A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev. f. I. Bell. highly esteemed
minister residing In WeedspOrt. Cayaga
Co. n. Y, In a recent letter writes as
follows. There has never been anything
that I have taken that has relieved the
Dyspepsia from which 1 have suffered
FOR ten years except the new remedy
called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since
taking them ! have had no distress at
all after eating and again after long
years can sleep well. Rev. +. !. Bell,
Weedsport. y. Y. formerly. HaHa, Colo
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets Is a re-
maTkable remedy not only because IL IS
a certain cure for all forms or !nd!ges-
ton but because Il seems TO act as thor
oughly IN old chronic cases OF dyspepsia
as well as IN mild attacks OF indlges-
ton OF biliousness. A person has dys-
pepsia simply because the stomach IS
overworked. all II wants is a harmless,
vegetable remedy 20 digest the food and
thus give 81 the much needed rest.
This is tie secret Of the success Of this
PECULIAR remedy No matter how weak
or how much dsordered the digestion
may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest the food whether the stomach
works or not. New life and energy IS
given not only 20 the stomach but 10
every organ and nerve in the body. 4
trial Of this splendid medicine will con-
vince the most skeptical that Dyspepsia
and stomach troubles can be cured The
tablets are prepared by the r. A. Stuart
Co. OF Marshall Mich. but so popular
has the remedy become that stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets can now be obtained
at any drug store at 70 cents per pack

ment will pay Spain IN consideration OF

island OF LuzOn. The amount or Jhis
cash payment IS not known. but there 8

mately 100000
NOT A DEMAND.
The first proposition here from tho
United states Commission to the Span
iards regarding the Philippine Islands
was not a demand. To bring the sub
iect under discussion, the Americans
merely submitted a. proposition 70 take
over the Philippine Islands and re-
there on permanent betterments Spain
declined the terms and the proposal it.
SELF Had she stopped there the United
states would have been compelled To re-
neat the proposal as an ultmatum on TO
tender new terms. Spain, however, put
OF any consideration Of terms by declar-
inc that the United States had no right
10 impugn her sovereignty in the Philip
pines: that If her sovereignty there
should pass. the mortgages she had placed
on the Philippine revenue must be under
written and that her dignity forbade her
10 heed any questions as to how she had
spent the loans 40 secured.
A BROAD PRINCIPLE.
The Americans patiently replied that
the Peace Conference was charged with
tho disposition OF the Philippines, and
the sovereignty there They laid down
the broad principle that the expenses IN
CURED I'm a futile attempt at suhjugation
shall not be loaded upon the colony
seeking freedom Finally they affirmed
their right 20 inquire as 10 the destination
of moneys raised by pledging the Philip
pine revenue. All this postponed a dis
cusson OF tho main question but In their
next memorandum the Americans will
go 20 the vita. point.
Definite notice will he given that the
United States will take over all the
Philippine Islands. and Spain will I'M
guestionabiy learn tho terms from which
there will be no deviation.
II IS more than likely that the Ameri-
cans viii fatty summon Spain 70 effect
Immediately amicable adjustment.
Should she refuse 20 make a treaty
ceding the Philippines 10 tho United
States. the instant alternative for Anne
RIGA viii be- The conquest Of that territory

settlement and possibly with loss Of life.

Constant coughing is Ike
