In the hush that followed these dread
full imprecations, bent old man, with
white locks falling upon what were once
broad, sturdy shoulders, tottered to the
front of the platform with a book in
his hands The chairman introduced
him as Judge MANNER. The piping
shrillness Of age was in his voice, but
his polished accentuation instantly re-
vealed the scholarly Frenchman who
had carefully learned English in his
youth. He said:

and raised his right hand. Apparently

The Mayor read slowly and distinctly;
and the old Judge and thousands of
others repeated reverently after him the

NO FAITH CURE.
ABOUT STUART DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS.
They Cure stomach Troubles and Indi-
gestion Anyway, Whether You
Have Faith in Them
or Not.

Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give an appetite, will
not increase your flesh and strengthen
your nerves and heart, but Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets will do these
things, because they are composed of
the clements of digestion, they con-
tain the juices, acids. and peptones
necessary to the digestion and assim-
ilation of all wholesome food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
gest food if placed in . jar or bottle
in water heated to IS degrees. and
they will do it much more effectively
when taken into the stomach after
meals, whether you have faith that
they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves, in the
only way that nature can do it, and
that is plenty of wholesome food well
digested. 1t is not bat we eat, but
what we digest that dbes US good.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by nearly all druggists at 80 cents for
full sized package, or by mail from
the Stuart company, Marshall, Mich.
