as many women folks as I'd like. They
seem to be rather shy about weighing

and taking the weight that he sees
recorded on the dial for the weight

it disturbs me nevertheless to see any
of my patrons SO forgetful.

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, but Not a Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remarka-
bic cure Of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use Of the
new discovery, Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh; the heart became affected, caus-
ing palpitation and sieeplessness at
night.
l gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS
an experiment l finally bought q fiftv
cent package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between ten and twelve pounds
In weight Of solid, healthy flesh
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold In drug stores
yet l consider them a most valuable
addition to any physicians line Of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or in
valids or In any condition Of the
stomach with perfect safety being
harmless and containing nothing but
vegetable and fruit essences, pure pep
sin and Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
ton, biliousneSs, constipation and all
arrangements of the stomach, however
slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the Stuart Co., of MARSHALL, Mich.
and sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per package.

starting out on the second round he
won the first two hples by superb
orlVes. The third was halved in 5,

lass in to each, putting the Fairfield
player in the lead again by up.
Inc men played evenly on the sixth
ana seventh holes sboth being halved
IN and respectively. Smith
won the eighth, butdlogt the ninth, still
leaving douglass In the lead, with
up turning lhome Smith drove
ms pail out of bounds, reaching the
green IN 3, but Douglass went down
IN TO o. getting ION uthe green in 2.
Flaylng FOR the eleventh Smith topped
ms drive, but succeeded IN halving the
mole IN ., and thel twelfth was halv-
ed IN .. DouglasseMon the thirteenth
IN to Z. which made him dormie o.
On the next hole both crossed the rail-
road on their second shots, and Smith
won in to 8, making Douglass
dormie 4. Smith then had chance
to tie his opponent If he won the last
four holes, but he was not equal to the
occasion. In playing for the fifteenth
mole Smith had the honor, but sliced
his drive out Of bounds and dropped
one ball This he drove into bunker
and it slid along the fence. On his
third the ball went over the green and
down the slope, which practically set
tied Smiths chances. Douglass got
