This, to my mind, knocked the bot

This conclusion relieved me of all
anxiety with respect to the negotia-
lions. The blackmailers were not to be

and commonplace; their threats might
be disregarded, and the money must

But / found myself in the presence of

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
For Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev. F. 1. Bell, a highly
esteemed minister residing in Weeds
port, Cayuga Co, N. Y, in a recent
letter writes as follows: There has
never been anything that [ have taken
that has relieved the Dyspepsia from
which l have suffered for ten years
except the new remedy called Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them
have had no distress at all after eat
ing and again after long years can
sleep we'll. Rev. F. l. Bell, Weedsport,
N. Y, formerly Idalia, Colo.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
markable remedy, not only because it
is certain cure for all forms of in
digestion, but because it seems to act
as thoroughly in old chronic cases of
Dyspepsia as we'll as in mild attacks
of indigestion or biliousness. A person
has dyspepsia simply because the
stomach is overWorked, all it wants is
a harmless, vegetable remedy to digest
the food and thus give it the much
needed rest.
This is the secret of the success of
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di-
gestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach but to every organ and nerve
in the body. A trial of this
splendid medicine will convince the
most skeptical that Dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles can be cured The
tablets are prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co., of Marshall, Mich, but
so popular has the remedy become that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can now
be obtained at any drug store at 30
cents per package. Send for book on
stomach diseases free.

him to scorn, then dragged him at her

rough and ignoble work, only to be

suit.
