PECULIAR POISONS
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal,
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death tcalled by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of i'm
perfect digestion of food; the result of
Indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness.
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (the first process
OF decay poisoning the blood, making it
thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles
poisoning the brain causing headaches
and pain in the eyes.
Bad indigestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation end finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is 50 because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
week digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di
gest food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids QactiC
and hydrochloric) and peptogonic pro
ducts; the most sensible remedy in al
cases of indigestion is to take after eact
meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsi,
Tablets, because they supply in
pleasant, harmless form all the element

to their relatives for burial at home, the
only question arising as to whether the
remains of those dying of the smallpox
can safely be brought home. The
others will certainly be brought to this
country. Adjutant-General Cor bin told
Senators Simon and Mcbride that he
would be glad to do all he could in this
matter, but probably nothing can be
done until in the winter, when the
weather will be colder and the transfer
made under better circumstances.

Cattle have been starving in many Sec

ECHOES OF THE WAR.

Lamar Fontane, the famous Con-
federate scout, has been at the Chick
amauga camp for several days. The
name of Fontaine was once on the lips
OF every Federal soldier. His exploits
and deeds of bravery were discussed
around the camp fires. Every day he
would pick off Federal soldiers in eX-
posed parts. In one campaign he is
said to have killed, and probably cor
rectly, more than sixty men with
single rifle. When he took aim 1t was
with deadly effect. He never missed
mark. During the war this brave man
was literally shot to pieces. He was
hit badly sixty-seven times. He is now
walking on wooden legs cut and whit
tied by himself from the battlefield of
Manassas. He was captured by the
Union army once, but after talking to
the commanding general was told, af-
ter sentence of death had been passed
upon him, that he was too brave man
to die and he was exchanged. He is
hunting for the man for whom he was
exchanged. That man is said to be a
brigddier in the volunteer service.
John Farnham, Of Wilkes-B Barre, who
mas returned from ChlCkamauEa,
where he visited his brother. Hamilton,
who has recovered from typhoid fever,
stated that he himself was under the
weather for some time and spent the
time at Lookout Inn. Mr.. Farnham
says that while the food in camp Is
plain yet there is an abundance of it.,
and it is wholesome. The heat in the
hospitals is sometimes unbearable, but
then the walls of the tent are raised,
permitting a breeze to pass through
The patients suffer from the flies that
will gather in spite of all efforts to
keep them away. The men are sick
generally for only few days at time
and then get out again. Sometimes
they go back, being unable from weak
ness to stand the heat and the burden
of drill exercise.

there an army of them today? Why are

at an increase ranging between maxi
