INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured
by stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
A New Discovery, but Not Patent Med
icine.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers n remarkab BILE
cure OF acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discoN-
cry, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate
seemed to sour and create acid and gases
In the stomach. he lad pains like rheu-
natism In the back, shoulder blades and
limbs, fullness and distress after eat
ing, poor appetite and loss of flesh; the
heart became affected causing paipita-
tion and sleeplessLess at night.
i gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS an
experiment. | finally bought a fifty-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at a drug store and gave them to him
Almost immediate relief was given and
after he had used four boxes he was to
all appearances fully cured
There was no more aciIity or sour wa
terry risings, no bloating after meals, the
appetite was vigorous and he gained be-
tween 10 and 12 pounds in weight of solid.
healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab.ets
are advertised and sold in drug stores yet

tion to any physicians line of remedies,
as they are perfectly harmless and can
be given to children or invalids or In any
condition of the stomach with perfect
safety, being harmless and containing
nothing but vegetable and fruit essences,
pure pepsin and Golden Seal.

Moving the Great Grain Crop.

The wheat crop of the United States for
this year of 1897 is estimated at 500, 0OO,-
600 bushels, one of the largest crops on
record, and fortunately for the farmers
the European demand has raised the price,
and is sending the golden grain eastward
at an unprecedented rate. Over 200, 0OO,
600 bushels will be demanded by the Old
World, and the shipment of this enormous
bulk is taxing the capacity of the rail
roads and grain carrying vessels on the
lakes, of canal boats and ocean steamers.
to the fullest extent.
OF the various routes to the seabOard,
the one via the Great Lakes, from Chica-
go, Duluth, and other distributing points
to Buffalo, and by the Erie Canal to New
York, is the cheapest. While the rail
roads are more expeditions, they are more
eXpenSive; hut the needs of the present
year have provided an unusual amount of
business for ALL The importance of the
great inland waterway is exemplifed this
year in the handling of large portion of
this important business with such speed
and economy as to make US marvel at the
great achievements of modern commercial
enterprise.
To show the increasing Importance of
the lake traffic, the total tonnage on the
30th of June last year was 1,410, 103, an
increase of So, 600 tons since last year;

Wheat and Silver in 1896 and 1897.

Bryan and his friends have been assert
ing recently that they never said wheat
and silver were yoked together in the
price movement, wheat going up and
down with silver. The Bryanites did
make the claim in the campaign of 1896
in the agricultural districts. They said
wheat prices have been steadily falling for
the past twenty years and more, and
that the demonstration of silver in 1873
was the cause. Silver, they asserted, was
bound to keep on going down until it was
remonetized. and wheat would have to
90 with it. The following table there
fore, of the prices of wheat and silver be-
tween September /, 1896 and the begin
ming of the same month in 1897 will be Of
interest.
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1897-10-21
Price l OF. silver

This table, which is taken from docu-
ment sent out by the Republican National
Committee, demonstrates the falsity of
the Bryanite' pretense that there was a
fixed correspondence between the prices
of silver and wheat. At the beginning of
September, 1896, just at the time when
the Bryanite canvass was at its height
prices of silver and of wheat, at the unit
of each, were equal. They parted com
pany, however, Immediately afterward,
and have never been within hailing dis
lance of each other since. Thirteen
months ago an ounce of silver would buy
a bushel of wheat. One month ago it
would have taken O7er ounces of silver
to do this. During those twelve months,
while the general tendency of silver was
downward, the tendency of wheat was
just as steadily upward. In the five
weeks which have passed since the last
entry was made in the foregoing table
prices of silver have gone up and down
several times and prices of wheat have
gone down and up, but they never went
in the same direction at the same time.
1t is no wonder that Bryan and his part
ners in duplicity have been recently sham
ed into dropping their pretense that the
price of silver determines the price OF
year is SO plainly against them that even
the most ignorant and thoughtless of the
SO, 800, 000'' now see the falsity of the
claim. The Bryanites, however, still
stick to their assertion that the prices of
the general line of staple articles are die
tated by silvers price. Here again, of
course, the evidence is overwhelmingly
against them. While the market figures
show heavy decrease in silver prices in
the past twelve months, and in three
months, there has been an advance in
nearly every staple product. The Bryan
lite fraud of relation between silver and
other commodities has been exposed
along the whole line, and the proof that
the leaders of that party were either igno-
ramuses or falsifers is now made plain to
all their dupes. [St. Louis Globe Demo
