new MEDICAL DISCOVERY


g
This may read as though we
were putting 1t a little strong l. E.
cause it is generally thought by
the minority of people that dys-
pepsia in its chronic form is in
durable, or practically so. But
we have long since shown that
dyspepsia is durable. norris 1t such
a difficult matter as it first APP
pears.
The trouble with dyspertics is
that they are continually dieting,
starving themselves, or going TO
opposite extremes or else delug-
ing the already overburdened
stomach with '.bitters." after
dinner pills" etc. which invaria-
bly, increase the 4 difficulty even if
IN some cases they do give a
slight temporary relief. Such
treatment CT the stomach simply
make IN alters worse. What the
stomach wants Is a rest. Now
how can The stomach become
rested, recuperated and at the
same time the body nourished
aud sustained.
This Is the great secret and
this is also the secret Of the uni
form SUCCESS Of Stuart's Dyspcp-
sin Tablets. This i a compare
lively new remedy. but its sue
cess and popularity leaves no
doubt as TO Its merits.
j be tablets viii digest the
food anyway. regardless OF con-
ditiOn of the stomach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia ac-
cOrding TO directions i to eat an
abundance OF good. wholesome
food and use the tablets before
and after each meal and the re-
suit viii be that the food will be
diSested no matter how bad your
dyspepsia may be. because as be-
fore stated, the tablets will di-
"eSt the food even if the stomach
l. wholly inactive. To illustrate
our meaning plainly, If You take
$500 grains Of meat, eggs or or
binary food ard place 1t in 4 tenn
perature OF o. degrees, and put
with it one of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets 1T will digest the
meat or eggs almost As perfectly
as If the meat was enclosed with
in the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so
weak yet these tablets Will per-
form the work of digestion and
the body and brain will be prop
arIy nourished and at the same
lime 4 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 rene
lies advertised to cure dyspepsia
none of them has given so COM
Dlete and general satisfaction as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
not least in Importance in these
lard time is the fact that they
are also the cheapest and give the
most good for the least money.

ST. Paul. March 22.-Tbe New York

Press from Havana says:
The first announcement on authority

Instructions from Washington TO Capt.

authority that a verdict declaring the
destruction Of the Maine 10 be the re-
suit of unavoidable accident would be
followed by an immediate request
from Capt. Sigsbee for court martial.
BY this mean only could he hope 10
purge himself of blame. Any such ac-
ton viii now be unnecessary on his
part as the finding of the court OF in
