INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
OF an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of Dys
pepsia After Suffering for Twenty
Five Years.

Mrs Sarah A. Skeels. an estimable lady
residing at Lynnville, Jasper county, Iowa,
was for twenty-five years a sufferer from
Dyspepsia, and her complete restoration
to health is so remarkable that we present
the facts in the case for the benefit of our
readers, many of whom have doubtless
suffered in the same manner and will,
therefore, be interested in learning how
all stomach troubles may be avoided and
cured. Mrs. Skeels says: / used only one
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
1 received such great and unexpected bene-
fit that wish to express my sincere graft
tude. In fact ithas been six months since
I took the medicine and I have not had
one particle of distress or difficulty SINCE
And all this in the face of the fact that
the best doctors I consulted told me my
case was incurable as I had suffered for
twenty-five years. I want half a dozen
packages to distribute among my friends
here who are very anxious to try this
remedy. Truly ours,
MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS.
The reason why Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's are so successful in curing indigestion
and stomach trouble and the reason why 1t
never disappoints those who need 1t and
use it is because nothing is claimed for it
except what 1t will actually perform. 1t
is not a cure-all and no such claims are
made for it. 1t is prepared for the sole
purpose of curing Dyspepsia and the va
rious forms of Indigestion
There is scarcely patent medicine made
but what is claimed to cure dyspepsia as
well as a hundred other troubles When as
a matter of fact remedy to cure Dyspep-
STA must be prepared especially for that
and nothing else; and among all the rene
dies, patent nostrums, btters, etc., so ex-
tensively advertised you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only one
advertised as cure for dyspepsia and
nothing else. The remedy is prepared by
the Stuart Company of Marshall, Mich,
and for sale by all druggists at so cents
per package, and If you. suffer from any
form of stomach arrangement or indiges-
ton trial will not disappoint you.

RegimentaI CoIors for
The Birmingham Tr0oEs

A movement is on foot among the good
women of Birmingham-young and other
wisezto provide the Third regiment with
their necessary co1ors before they go to the
front. The men of the city will lend their
assistance, of course, and The Age-Herald
is deeply interested in making grand sue
cess of the undertaking. In very few
DAYS the brave Third regiment will receive
marching orders, and it will never do for
such a gallant body of Alabamians to go
forth to meet the enemy without the es-
sental regimental colors.
Flags they must have, these boys of the
Third, and every woman every girl in Bir-
mingham, who feels any interest in the
welfare of the Alabama national guard is
earnestly invited to meet this, Friday
morning at IL O'clock at the Commercial
club rooms, to take some immediate ae-
ton towards securing these flags All per-
sons outside of Birmingham embraced in
the district to which the Third regiment be-
longs are requested to send small contrl-
buttons 10 aid in this matter, to The Age
Herald. The meeting this morning IS IN
tended in order 10 devise methods for the
making of the flags and not for the pur-
pose of raising funds-the necessary money
for the purchase of materials will be raised
by popular subscriptions among the eltizehs
and not by the women.

THE COMING OF THE KING.

q. ID. .. d.
"My King shall come" as child sald'
..On a steed of dappled grey;
And his plume shall cen to his saddle
sweep,
And his doublet shall color of Tyrian keep,
And he never shall ride away"
But childhood and girlhood met and were
wed
And: ''I'll have no laggard for King"
said,
For he came not night or day.
"My King shall come" as maid l said,
I'm lordly manful guise;
So straight and tall shall his manhood seem
That all shall read life's earnest dream
In the wondrous light of his eyes,"
But girlhood and womanhood closer drew,
And looked in each others eyes and knew
The sweet dream hardest dies.
..My King shall comer-But a woman
grave
Has little to do with dreams.
And a King that was laggard to child or
maid,
Will sure not hasten when Times dusk
shade
Has fallen DER youths fair CLEANS
But one sweet day near the summers end,
looked In the eyes of an old-time friend
And found the King of my dreams.
