Get Strength, vigor, Clear COM
plexion and Good Digestion, Not
by Patent Medicine, But in Ma.
lures Own Way.
Any honest physician vii tell YOU that
there is hut one way to get increased flesh;
all the Patent medicines and cod liver oils
To the contrary notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way TO increase flesh
strength and vigor of mind and body, and
that is through the stomach by Wholesome
food well dipested. There is no reason or
common sense in any other method what
ever.
People are hin, run down, nervous pale
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their stomachs are weak
They may not think they have dyspepsia,
but me fact remains that they do not eat
enough food or what they eati not quickly
and properly digested as it should be.
DR.. Harlands0n says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secretion
Of gastric Juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to supply
what the weak stomach lacks. There are
several good preparations which will do this,
but none so readily as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which are designed especially for
all stomach troubles, and which cure all Iii
gestive weakness on the common sense plan
OF furnishing the digestive principles which
tie stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion First effects to increase the ap-
petite and increased vlgor, added flesh, pure
blood, and strength of nerve and muscle is
the perfectly natural result
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is tie safest
tonic known and viii cure any form OF ston,-
ach trouble except cancer OF the stomach

Paralyzed for Years.

PARALYSIS CAME FROM A FALL.

PARALYSIS CAME FROM A FALL.
From the Express, Los angeles, California.
Just think of a busy, hardworking man
paralyzed in the midst of his career, and
rendered useless.
That was the misfortune that befell James
A. Jones, of 1902 Alpine Street, Los Ange-
les, Cal, in September, 1891. Mr.. Jones
was born in the State where many of the
presidents come from-Ohio, but spent the
years in Iowa, from which place he went to
| Colorado, and in 1882 came to Los Angeles,
1t was small place then, before the boom
came along and pushed us forward a century
in the road Of progress, and Mr.. Jones fol-
lowed his occupation of carpenter ard builder.
While at work in September, 1891, he received
fall which Jared him considerably and he
lost the use of the lower part of his body
entirely, and his legs became dead weight.
A;plaster cast was put upon him by the doc
tors and they worked over him and did all
things possible to assist his recovery. But he
remained in the same condition.
In April 1898, he began to take DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The fol:

of bed and later in the month was able to
walk without crutches. Shortly after, still
continuing the pills he went to work at his
trade at Whittier, where he sustained a fall
and again injured himself and had to go to
bed, and the dread paralysis came on again.
Again the doctors worked with him but
without relief and he once more began to
take DR.. Williams Pink Pills The doctors
had given him bromides and iodidea, but
without effect Again tho pills drove the
paralysis into the background He said II
took them in accordance with directions, and
in connection with the use of cold sponge haths
found they were exceedingly beneficial
M. Jones is now able to walk again, and
he feels that the pills are the only thirr
that has done him any good In this connec.

me have done everything in their power.

A QUEER REQUEST.
A Texas Man Who Called Upon Con-
Kress to Name His Boy.


OF the many freak communications
which reach the capitol and the de-
partments one which came to the house
just before it adjourned is deserving of
the proverbial biscuit. The letter was
addressed to The Congress of the
United States in Washington Assem-
bied," and came from resident of a
small settlement in northeastern Texas
1t was written in an entirely earnest
spirit. 1t said:
Dear Mister Congressman: My dear
wife Amanda has just been blest by the
appearance of a healthy young boy. Me
and my wife can't agree on no name to
give the boy and we want you to help us
out. wants him called Dave and She
wants him called Cy, but she won't give
in neither will l. Now what we wan.
you to do is to have document passed
through your body giving him a handle.
Please attend to the matter as soon as
possible. Yours
sThe only person around the house to
whom the letter could have gone
through the regular system of dissem-
mating the miscellaneous mail was the
private secretary of Congressman
Bailey. He communicated the contents
of the letter to a number Of the EN-
ployes around the house. The other
afternoon the secretary sent out NUM-
Der kof typewriter letters to dozen or
more employees, enjoining them to meet
in one of the committee rooms.
When the clerks assembled, he pro-
posed that they, as substitute house OF
representatives in committee of the
whole should attend to the very urgent
communication which ne had received,
and that suitable name should be Sc
lected for the growing young Texan.
Accordingly a set of resolutions, stick
lerssin their form and precision, were
drafted, with seal attached and sigma
ture properly fixed, and sent to the
writer. They informed the Texan that
the congress had taken cognizance OF
his communication, and had acted ac-
cordingly. "The congress, exercising Il
power which was vested in it b. The law
of 1884" said the resolutions, hereby

Bensel, 303 Hennepin Avenue, the we'll
known Minneapolis decorator and painter.
For over ten years Mr.. Bensel was afflicted
with scrofula in an aggravated form, causing
running sores to continually form on the

we might say; for his daughter who is now
fourteen years of age had the terrible ncrv-
Gus aff1ction known St. Nitus' dance, and
has also been greatly improved by the use OF
these pills.
In relating his experience to a Tribune re-
porter, he said:
81 have had the annoyance nearly twelve
years, consisting chiefly of scrofulous tumOrs
on the back of my head and neck. | tried
many remedies without receiving the rellct
desired. 1t was after persistent efforts of q
friend to induce me to use Pink Pills for Pale
People, that yielded, and the result is tnat
now | cannot express my thanks tittlngly to
that friend for his persistency. | kno,o these
pills are good thing for scrofula. You can
see for yourself the dry marks and red spots
left on my neck, where formerly were erup-
tions that emitted matter and the vilest
humors of the blood. Now they don't even
itch, and believe am practically cured.
81 want to tell you too, about the great
benefit my daughter, who is now fourteen
years old, also received from the use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills. For two years she
had st. Vitus' dance and we did everything
we could hear of to relieve her, but have
never found anything that equals these pills.
She has used four boxes and is nearly cured.
We have great faith in them and will con-
tinue their use when afflicted.
