pursuit He threatened to kill his wife,
who had been removed from home owing
to heart disease, if she would not re-
turn.
He took her away in a buggy, and it
the woman was rescued from the clutches
OF her maniac husband.
Moore went insane over visions of
wealth, and in the past week spent 81, 900,
partly for seeds which he ordered from
Ohio He then advertised for agents and
made preparations to conduct business
on a magnificent scale, telling everybody
that in three weeks he would have money
to burn. MOOre'S mOther-in-laW says
that his father-in-law died in the insane
asylum from sOftening of the BRAIN and
believes that the same disease would soon
end the days of Moore. Moore is pos

of property located in Toledo.
He formerly had to work hard for
living. While the insane man was be-

DIR. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN
MEDICINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Stomach Troubles.

DR. Wurth, in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine said: There is
none which is certain to be so valuable
and far reaching in benefit as Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets. the new stomach
remedy; L say far reaching. because
people little realize how important a
sound stomach and vigorous digestion
IS to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Bright's
disease, diabetes. nervous prostration
liver troubles; why is this so? Simply
because every nerve, muscle and tissue
an our bodies is created and nOurished
from the food we eat. If that food is
by reason of a weak stomach, compelled
to lie for hours, sour, fermenting
mass of half digested food. it pofsons
the blood and nervous system, creates
gas which diStends the stomach and
bowels, causing pressure on the heart
lungs and other organs and seriously
impending their action.
He says further, the point to direct
attention is not the nerves nor heart.
nor lungs nor kidneys, but the stomach
the first cause Of all the mischief
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic
put a remedy which viii digest the food
increase the flow of gastric Juice ali
serb the gases, and Stuart's Dvspep-
STA Tablets will accomplish exactly this
result in any case of stomach trouble
because these tablets are composed of
the digestive acids, aSeptic peDsin
Golden Seal and Bismuth, pleasant to
taste, and not being a patent medicine
can be used by anyone with perfect
safety. I believe Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form of induces
6ion and stomach trouble except can
Ger of stomach.
Full size packages of Stuart's Dvs-
pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at
80 cents. A book on stomach diseases
together with thousands of testimonials
will be sent by addressing Stuart Co.
