A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is in
digestion. or in its chronic FORM dys-
pepsia. and for the very reason that it
is so common many people neglect taking
proper treatment for what they consider
trihing stomach trouble, when as mat
ter of fact. indigestion lays the founda-
-tion for many incurable diseases, NO per-
son with o vigorous, healthy stomach, will
fail a victim to consumption. Many kid
ney diseases and heart troubles date their
beginning from poor digestion; thin
nervous people are really so because their
stomachs are out of gear weary, languid,
faded out women owe their condition to
imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion it is not
surprising that nearly every secret pat
ent medicine on the market claims to be
a cure for dyspepsia as well as a score OF
other troubles when, in fact, as DR.. Wer-
thier says there is but one genuine dys-
pepsa cure which is perfectly safe and
reliable and moreover, this remedy is not
a patent medicine. but it is a scientific.
combination of pure pepsin Gree from
animal natter, vegetable essences, fruit
salts and bismuth. 1t is sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. No extravagant claims are
made for them, but for indigestion or any
stomach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are far ahead of any remedy yet dis
covered. They act on the food eaten, no
dieting is necessary simply eat all the
wholesome food you want and these tab
let's will digest it. A cure results because
all the stomach needs is a rest, which
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets give by do
ing the work of digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at 50 cents
per package. Circulars and testimonials

Athol, Dec 13.-The annual meeting
of the Worcester Northwest Agricul-
tural Society held at the towr hail.

vice. The resolutions We're unanimous
~ adopted, and it was voted to spread

West Brookfield, Dec. 13.-Last eve
ming about o'clock, while the storm
was at its height, Mr.. Dwight Fair
banks was driving to his home, on
Main street when he saw dark OBJ
ject by the roadside, which proved to
be the body Of a man. He was, with
great difficulty, aroused from his stu
por, and, help arriving, he was taken
to the hotel and DR.. C. A. Blake was
summoned to attend him. BY the ap-
plication of hot water bottles and hot
bricks and medicine, he was revived
sufficiently to take some hot nourish-
ment and put to bed. This morning he
arose and partook of hot breakfast,
and with the assistance given to him
was able to proceed to Springfield.
1t appears that he is a morocco fin
Usher, named Charles Roselle, and be
longs in Wilmington. Del; but, business
being poor in that city, he went to Sa-
lem and vicinity to obtain work. but
could not find any and started on his
return to Wilmington Yesterday his
money gave out and he attempted to
walk the remaining distance. While in
East Brookfield he had an attack of
asthma which attracted the attention
of a doctor who passed him, who most
kindly took him to his office and gave
him some medicine and some money
to pay his car fare. He got off the car
at West Brookfield and had a more seri-
Gus attack, with the result that if not
discovered just as he was, he would
probably have persisted in the storm.

drowned while fishing in Lake Single

his friend, Antony Cane of New YORK,
over the weary trail to the lake.
After arriving there the pair select
ed the most favored spot in the dis
trict, and cut 70 holes in the ice. When
the tilts were set up, Anderson saw the

the trap, when suddenly the ice crack
ed into several hundred pieces, ana the
fisherman found himself bathing IN the
Xmas waters of the beautiful lake
He called at the top of his voice to
his friend at the opposite side, but IN
vain. as the winds muffied the sound
of his voice In few moments cane
missed Anderson, and knowing that ne
had no occasion to leave the pond, De
came alarmed, and started TO make a
search.
At the lower end of the lake he saw
a dark spot and later found Anderson
nearly exhausted clinging to the ice,
and gasping for breath. Dane took
off his overcoat and managed to make
his friend cling to it until he was on
safe ice
He was carried to the shore, where a
large fire was built and mis- clothes
dried Later he was taken to the cleo
trio car and sent home. The conductor
of the car did all in his power to aid
| the sufferer by turning on the heat
and putting a cushion over him.

| the Millbury Razor Company today
and Ferd Upham was badly injured.
The stone at the time it burst was
