TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make a Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of An In
dianapOlis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or nor
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat of the mis-
chief is lost sight of; the stomach is the
organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart %palpitates and is irregu-
lar; in others the kidneys are affected;
in others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are troubled
with loss of flesh and appetite, with
accumulation of gas. sour risings and
heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
ST., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"a motive of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. / have been a sufferer
from nervous dyspepsia for the last four
years: have used various patent mcdi-
cines and other remedies without any
favorable result. They sometimes gave
temporary relief until the effects of the
medicine wore off. l attributed this to
my ~sedentary habits, being a b%ookkeeper
with little physical exercise, but | am
glad to state that the tablets have over
come all these obstacles, for l have
gained in flesh, sleep better and am bet
ter in every way. The above is written
not for notoriety, but is based On actual
fact" Respectfully yours,
A. W. Sharper,
IL Prospect ST., Indianapolis, Ind.
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness
or disease except cancer of stomach.
They cure SOU stomach, gas, loss of
flesh and appetite, sleeplessness, palpita-
ton, heartburn, constipation and head
ache.

FLOW IN THE RIO GRANDE IN 1914.
Ex-Governor Prince Shows That the Water
in the Rio Grande Three and One-Half
Centuries Ago Played the Same
Tricks As These Days.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Jan. Is, 1s9s.-Some-
times ancient history" has a practical
modern application, and have been a
good deal surprised that some of the
astute lawyers connected with litigation
as to dams or water-rights, which in
volve the natural flow of the Rio Grande,
have not used the situation three and
a half centuries ago in their arguments.
At that time only the water necessary
for irrigation at the pueblo towns,
stretching from the Espanola valley to
the vicinity of Socorro, was being arti-
ficially taken from the river. Yet when
Don Tristan de Arellano sent an expedi-
ton to explore the Rio Grande to the
southwest of Tihuex (near Bernalillo) in
1541, it proceeded eighty leagues until
it was found that the water sank into the
earth like the Guadiana in Estemadura.' :
As we would say, the river event dry
at that point. Eighty of these leagues
are about 208 of our miles, which In a
straight line would take one to Las Cru
ces; but IS they followed the windings
Of the river, it is probable that the point
reached was near San Antonio, as they
reported finding four large villages,
which must have been there. This was
in the latter part Of July, so that we
find the condition in that remote time to
have been not very different from that
which sometimes prevails in IL day.
