The recent turn of events in the lar east
has justified the wisdom of Great Britain's
naval policy. For many years the people
and government of England have proceed
ed upon the theory that they must Keep
their navy equal in power to that OF any
three powers which might combine against
Great Britain. Whenever tho growth OF
other navies has threatened to strike down
this superiority of England To any tnree
possible rivals, parliament has voted large
sums to the building of new ships. IL Is
not many years-only three or four-slnce
Great Britain's naval budget contained an
appropriation of sos, 100000 for new
ships alone. Some of the vessels then pro-
vided for are now in commission.
1t is due to this policy of naval oonstruc-
ton, to the superiority of her navy, tnat
England feels the confidence ana compo-
sure which mark her in this eastern Crisis:
She is still supreme upon the seas, anu
for the present at least has little TO rear.
But, as may be seen by close scrutiny OF
the figures which have given above, Eng

DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDI-
CINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and StOm-
ach Troubles.

DR.. Wurth, in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine, said: There is
none which Is certain to be SO valuable
and far reaching in benefit as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, the new stomach
remedy; 1 say far reaching, because
people little realize how important a
sound stomach and vigorous digestion
is to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Bright's
disease, diabetes, nervous prostration,
liver troubles; why is this so? Simply
because every nerve, muscle and tissue
in our bodies is created and nourished
from the food we eat. If that food is,
by reason of a weak stomach, COM
PEELED to lie for hours, a sour, ferment-
ing mass of half digested food, it pois-
ons the blood and nervous system, Gre
ates gas which distends the stomach
and bowels, causing pressure on the
heart, lungs and other organs and SER
iously impeding their action.
He says further, the point to direct
attention is not the nerves, nor the
heart. nor lungs, nor kidneys, but the
stomach, the first cause of all the mis-
chief
The remedy to use for indigestion
and weak stomach is not some cathar-
tic but remedy which will digest the
food, increase the flow of gastric juice,
absorb the gases, and Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will accomplish exactly this
result in any case of stomach trouble,
because these tablets are composed of
the digestive acids, aseptic pepsin,
golden seal and bismuth, pleasant to
taste, and not being a patent medicine,
can be used by anyone with perfect
safety. I believe Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form OF indiges-
tion and stomach trouble except cancer
Of the stomach.
Full size packages of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at
90 cents or by mail from F. A. Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. A book on stom-
ach diseases together with thousands
of testimonials will be sent by address
ing above or call on your druggist for
them.
