GET FLESH.
Get Strength. viS"- Clear compiSvlon
and Good Digestion. Not by Patent
Medicine. but in Natures
Own Way.


ANY honest physician will tell you that
there Is but one way 10 get increased
flesh; all the patent medicines and cod
liver oils TO the contrary notwithstand-
Ing.
Nature has but one way 20 increase

and that Is through the stomach. by
wholesome food. well digested. There ls
no reason or common sense in any other
method whatever
People are thin. run down. nervous.
male and shaky in their nerves simply
because their stomaehs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspep-
sla. but the fact remains that they do not
eat enough food. or what they eat is not
quickly and properly dlgested. as It
should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones. and deficient secre-
ton OF gastric Juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is 10
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which will dc this. but none SO readily as
stuRrts Dyspepsia Tablets. which are de-
signed especially for all stomach troubles
and which cure all digestive weakness on
the common sense plan OF furnishing
The digestive principles which the stom-
ach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect Is to increase the
appetite and increased vigor. added flesh,

Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form Of
stomach trouble except cancer of the

engagements can be completed.
The Madrid dispatch published. this
morning, which seemed to Indicate that
the Havana authorities are disposed
to regard the newspaper prisoners as
spies, possibly may interfere with the

engagements for which We're made by
the Uncas expedition.

lilStiI anu lte praise OF tnelf country
men for the destruction of the Span
ish fleet at Manila on May l.
The officers of the navy department
have discovered that section 1885 of the
Revised Statutes authorizes the pay
ment of a bounty of $1G0 for each man
on an enemy's ship of war that is |
destroyed in action.
The reports from Manila are that the |
Spanish fleet was double manned, in |

American fleet and requiring prize

IN This case it is likely that there
We're no less than 1000 men in the fleet.
Which would mean an aggregate pre-
MUM Of 100000 to be divided among
american sailors.
The naval officers are taking steps to
scertain the exact number of Span

'asis for the payment to be made.
