A Hundred Reasons

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
cure for every form of indigestion.
They are in tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities indefinitely
while LIQUID preparations become stale
and useless with age.
They are convenient, can be carried
in the pocket and taken when needed.
They are pleasant to the taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two
of them in the mouth and, mingling
with the food, they constitute a perfect
digestive, absolutely safe for the most
sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it has
time to ferment, thus preventing the
formation of gas and keeping the blood
pure and free from the poisonous pro-
ducts of fermented, half digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.
They increase flesh by digesting
fiesh-forming foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
only remedy designed especially for the
cure of stomach troubles and nothing
else.
One disease, one remedy, the success
full physician of to-day is the specialist
the successful medicine is the medicine
prepared especially for one disease.
A whole package taken atone time
would not hurt you, but would simply
be a waste of good material.
Over six thousand men and womer
in the State of Michigan alone have
been cured of indigestion and dyspepsia
by the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.

PRIMITIVE METHODS.
Monograph Now Holds Sway in
State Offices.

The certificates of Incorporation here
tofore issued by the Secretary of Stale
to parties embarking in business ven
lures under the laws of the State were
of a kind that caught the eye. They
were superbly lettered and engrossed,
and of size to look well when framed,
and that course was often taken by in
corporations.
But, alas and alack! The strong,
crisp parchments will no longer be sent
out, with the big seal Of the State at
tached. The supply is exhausted, and
the State Printing Office has been shut
down for over a year. A mimeograph
will be set at work in the office of the
Secretary of State, and on and after
tomorrow all certificates of incorpOra-
ton will be printed in typewriting ma
chine characters on unruled legal-cap
paper, and the great gold seal stuck on
in the southwest corner.
During the past two years certificates
Of incorporation have been issued at the
rate of 120 a month, or LAO a year.
At a uniform cost of So per certificate,
5000 a month, or 1920 a year, has
been realized.
The funds thus accumulated go into
the State Library fund.- and many Off
Gals and employees about the Capitol
building are wondering what means
will be taken to replete it, provided the
new certificates are not acceptable to
incorporators.
For the past year Secretary Of State
Brown has been issuing certificates on
blanks printed and ordered by him be-
fore the Governor, by vetoing State
Printing Office appropriation, caused
the closing down of that institution.
All that is changed now. The supply
is exhausted, and incorporators will in
the future be served with certificates a
