NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
a Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.

This may read as though we were
putting it little strong because it is
generally thought by the majority OF
people that Dyspepsia in its chronic
form is incurable, or practically so. But
we have long since shown that Dyspep-
STA is durable, nor is it such a difficult
matter as it first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex-
tremes or else deluging the already
after dinner pills." etc. which invar-
iably increase the difficulty even if in
some cases they do give a slight tenn
porary relief Such treatment of the
stomach simply makes matters worse.
What the stomach wants is a rest. Now
how can the stomach become rested, re-
cuperated and at the same time the
body nour1shed and sustained.
This is a great secret and this is also
the secret of the uniform success of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a COM
paratively new remedy, but its success
and popularity leaves no doubt as to its
merits.
The tablets will digest the food any,
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia accord
ing to directions is to eat an abundance
OF good, wholesome food and use the
tablets before and after each meal and
the result will be that the food will be
digested no matter how bad your dys-
pepsia may be, because as before sta
ted, the tablets will digest the food even
If the stomach is wholly inactive. To IL
lustrate our meaning plainly, if you
take 1880 grains of meat, eggs or ordi-
nary food and place it in temperature
of SO degrees, and put with it one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it will di-
gest the meat or eggs almost as per-
fectly as if the meat was enclosed with
in the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak
yet these tablets will perform the work
of digestion and the body and brain
will be properly nourished and at the
same time a radical, lasting cure of
dyspepsia will be made because the
much abused stomach will be given, to
some extent, a much needed rest. Your
druggist will tell you that of the many
remedies advertised to cure dyspepsia
none of them has given so complete and
general satisfaction Stuart's Dyspep-
sit Tablets and not least in Importance
in these hard times is the fact that they
are also the cheapest and give the most
good for the least money.

stomach trouble sent free by addressing

LEcoMProN VOTED WRONG.
Did Not Use the Australian Ballot
and Must Vote Again.

Information reached the attorney
generals office today that the election
held at Lecompton, Douglas county.

without regard to the Australian ballot
law. This means that another election
will have to be held, as under the law
such an election is wholly illegal. In
regard to the matter Attorney General
Boyle said:
AN election conducted in any other
way except under the Australian ballot
law is of no effect, and the people of
Lecompton will have to go to the trou-
BILE of holding another election. They
might as well have held a meeting in

LION AND THE LAMB.
Warning Schools of Medicine to Meet
in Topeka Together.

The committee in charge of the ar
engagements for the joint meeting of
the three medical societies of this state
at Representative hall the first week in
May, has issued a circular in which the
following appears referring to the three
societies meeting together.
Now who dares say the world does
not move? 1t has been but a few years
since they failed to speak as they pass
ed by. They all meet now in the con-
vention city at the same time-meet to
discuss matters of common interest.
Let the good work go on; the public
will reap the benefits"
The meeting will be from May 4 to 6,
and the meetings of three societies will
be held separately up to the evening of
May G. On that evening the societies
will meet together, and papers will be
read by representatives of each of the
three schools. The fact that lower rail-
road rates be secured is the principal
reason for the Joint meeting.

hates.

money of the state is in the hands of
Populist farmers.

I'D the chances are that he is a Pop

out the wealth represented by the rail-

corporations, over sixty per cent. of the
remainder is in the Populist party"
