FOR THE BABY.
A Valuable Hint to Every Father and
 Mother.

There are two kinds of babies in the world; the kind who have too little nourishment, and the kind who have too much,
 The first kind of babies starve be- cause their stomachs are too weak to digest the amount of food necessary for their growth and healthful develop ment and the other kind are overfed. with the result that the delicate stom- ach and intestines are inflamed; and, as every mother knows, thousands of infants die yearly, when warm weather begins, from stomach and bowel dis orders.
 Opiates, soothing syrups and cathar- tics, however mild, are not what Is de- manded. Go to the root of the trouble, assist the child's digestion, give the little stomach the aid necessary to tho roughly and promptly digest it's food and the little one will thrive and grow and gladden. the mothers heart.
 To give perfect digestion to the child 1t Is only necessary to give in pleas ant form the harmless digestive con- tained in the well known tablets sold in drug stores under the name of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuart's Tab lets contain no so-called drugs, but are composed of pepsin, pure aseptic, fruit acids, starch digestives, and are put up in lozenge form. with sugar of milk, very pleasant to the taste, and have been used for years as the safest, best remedy for any form of indigestion and | stomach trouble in adults, but recently 1 ,,lx l.1 made in the cases of weakly babies who failed to grow and thrive as they 1 should.
 A Buffalo mother, a short time ago who despaired of the life of her babe, was so delighted with the results from giving the child these tablets, that she went before the notary public of Erie Co.,, N. Y., and made the following affi- davit:
 i Gentlemen:-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets were recommended to me for my two months old baby, which was sick and puny and the doctors said was suf- fering from indigestion. I took the child to the hospital but there found no relief. A friend mentioned the Stu art Tablets and I procured a box from my druggist and used only the large sweet lozenges in the box, and was de- lighted to find they were just the thing for my baby.
 l feel justified in saying that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets saved my childs life. MRS. W. T. DETHLOPF.
 Subscribed and sworn to before me this 18th day of April, 1S97
 HENRY KARIS Notary Public in and for Erie Co.,, N. Y
 For babies, no matter how young ol delicate, the tablets will accomplish wonders in increasing flesh, appetite and growth. Use only the large sweet tablets in every box. Full sized boxes are sold by all druggists for 50 cents and no parent should neglect the use oi this safe remedy for all stomach ant bowel troubles If the child is ailing il any way regarding it's food or asstmi lation
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets has beer known for years as the best prepara tion for all stomach troubles whether in adults or infants.

BERLIN.

BERLIN, March 30, lS97.-If you and
your readers will pardon our egotism,
we will make our first attempt in life
to collect few dots for the newsy
columns of the HERALD.
Mrs. Lizzie Wiles, wife of Mr.. Berry
Wiles, died at her home near Lebanon,
Monday, night of pneumonia. Mrs.
Wills was member of the Methodist
church for many years, and was good,
kind mother. She leaves a husband
and several children to mourn her loss.
She was loved by all of her neighbors
was kind and charitable, ever ready to
wait on the sick and minister to the
wants of the needy. She was truly
good woman, and will be greatly
missed by all of her associates.
our big spring was on the rampage
last week, and spread itself all around
the neighborhood. On Thursday and
Friday it resem bled an over-grown
river. The picture presented from the
bluff of the spring was an awe-inspiring
one. The swollen stream was in an
ugly mood and swept with a fearful
valicity on its journey toward other
waters and greater floods.

ISOM.

IsoM, Mar. 29.-On the 18th of March,
at o'clock, a. m, the soul of Miss Mag
gle, daughter of Mr.. AMI Mrs. John
Bailey Love, took its flight. At the
time OF her death she was 30 years Of
age; her death was caused by burns re-
ceived a few hours before she died on
the day preceding her departure she
was alone in the house, her father and
brother being at work in n field on a
farm. She was preparing to cook din
ner, when she fell in the fire. She was
subject to spaSmS, and iC is supposed
that she was taken with one at this
time. The fact was discovered by some
men in field near by, who ran to her
assistance but arrived too late. for her
clothes were almost burned off and her
body was blackenel AMI burned SO that
she could hardly be recognized. After
a few hours of the most intense suffer
ing, she was relieved of her pains and
called up higher. Deceased leaves two
| sisters, five brothers ami an aged father
to mourn their loss, her mother having
preceded her to the grave several years
ago. "But they sorrow not as those who
have no hope" for she had made her
peace with her God several years ago
and died as only christian can-sure
of home above. We extend our most
profound sympathy to the bereaved
ones. May they strive to live near the
Father, in order that they may receive
a crown of glory, and forever be with
! the loved ones who have gone on be-
! fore.
Miss Lizzie Kittrell is sick at this
writing. We wish for her speedy re-
covery, for she is greatly missed at
school.

from very pleasant visit to her sister,
Mrs. Ida White, of Beams Creek.

We have been waiting with the pa
thence of Job for our part of the wave

now under the broad banner of protec
ton and the gold standard.
