TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
apolis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia,
People having it think that their
nerves are to blame and are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve medi-
cine and spring remedies; the real seat
of the mischief is lost sight of; the
stomach is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irreg-
ular; in others the kidneys are affect
ed; in others the bowels are consti-
pated, with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
St, indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines

cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

pepsia for the last four years; have

FISHING FOR HUMPBACK AND
SULPHUR BOTTOM WHALES
11-Ir,r1 e,rryr, ,rE1c AMI n11rn1

Newfoundland is about to follow the
example of Norway in making the
humpbacks and fin whales, which are
said at the present time to be found in
immense numbers round the coast, the
objects of sympathetic pursuit. For
this purpose a company has been
formed at St Johns, and the superin-
tendent of fisheries has organized a
fleet of small steamers, with harpoons
and bomb firers, such as are used in
Norway, to carry on the fishery. There
is, perhaps, something misleading about
the use Of the term fishery" for it
seems to imply that whales are fish
es." OF course, every one knows that
