"The Republicans of the Ninth dis

Republican for Congress who comes
from the people and is in sympathy
with the people. No half-breeds or
new converts need apply this time"
In truth along in last winter and early
this spring there was hardly an issue of

a good stake while he was at it; for

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, 10 Know What
Appetite and Good Digestion Mean,
Make Test Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience Ct an Indianapolis Gen
tIeman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
| People having it 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 origin TO be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics 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 irre9u-
lar; in others, the kidneys are affected:
in others the bowels are constipated
with headaches; still others are troubled
with loss Of flesh and appetite, with the
accumulation of gas sour risings and
heartburn.
