TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To GAIN Flesh, to Sleep Well, TO Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Make Test OF stuarts Dyspop-
sia Tablets,
Interesting Experience OF an Indlanapo-
liz Gentleman.

No trouble Is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia,
People having II think that their nerves
are to blame, are surprised that they are
not cured by nerve medicines and spring
remedies; the real seat Of mischief Is
lost sight OF; the stomach is the organ
to be looked after,
Nervous dyspeptlcs often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any Of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not IN the stomach so much
as In nearly every other organ. In some
cases the heart palpitates and Is lrregu-
lar in others, the kidneys are affected;
in others the bowels are constlpated,
with headaches; stlll others are troubled
with loss OF flesh and appettte. with the
accumulation Of gas, sour rislngs and
heartburn,
Mr. A. w. Sharper ofNo, 81 Prospect
ST.. Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"A motive Of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stewards
Dyspepsia Tablets / have been a suf-
ferer from nervous dyspepsia for the
last four years; have used various natent
medicines and other remedies without
any favorable result. They sometimes
gave temporary relief until the effects
of the medicine wore of, attributed
this to my sedentary habits, being n
bookkeeper with little physical exercise.
but i am glad to state that the tablets
have overcome all these obstacles, for
have gained In flesh, sleep better, and
am better in every way, The above is
written not for notoriety, but is based
ON actual facts"

there are now outstanding about $50

markets showing how widespread
the system has become
THE GLASGOW MARKET,
Gin a central and convenient local
fty the authorities have a tract of
tW enty acres or more occupied with a
great rooted live stock market, having
accommodations for many thousands
OF animals. Adjoining on one side is
a separate market for dressed beef etc,
and on the other side extensive
slaughter houses. All the trading in
live animals in Glasgow, i e, in native
British animals, is done in this cattle
market, and from 100000 to 500, 900
cattle, sheep, etc, pass through it an
nually.
In addition to these there is at the
docks an extensive establishment eX-
clusively for the reception and Slaugh-
ter of beeveS from the United States;
provision existing for the treatment
of two thousand at a time. The an
nual Importation of these cattle is
about 10000 head all of which must be
slaughtered at the docks as a Drecau-
ton against contagious disease. For
Canadian cattle, similar number OF
which are imported, there is ample
provision maze Dy the city authOrl-
ties on the opposite side OF the harbor
The city has market property valued
at about 81, 200, 900 not including the
cattle yards and abattOirs; and the in
debtedness of the market account is
perhaps 100000. The income OF the
market trust from rentals, slaughter
house booths, etc, is $780, 900 per an
mum, and the total expenditure. in
Guiding both interest and sinking fund
comes well within that amount. So
that the market undertaking is Incl
dentially, a source of net revenue -

THE BERLIN MARKET.
Berlin opened in 1888, two great
establishments wholly superceeding a
business that a few years before had
been distributed through nearly a
thousand slaughter houses and yards.
The cost OF the Berlin institutions, in
Guiding the great central cattle mar
ket which comes under the same ad-
ministratiOn department aggregated

20. 600. 900 marks.

kets is now the rule, rather than the
exception in the leading towns of Ger
many and that it is by no means con-
fined to the largest places. The Ber-
lin cattle market, unlike the slaughter
houses, is allowed to earn profits, and
it easily pays net sum OF half a mil
lion marks a year into the city treas

in Europe, pages 1854.
THE PARIS MARKET.
adjoining the huge abattoir are
the municipal cattle yards and mark
cts, with Accommodations for scores of
thousands OF animals. Lately there
has been added a large establishment
called the Sanitarium, in which ami
mails subject for any reason to suspic-
ion OF Infectious disease are held in
quarantine pending examination. The
cattle trade is admitted to the use of
the stock yards on payment of mod
crate fees, while all butchers in like
manner have access to the abattOirs
subject to proper regulations.
The average income from this source
has, for some years, been about mil
lion francs, which is amply remunera-
tive, Shaw's Municipal Govern
ment in Europe. Page 100.
THE BUDAPEST MARKET.
'Tbe food supply of Budapest has
been brought under suitable public
control. The great municipal slaugh-
ter house is one of the establishments
in which the citizens take especial
pride. 1t is very imposing architec-
turally, is finely appointed, and as a
public monopoly, is made to contrib
ute to the municipal Golfers while
serving a sanitary end. Connected
with it are the public cattle markets
which well repay a visit on weekly
market days for their splendid herds
of long horned white OXenof Hunga-
ry and Servia. (Shaw's Municipal
Government in Europe, page 456.)
THE MUNICH MARKET.
Munich, Germany, has established
ample cattle markets. (Shaw's Mu-
nicipal Government in Europe, page

Leeds, England, has acquired at diff
fOrent times, all her markets, including
the cattle market, and has expended
vast amounts of money upon them.

'iis'' III ihoF ing lIoH one I0cailty to an
other the absence of State uniformity
rendered their old books worthless and
their parents could not or would not 90
to the expense of buying new ones. The
fact that this expense is now entirely
done away with and the further fact that
books have been greatly reduced in price
will probably result in a large increase
in attendance.
@. What is the reasonable amount of
money saved to the people of the State
each year by the textbook law?
A. At least 100000
Q. What is this estimate based upon?
A. Upon the known cost of books per
pupil under the old system in various
