that their task Is increased by Garcia's death.
Whether the Commission in Washington is sue

to pay the insurgent troops. Garcia was the
leader to whom all were looking for guidance.
He had shown unexpected strength In controll-'

Of the Commission TO visit Washington. He had

A POPULAR MISTAKE
REGARDING REMEDIES FOR DYSPEPSIA AND IN
DIGESTION.

The national disease Of Americans is in
digestion or In its chronic form dys persia, and
for the very reason that IL IS common many
people neglect taking proper treatment for
what they consider trifing stomach trouble.
when as matter Of fact, indigestion lays the
foundation for many inCurable diseases. No
person with a vigorous, healthy stomach will
fan victim 10 consumption. Many kidney
ming from poor digestion: thin. nervous peO-
ole are really 50 because their stonlachs are
out Of gear: weary. languid. faded out women
owe their condition 10 imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion il Is not sur
pr!sng that nearly every secret patent meul-
cine on the market claims TO be cure for
dyspepsia. 8 well as a score or other troubles
when in fact as Or. Werthier says. there rs
but one genuine dyspepsia cure which Is
nerrectly safe ard reliable. and moreover TINS
remedy ia not a patent medicine. but II Is a
scientific combination Of pure pepsin tfree from
animal matter) vegetable essences fruit salts
and bismuth II is sold by druggists under
