retard its spread, though 1t will probably
develop the disease in the cases already
infected. All mails from Jackson are flu
migated. Bishop Charles Galloway, Sccre-
tary Of State Power and Colonel j. u.
Stewart, a cltszen's committee appointed by
Mayor Wharton, have issued an appeal to
the country at large for contributions for
relief for the destitute among the negroes

HEALTH CATECHISM.
Dyspeptics, Invalids, Consumptives. To Be Committed to Memory by All

What is the first cause of nine tenths of all disease? v Imperfect digestion of food. l Why does imperfect digestion cause | disease of other organs? 1 Because blood, nerves, muscles, bone and flesh are derived from the food we eat and digest. If digestion is per feet the blood is pure, nerves and muscles strong, flesh firm. If the di- | gestion is poor, the blood is supplied | from half-digested, fermenting food, irritating every nerve and organ. The result is, sooner or later, organic dis ease, because every organ being poorly nourished the weakest gives way first and we have liver trouble, kidney complaints, heart. disease or con sumption.
 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 de- mand nutriment, not bran crackers.
 What is the best method of cure?
 Plenty of wholesome food well di- gested.
 
 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 are vegetable ferments pure pepsin, Golden Seal 1fc Of oY>N combined in the form of pleasant tast- ing tablets, sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Are these tablets superior to the various liquid preparations so called dyspepsia cures?
 Most decidedly, because all liquid medicines become stale with age and lose whatever good qualities they may have had originally, while the tablet retains it's properties indefinitely. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be car ried in the pocket, always at hand ready for use when traveling or at daily occupation. They cost but 50 cents and should be kept in every fam fly. They keep the digestion perfect and save 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 undigested, fermenting food. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cause the food to be digested before it has time to ferment.
 If you wish to know more about them ask your druggist for a package and try them.
