INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
OF an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of Dys
pepsia After Suffering for Twenty-Five


Mrs. Sarah A. Skeals, an estimable
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper Co.,
Iowa, was for twenty-five years suffer
e. from Dyspepsia. and her complete
restora ton to health is so markable
that We present the facts in the case for
the benefit Of our readers, many of whom
have doubtless suffered in the same
manner and will, therefore. be interested
in learning how all stomach troubles
may be avoided and cured. Mrs. Skeels
says: I used only one package OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and L receiv-
cd such great and unexpected benefit
that l wish 10 express my sincere graft
tude. In fact it has been six months
since took the medicine and l have not
had one particle OF distress or difficulty
since. And all this in the face Of the
fact that the best doctors l consulted
told me my case was incurable as l had
suffered for twenty-five years. 1 want
half dozen packages TO distribute
among my friends here who are very
anxious TO try this remedy.
Truly yours,
MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing in
digestion and stomach trouble and the
IGdeDE vi. II never OlSstlJDC4ILS LttcSS
who need it and use it is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what It VIII
actually perform. 1t is not a cure-al
and no such claims are made for it. It
is prepared for the sole purpose OF curing
indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure Dys-
pep5ia as well as hundred other
troubles. When as a matter OF fact a
remedy to cure Dyspepsia must be PFC
pared especially for that and nothing
else; and among all the renedits, patent
nostTuns, bitters, etc. so extensively adj
vertised you will find that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the only one advertised
as a cure for Dyspepsia and nothing
else. The remedy is prepared by the
Stuart Co. OF Marshall, Mica, and for
sale by all druggists at 80 cents per pack
age, and if You suffer from any form OF
arrangement or indigestion a
trial viii not disappoint you.

BIG ACCIDENT INSURANCE
Companies Must Paw, Notwithstanding the
Peculiar Circumstances

st. Louis, Feb. 4.-The United States
court of appeals has rendered a decis-
ion affirming the judgment of the lower
court in the case of the heirs of A. c
Mitchell, resident of Memphis who was
killed by falling from train while
returning home from St Louis. Before
starting for home Mitchell took out S62-
600 accident insurance distributed among
seven companies. The large amount of
insurance Mitchell carried and the cir
cumstances OF his death, which occurred
so soon after taking out the policies,
caused the insurance companies to con-
test payment. After one mistrial the
beneficiaries of the policies obtained a
judgment for the full amount, which has
gust been affirmed. The beneficiaries Of
the policies are Mitchell's sister, Mrs. A.
=: Chiles., AMI her daughter, Miss Henri
Chiles, OF Memphis.

HAS ENGINEERED BIG DEALS
ana NOW, at the Last, Addison Cammack's
Wife Engineers Him.

New York, Feb. Addison Cammack.
the last of the picturesque figures who
made Wall street what it is, has surpris-
ed the street by selling his seat on the
stock exchange, the purchaser being
Henry j. Ditman, the price being s25. 900.
In spite Of three or four millions he
amassed on the street, Mr.. Cammack
IS now practically poor man, it is said.
His means is said to be investigated in
real estate and in holdings OF his wife,
who opposed his continuing in the street
and the big operator in consequence was
without money with which to carry on
any but the smallest deals.
In the last two or three years Mr.. Cam
mack is said 10 have lost nearly all the
ready money in his possession. quite a
large sum. Then Mrs. Cammack put her
foot down. The property is in her name
and when she was asked for money she
refused to advance it for use in specuia-
ton. She argued that her husbands for
tune was ample and that there was no
use in risking ii in the hope of making
more money, which was not needed. The
practical view Of the side of the situa-
ton she finally succeeded in impartins
TO her husband and the result is his
NlIDurdWal.
Mrs. Cammack was a Miss Hildreth OF
Washington and she was married to Mr..
Cammack twelve years ago. At the time
he settled 81 1000, 600 on her and since then
has given her three or four times as
much. They have TWO sons, aged 10 and
II. Mrs. Cammack is 81 years of age,
while her husband is Il.
Mr.. Cammack was blockade runner
during the war and then began his ca
reer on the stock exchange. AS a specu-
lator he soon made national reputa-
ton and went into business for himself
with Charles F. Woerishoffer He en-
gineered the collapse of the Northern Pa
ciiic in 1883. During his life in the south
he frequently acted for Jay Gould and
Commodore Vanderbilt when they had
any deals which they wished 20 put in
the hands of specially daring operator.
