mediately discovered the imposture, when
with a quick movement of the arm, he
threw the shoulder out of place and pro-

The young sprig, with loud lamentation,
besought the bonesetter to return and re-
place the limb, which, after administering
TO the fellow much wholesome advice was
accomplished. giving him lesson he did
not soon forget.
On another occasion DR.. Sweets wonderful
skill was called into use by poor fellow a

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.

Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.
The national disease of Americans is
indigestion or in in it's chronic form,
dyspepsia, and for the very reason that
it is so common many people neglect
taking proper treatment for what they
consider trifling stomach trouble, when
as a matter of fact, indigestion lays
the foundation for many incurable dis
eases No person with a vigorous,
healthy stomach will fall a victim to
consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion; thin, nervous peo-
pie are really so because their stomachs
are out of gear; weary, languid, faded
out women owe their condition to i'm
perfect digestion
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion it is
not surprising that nearly every secret
patent medicine on the market claims
to be cure for dyspepsia, as we'll as a
score of other troubles, when in fact
as DR.. Werthier says, there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable, and moreover
this remedy is not a patent medicine
pepsin Gree from animal matter), veg
etable essences, fruit salts and bismuth
1t is sold by druggists under the name
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. No ex-
travagant claims are made for them,
but for indigestion or any stomach
trouble, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
far ahead of any remedy yet discovered
They act on the food eaten, no dieting
is necessary, simply eat all the whole
some food you want and these tablets
will digest it. A cure results, because
all the stomach needs is a rest, which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by do
ing the work of digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at 80
cents per package. Little book on
