DR.. WURTH's OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN
MEDICINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy
for Dyspepsin. Indigestion and
Stomach Troubles.

DIR. Wurth in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine said: There is
none which is certain to be so valuable
Dyspepsia Tablets, the pew stomach
remedy; / say far reaching, because peo-
! ple little realize how important a sound
stomach and vigorous digestion is to
every man. woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of con-
sumption, heart disease, Bright's dis
ease. diabetes, nervous prostration, liver
troubles: why is this so? Simply be,ause
every nerve, muscle and tissue in our
bodies is created and nourished from the
food we eat II that food IL, by reason
of a weak stomach, compelled to lie for
hours sour fermenting mass of half
digested food, 1t poisons the blood and
nervous system, creates gas which dis
tends the stomach and bowels. caus ng
| pressure on the heart, lungs and other
| organs. and seriously impeding their ac-
i ton.
He says further, the point to direct at
| tention is not the nerves, nor heart nor
lungs, nor kidneys. but the stomach. the
first cause of all the mischief.
| The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic but
| a remedy which will digest the food, in
! crease the flow of gastric juice, absorb
| the gases, and Stuart's Dyspepsia T b.
lets will accomplish exactly this result in
| any case of stomach trouble, because
| these tablets are composed of the tliges-
| tive acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden Seal
| and bismuth, pleasant to taste, and t
| being a patent medicine, can be used by
anyone with perfect safety. / believe
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any
| form of indigestion and stomach trouble
! except cancer of stomach.
! Full size packages of Stuarts Dyspep-
sia Tablets are sold by druggists at 50
cents or by mail from F. A. Stuart Co.,

eases together with thousands Of testi-
monials will be sent by addressing above

mo one can gainsay the statement of

that the future promises well. Market
conditions in Wall Street are she things
TO consider now, after the great rise that

is shown by the small borrowing de-
mand, and no one will dispute the state
ment that there has been much liquida-

As an indication of what may be ex-

time the action of Pacific Mail yesterday
is most suggestive. This stock has been
the best of the list from the point of
view of the bulls for the last two weeks.
Its advance has been the most rapid and
steady. Yesterday during the early buy
ing it went up to A "a, an advance of
IA points. Immediately after the turn
in the general list began, however, Pacific
Mail began to tumble. and it went below
the opening price. The close showed no
advance for the day. Two or three other
stocks that have followed the lead of Pa

Mr.. Charles L. Howell. the Washington
representative of Bachman & Co., is most
bullish on these two stocks. He said yes
terday to a reporter for The Times:
The ultimate intention is that Metro
politan shall sell at 200, and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit at 100, and that they shall
be consolidated on the basis of two shares
of Brooklyn Rapid Transit for one of
Metropolitan. The earnings of the system
will then be enough for an per cent
dividend. This may seem like a fairy ta.e
now, but it will come to pass nevertheless
in the course of time"

matter what one may think of ii as

Many people suppose that the use
of mahogany for the manufacture OF
furniture is very ancient. AS a mat
ter of fact, the first record we have
of this rare wood is in 1895, when Sir
Walter Raleigh repaired one of his
ships with it in the port of Trinidad,
The next we hear of mahogany is
many years later, when an Englishman
who was sailing from one of the West
Indies used quite lot of what ap-
peared to him rough lumber for bal
last, and when he arrived in England
and found his brother building a house
he gave this apparently ill-featured
timber to him for his house. When
his brother turned the lumber over
to his carpenters, they refused to use
1t, because it was so hard thatit spoiled
their tools; so its use for building that
house was abandoned.
His wife, however, a short time after
gave some of this wood to her cabinet
maker in order to have him make for
her candle box. He, too, complained
of the hardness of the wood and its
effect upon his tools. The candle box
was finished at last, however, and it
was so handsome, having taken on such
beautiful polish, that this box be,
