new MEDICAL DISCOVERY
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia

This may read as though we
were putting 1t little strong be-
cause it is generally thought by
the majority Of people that dys-
pepSia in its chronic form is in
durable, or practically SO. But
we have long siuce shown that
dyspepsia is durable: norris 1t such
difficult matter a. it first ap-
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 difficulty even if
IN some cases they do give a
slight temporary relief. Such
treatment Of the stomach simply
make matters worse. What the
stomach wants is a rest. Now
how can the stomach become
rested, recuperated and at the
same time the body nourished
and sustained
This is the great secret and
this is also the secret Of the uni
form success of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets. This is a compare
lively new remedy, but its sue
cess and popularity leaves no
doubt as TO its merits.
The tablets will digest the
food anyway, regardless of con-
dition of the stomach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia &C
cOrding to directions is to eat an
abundance Of good, wholesome
food and use the tablets before
and after each meal and the re-
suit will be that the food will be
digeSted no matter how bad your
dyspepsia may be, because as be-
fore stated, the tablets will di-
gest the food even if the stomach
is wholly Inactive. To illustrate
our meaning plainly, if You take
l60O grams Of meat, eggs or or
binary food and place 1t in a tenn
peraturc of q degrees, and put
with it ore of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets it 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
erly 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 rene
dies advertised to cure dyspepsia
none nf them has given so com
plete and general satisfaction rs
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
not least in Importance in these
hard time is the fact that they
are also the cheapest and give the
most good for the least money.

An Arcadian Community

On our return from attending
the Press Association, recently
held at DeL1nd, we stopped over
a few days to visit friends at
Crescent City, and as we were
impressed with several things
seen there, their publicity may
have more than a passing inter
est to our readers.

after we had an opportunity to
take a walk around the Area dian

perennial flower that is a distinc-

that favored spot will ship as
many boxes of oranges as 1t
did in the palmiest days of its
citrus history. In every direc-
ton the groves were clothed in
their dark, deep, olive, velvet
hued foliage, and the beauty and
inspiration of the scene height
ened by fragrant blossoms, that
in profuslon clustered among the
rich foliage and the gentle breeze
waited into space and rendered
the air redolent with their per-
fume. Here were not isolated
cases of a grove here and there
that had escaped the chilly and
frosted breath of Boreas, but
continuous groves, succeeding
one after another for miles, in the
full vigOr and beauty of un-
touched foliage, and many, white
with blossoms, promise a gener-
Gus WELD of fruit this season.
Mentally, we congratulated our
selves and the good, kind people
OF Crescent City, as We now do
publicly, at the good fortune that
was theirs and the bright hopes
and pleasing prospects that were
growing more real and tangible
as the bright sunshine and de-
llclous ozone of each succeeding
day brought nearer to them the
full fruiting Of their hopes and
labOrS.

not seen this season elsewhere in
