INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia aud Stomach
Trouble.
INSTANTLY RELIEVED AND PERMA.
NENTLY CURED.
A New Discovery, but Not n Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the
new discovery, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's.
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffeed to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains
like rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss Of
flesh; the heart became affected, caus-
ing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night.
l gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies. but to no purpose. AS
an experiment ] finally bought a fifty
cent package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured
There was no more acidity or sour
| watery risings. no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and IL pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh,
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores,
yet I consider them a most valuable
| addition to any physicians line of
| remedies, as they are perfectly harm
| less and can be given to children or in
valds or in any condition of the stom-
ach with perfect safety, being harm
| less and containing nothing but vege-
| table and fruit essences, pure pepsin
and Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
| safest, most effective cure for indiges-
tion, billousness, constipation and all
| arrangements of the stomach however
| slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
| by druggists everywhere at fifty cents
| for full sized package.

PRICEBURG.

Thursday morning people were awak-
ened from their sleep by the cries of
a man running along the street crying
Fire! fire!" and the blowing of the
gongs at Johnsons No. and two other
collieries. Upon investigation it was
found to be the new weigh shanty,
which was just erected when the john
son No. / and two breakers were erect
ed. At first it was thought that the
breaker would be idle, but 1t worked
today the same as usual. The Eagle
Hose company responded to the call,
but as there were no water plugs in
that part of the borough they could
give no assistance.
William Stevens was hurt by being
shot in Storrs' mine yesterday.

WATKIN WATKINS.
The First Child Born at Welsh Settle
ment Thought to BE Dying.

Many friends and acquaintances in
this city will be sorry to learn that
Watkin Watkins, of the Welsh Set
tlement, has been stricken with par
tial paralysis, and 1t is feared that his
death is not far off. Mr.. Watkins has
the distinction of being the first child
born in the settlement. He is 65 years
of age. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Watkins came to this place
when it was a hamlet in 1882 and the
father was one of the first men to
delve for dusky diamonds where the
Wurts brothers began the mining of
anthracite coal. He continued at the
work for a very short time, however,
before locating with many others at
the Welsh settlement.

Manufacturing Dialect.

They thought to play joke upon the
fair typewriter maid,
And changed the letters all about upon
the little keys;
The A was pasted on where erst the X
had been displayed
And they sadly jumbled up the Fs,
the BIS and C's and DIS!
But she calmly went to humping, all
unwitting of the trick.
The result was not just what they'd
led each other to expect,
For when they gathered round her as she
gave the final click,
1t was found she'd writ story in the
choicest dialect.
