CATARRH OF The STOMACH.
a Pleasant Simple, But Safe EfectuaI
Cure For Tt.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual systems are a full or b1oat-
Gng sensation after eating, accompa-
MED sometimes with sour or watery-
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general play
ed out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the inter
Tor of the stomach could be seen it
would show Shiny, inf1amed cOndi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in z. treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has a
time to ferment and irritate the deli
cate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy di-
gestion is the one necessary thing to
do. and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the SAT-
est ana best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being
a patent medicine, can be used with
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. N. J. Booher Of 271O Dearborn St.
Chicago, Ill, writes: "Catarrh is a To-
cal condition resulting from a neglect
ed cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose becomes inf1am-
ed and the poisonous discharge there
from, passing backward into the throat,
reaches the stomach. thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of stomach without
cure, but today I am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. cannot find
appropriate words to express my good
feeling.
I have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as we'll as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of
stomach , biliousneSs, sour stomach,
heartburn and boating after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co, Marshall, Mich. The tablets can
be found at all drug stores.

Drive Ont Credit. Destroy Capital,
Prohibit Collection of Debts.
Sidney Inlenenifent


The Post-Inteliigeucer OF January - con-
tains q communication signed 'ePopulist. =
which IS Popuiisrn in a nutshell. pure and
undenlei. The chief purpose aimed at Is
a vindication OF the mortgage law passed
by the last legislature. That law has vir-
tually barred out capital from investment
in the state. at least. until certain pro-
visions OF the law are passed upon by the
supreme court
The great mass OF the Popuiis; party un-
doubleday would not indorse the fulnina-
tons of this correspondent: but neverthe-
less the sentiments he expresses are the
backbone OF Populism. The aninus. both
of the writer ana the party. is plainly Sc.
forth in the following:
We knew what we were doing when we
passed the laws: we intended 10 destroy
the credit system: we intended 10 deter
capital from coming into this state 10 be
loaned out; we do not propose that the
savings bank. the building and loan asso-
Citations insurance companies and the es-
tates or other countries and states shall
send their money here to be loaned .
we are going TO stop the credit business
and II We have not made sufficient law TO
Keep capital out of the state which Is sent
here 10 be loaned. We will carry the next
.S5a1iatG&c anu haSS laws loaI VIII pro-
hioit the collection of debts entirely .
We believe in destroying capital
This is a fair illustration Of Popullstic
economics. To adopt such purposes would
relegate our people to a worse condition
than the aborigines. Observe the purposes:
To drive out capital; to prohibit the coli
lection OF debts; TO destroy capital,
To the average balanced mind il must
seem strange that persons possessed with
such vagaries have sense enough to keep
out o. the insane asylum. There is not a
county in the state. probably that is not
more or less injured by this Populistic
mortgage law. There are hundreds of op-
portunities where capital might be in
vested, both TO the advantage OF the resi-
dent owner and to the capitalist. but this
law prevents the owner from giving the
capitalist security for his money; hence.
he prefers TO hold on to il.
1t is almost incomprehensible that men.
VINO otherwise seem to be rational. are
ready TO turn over the county. state and
nation TO the dreamers of such madness.
