MISCELLANEOUS.
cATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, simple, but Safe, Effectual
Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or
bIoatipe sensation after eating. accom-.
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, formation of gases. causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and diff
cult breathing; headache, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
lsnguid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show a Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure for thisscommon and obstinate
trouble is found in treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time TO ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
of the stomach.
To secure prompt and healthy diges-
ton is the one necessary thing to DO,
and when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed OF Dlastase;
Aseptic Pepsin. little Nux, Golden seal
and fruit acids. :,
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of stuart
dyspepsia IdDleb5, duu, uop pOlAE q
patent medicine, can be used with perfect
safety and; assurance that healthy appe-
tite and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn ST..
Chicago, ILL.,, writes: 'Catarrh is local
condition resulting from neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining MEM
brane of the nose becomes inf1amed and
the poisonous discharge therefrom, pas
sing backward into the throat, reaches
the stomach, thus producing catarrh OF
the stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me for three years for catarrh
of stomach without cure but today am
the happiest of men after using only one
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. can
not find appropriate words to express my
good feeling.
!. al have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest
preparation as we'll as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form Of
Indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious
ness. sour stomach, heartburn and bloat-
ing after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be

In commencing these distinguished

Minister to Hawaii, caused the flag to be

the works of good man live after him,
for to his executive ability and foresight
we owe much of the enthusiasm that
