To be Committed to Memory by All
Dyspeptics, Invalids, Consumptives.
What is the first cause of ninetenths Of all dis
ease?
Imperfect digestion Of food
Why does imperfect digestion cause disease Of
other organs?
Because blood, nerves, muscles bone and flesh
are derived from the food we eat and digest II
digestion is perfect the blood Is pure nerves and
muscles strong, flesh firm. II the digestion s poor
the blood is supplied from half dgested, ferment-
ing food, irritating every nerve and organ. The
suit is. sooner later, organic disease, because
every organ being poorly nourished the weakest
gives way first and have liver trouble, kidney
complaints. heart disease or consumption.
Is not dieting the usual and best treatment to
cure indigestion?
No. because the dyspeptic has been starved long
enough; what is needed is abundant nourishment
not the lack Of it. The stomach and blood demand
nutriment not bran crackers.
What is the best method of cure?
Plenty of wholesome food well digested.
But how can weak stomach digest plenty Of
wholesome food'
BY taking with the food after each meal certain
harmless remedies which are known to digest food
and thus nourish the blood and rest the weak
stomach.
What are these harmless remedies?
The most valuable vegetable ferments pure
repsin, Golden Seal and fruit salts. All of these
are now combined in the form of pleasant tasting
tablets scld by druggists under the of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Are these tablets superior to the various liquid
preparations so called dyspepsia cures?
Most decidedly, because all liquid medicines be-
come stale with age and lose whatever good quail
tiles they may have had originally, while the tab
let retains its properties indefinitely. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can be carried in the pocket al
ways at hand ready for when travelling or at
daily occupation. They cost but so cents and
should be kept in every family. They keep the di-
gestion perfect and doctors bills by warding
off disease.
Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets adapted to all
forms of dyspepsia?
Yes, because in all cases the trouble results from
indgested. fermenting food. Stuart's Dyspepsia

gomcry gathered such data as to the
state 81 affairs III the province Of Santi-

contained -,6,3jl inhabitants at the
last census. Since the outbreak Of the
present war no accurancc estimate of
the population has been made Before
the war the city OF Santiago de Cuba
has I6. "a inhabitants. This was re.
duced - about 81, 900 by the departure
OF most Of the able bodied men to take
par, IN the war. This loss of popula-
ton was III spite of the quartering here
OF abou. 5000 laboring people from the
surrounding country. In January there
were 40 deaths III this city. During
the first week N February the mortality
was only one.half of the average of
January. This marked decrease is at.
iributcd 70 the free distribution Of
Guinlne from the United States consu.
late, The destination does not in any
zas. There is, however, considerable
poverty among the people Of the lower
middle class. who are too proud to ask
relief or to let their names be known.
But there is one means of public relief
in operation at present, and this is
known as the Cocina Economico. 1t is
under the management Of German
subject named Michaelson. The Co.
Gina Economlco Is supported by volun-
tary contributions Of the citizens OF
Santiago. The Spanish government
has not aided this charity as yet. but
the autonomist governor has promised
Mr.. Michaclson 81 1900 toward It's main
tenance.

to food, and there does not appear to
be any urgent need Of further assist
