MIR. PRESCOTT VERY ILL.
Taken With a Sudden Hemorrhage
While Bicycle Riding.

Mr.. c. ]. Prescott, of Prescott & Co.,
was taken suddenly Saturday afternoon
with hemorrhage of the lungs.
Mr.. Prescott started for his home late
in the afternoon. He pumped up the
tires of his bicycle, and as he was start
ing for home he felt a pain in his chest.
He thought nothing of it until soon af-
forwards he felt his mouth fill with
blood. He reached home and DR.. Pow
ell was summoned. Mr.. Prescott had
two more attacks after reaching home,
and another Sunday. He rested COM
fortably yesterday, with his chest pack
ed with ice. Mr.. Prescott had a severe
attack of grip five years ago, and it is
thought that was what brought on the
present trouble.

WITHIN TWO DAYS
It is Thought in Madrid an Armistice
Will Be Proclaimed.

Madrid, March At is reported here
that an armistice in Cuba may be pro-
claimed within two days. 1t is claimed
that the earlier reports on the situation
are somewhat inaccurate. What really
occurred was substantially as follows:
The pope sent an eloquent telegram
urging the queen to grant an armistice
reported to be going on between the
insurgents and the Cuban authorities
for an early conclusion of a permanent
peace. The pope dwelt on the suffering
on the island of Cuba and urged action
upon humanitarian and non-political
grounds.
1t is claimed by the Spanish authori-
ties that an armistice may yet be ar
dition remaining open to discussion.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY.
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases of Dyspepsia
and Indication.

Dr. Jennson, who has made life study
of stomach troubles, says All forms of in
digestion really amount to the same thing,
that is, failure to completely digest the food
eaten no matter whether the trouble is acid
dyspepsia OF sour stomach, belching of wind
nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and appc-
tite person will not have any of them if
the stomach can be induced by any natural,
harmless way to thoroughly digest what is
eaten, and this can be done by simple
remedy which have tested in hundreds OF
aggravated cases with complete success The
remedy is a combination Of fruit and vege-
table essences, pure aseptic pepsin and
golden seal put up in the form Of pleasant
tasting tablets and sold by druggists under
the name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
One or two of these tablets should be taken
after meals and allowed to dissolve in the
mouth and minglng with the food in the
stomach, dgests it completely before it has
time to ferment, decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand
grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome
foods.
1t is safe to say if this wholesome remedy
was better known by people generally, it
would be national blessing, as we are a
nation of dyspeptics and nine-tenths of all
diseases owe their origin to imperfect diges-
ton and nutrition.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret
patent medicine, but a fifty cent package
will do more real good for a weak stomach
than fifty dollars worth of patent medicines
and person has the satisfaction of knowing
just what he is putting into his stomach,
which he does not know, when widely ad-
vertised patent medicines are nsed.
All druggists sell Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets, full sized packages, 5octs.
