A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New DiscOv-
cry for Curing Dyspepsia


The Rev. F. l. Bell, a highly esteem
ed minister residing in Weedsport, Ca
yUga Co, n. Y, in a recent letter
writes as follows: There has never
been anything that l have taken that
has relieved the Dyspepsia from which
1 have suffered for ten years except
the new remedy called Stuart's Dys-
persia Tablets. Since taking them I
have had no distress at all after eat
ing and again after long years CAN
SLEEP WELL. Rev. F. l. Bell, Weeds
port, N Y. formerly, Idaiia, Colo"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
niarkable remedy, not only because 1t
is a certain cure for all forms of in
digestion, but because it seems to act
as thoroughly in old chronic cases Of
dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks
of Indigestion or biliousness. A per-
son has dyspepsia simply because the
stomach is oVerworked. all it wants
is a harmless, vegetable remedy to
digest the food and thus give it the
much needed rest.
This Is the secret Of the success Of
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the df
geetion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not New life
and energy is given not only to the
ste mach but to every organ and nerve
in the body. 4 trial Of this splendid
medicine will convince the most skep-
tical that Dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. The tablets
are prepared by the f. A. Stuart Co.,
OF Marshall, Mich, but so popular has
the remedy become that Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets can now be obtained
at any drug store at so cents per pack

GOLD.
Gold is found at vast number of
localities in the archipelago, from
northern Luzon to central Mindanao
In most cases the gold is detrital, and
is found either in existing water
courses or in stream deposits now de-
serted by the current These last are
called ''aluviones" by the Spaniards
1t is said that in Mindanao some of
the gravels are in an elevated position
and adapted to hydraulic mining.
There are no data at hand which indi-
cate decisively the value of any of the
placers. They are washed by natives
largely with cocoanut shells for pans
though the batea Is also in use.
