. A. w. Sharper, 81 Prospect street,
Indianapolis, Ind, says: Gratitude prompts
me to write that Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets
completely cured me Of Nervous Dyspepsia
from which l had suffered for the last
four years. / had tried many remedies
without results, but am now cured and
have gained in flesh, sleep well and have
none but words of praise for Stuart s Tab
lets.
Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, Lynnville, Iowa:
''It has been six months since l took
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and am fully
cured. Have not had particle of distress
or difficulty since. This is in the face
of the fact that had suffered from stom-
ach trouble for twenty-five years and
was pronounced incurable by the doctors.
James Newmestes, Eau Claire, Wis, says:
1.-Two b0-cent packages of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets did me more good than any
remedy | had ever before tried They hit
the spot with me and / once more have
an appetite and can e at what l please
without fear of distress and bloating after
ward.
Dr. Harlandson relates the case of Miss
Helen Sholes, CT Nashville, who was cured
of dyspepsia and gained eighteen pounds
in weight after suffering from stomach
trouble for eight years. The doctor uses
them in all stomach troubles because they
are not secret patent medicine, but Con-
tain pure pepsln, diastase, fruit acids and
valuable 6ligestives, which digest the food
whether the stomach works or not, gives it
the needed rest and cure is the natural
result.
Dr. Jennison says nine-tenths of disease
is caused by indigestion and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the safest and best cure,
| because they are not a secret patent medi-
| cine but contain the valuable digestive
principles needed by every weak stomach,

Heavy Fines Upon Offenders.
LAWYER JONES' OBJECTION
He Saws the Increased Penalties

little game OF crap, when they were
surprised and captured by Policemen
Douglas and Potter. When arraigned in
police court this morning, Burrows could
not be proven To have taken part In the

the benefit OF the doubt and let him go.
To the others he said:

subject of crap. Pm going to see If L

Il must differ with you there, Mr..

noticed that since increasing the fine
from ten to twenty dollars the cases OF
craps have fallen off one-third."

lawyer; "they are kept in the workhouse
