Hood's PILE cure sick headache. rs cents
st. Paul. MINI. Feb. oath. 1898

Our little boy was afflicted with hip dis
ease, or bone ulcer, when he was about
three years old. He suffered severely for
year and nine months. We had seven
different doctors for him, but they could
not cure him. They took out one piece Of
bone about 81 inches long, the shape of a
shoe, and one smaller piece The hole in
his hip was about 81 inches deep, and the
sore kept running all the time. The doc
tors ordered us to keep the hole filed with
cotton, saturated with some kind of medi-
cine. This we did, and used probe to in
sert the cotton. We could introduce the
probe about 81 inches; and found by NOV
ing the probe about that there was large
cavity next to the bone, and we could feel
the bone with the probe. The child was
very pale, thin and weak and could not
sleep, and we had no hope of his recovery.
The treatment we gave him under the doc
tors directions did him no good. We final
ly commenced using Aliens Ulcerine Salve
and it soundly and permanently cured him
in about six months. He has been well
about four years and is strong and quite
fleshy, but limps little on account of one
leg being little shorter than the other.
He is a picture of health, and runs, scufiles
and plays with other boys as though moth
ing had been the matter with him. We be-
lieve Ulcerine Salve saved his life.

Indian WigxVnm.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please tell me what your idea IS OF an
Indian wigwam-that is, how is 1t made?
Keysville, Va. X. u. +.
An Indian wlgwam may be made Of
bark, reeds, sod. or any other available
material, but the most perfect is the
te-pee of the Sacotahs Take fourteen
straight poles, about twenty feet long.
and arrange them sugar-loaf shape. cross
ing each other about three feet from the
top. Then, IN place Of covering OF
buffalo skins, use stout canvas, fitted
snuely to the frame. and going within a
foot Of where the poles cross. Let the en-
t-auce be small, about two feet wide by
three feet high. Make your fire In the
centre, and II your canvas fits tightly
and without a wrinkle, the smoke will
draw direct to the opening at the apex,
while the crossed poles will exclude the
rain. Put a good deal Of dry litter on
the floor before spreading your blankets
and always keep the skirts Of the lodge
turned up in bright weather. A lodge OF
this sort will accommodate eight or ten
men. sleeping with their feet to the
centre. 1t is perfectly portable, and may
be changed into a one-horse vehicle by
using the poles as shafts, letting the ends
trail on the ground. and flashing your
wicker door crosswise, so as TO give shape
and strength TO the sled-like structure.

Life Estate.
To the Editor of the Dispatch

To the Editor or the Dispatch:
VIII you please inform me through the
Query column, If property is inherited or
comes TO the husband and he makes a
conveyance thereof by deed TO his wife
and children, and his wife dies, can he
hold his life interest in the property?
IL one Of his children dies under age, can
the father inherit the child's interest i'm
the said property to do with as he
chooses? n. d.
New Canton Post-Omce Buckingham
county. Va.
You state your case so obscurely and
so briefly that positive answer is hardly
possible. We are Of opinion that II the
husband conveyed his property jointly to
his wife and children, and after the con-
veyance the wife died. he is entitled to no
life estate therein. Certainly, if he had
conveyed his property to the wife alone
and she had afterwards died, he would
not be entitled TO curtesy therein. See
&c Graf, 354; 20 Graft, 1871.
Now, as to the fathers inheriting his
childs portion Of said property: If the
child died unmarried, he takes the child's
portion by the statute Of descents.
Questions Of this character depend
much upon a careful inspection of the
deeds OF conveyance, and no accurate
answer can be made to them without an
examination OF the records.

1 POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and INDIGESTION.

The national disease of Americans is
indigestion, or in it's chronic form, dys-
pepsla, and for the very reason that IL
is so common many people neglect taxing
proper treatment for what they consider
trifing stomach trouble, when, as mat
ter OF fact, indigestion lays the founda-
ton for many incurable diseases. No per-
son with vigorous, healthy stomach VIII
fall victim to consumption. Many KID
ney diseases and heart troubles date their
beginning from poor digestion; thin, ner-
yous people are really so because their
stomachs are out of gear; weary, languid'
faded out women owe their conoluoh u
imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet Is
afflicted with weak digestion 1t Is not
surprising that nearly every secret pa
tent medicine on the market claims 10
be a cure for dyspepsia, as well as a
score Of other troubles, when In fact, az
DR.. Werthier says, there is but one genu-
inc dyspepsia cure which Is perfectly sale
and reliable and moreover, this remedy Is
not a patent medicine, but ii Is a scien-
tihc combination Of pure pepsin Gree from
animal matter), vegetable essences, lrult
salts, and bismuth. 1t is sold by drug
gists under the name OF Stuarts Dyspep-
STA Tablets. No extravagant claims are
made for them, but for indigestion or any
stomach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are far ahead of any remedy
yet discovered. They act on the 1000
eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply
eat all the wholesome food you want, and
these tablets will digest 1t. cure re-
suits, because all the stomach needs IS a
rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Taplets
give by doing the work of digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at 90 cents
per package. Little book on stomach
