A Hundred Reasona

Can be given why Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
cure for every form of indigestion.
They are in tablet form. which retain
their good qualities indefinitely, while
liouid preparations become stale and use
less with age.
They are convenient. can be carried in
the pocket and taken when needed. They
are pleasant to the taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two Of
them i'm the mouth. and mingling with
the food they constitute a perfect digest
i've, absolutely safe for the most sensitive
stomach.
They digest the food before Il has time
TO ferment, thus preventing the forma-
tion of gas and keeping the blood pure
and free from the poisonous products of
fermented. half digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure
of stomach troubles and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy, the successful
physician of today is the specialist, the
successful medicine is the medicine pre-
pared especially for one disease
A whole package taken at one time
would not hurt you, but would simply be
a waste of good material
Over six thousand men and women I'm
the State of Michigan alone have been
cured of indigestion and dyspepsia by the
use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
Sold by all druggists at 50 cents per
package. ..-.a.

PLENTY OF GOOD MEN.

Already il has been found necessary TO
amend the recent act of Congress 20
provide for temporarily increasing the
military establishment of the United
States in time of war" commonly known
as the volunteer" act
Even before the volunteer forces are
organized ii has been discovered that
the law tied the Government too closely
TO the militia organizations of the coun-
try. When the bill was before the House.
men holding commissions in the militia
organizations of the different States
were about the House in numbers insist
ing that the provisions should be restrict
ted TO the militia. They procured the
defeat of the Senate amendment author
izing the federal authorities to accept
troops possessing special qualifications
ana substituted for it a measure limit
Ing volunteers outside the militia to an
aggregate of three thousand.
1t has been discovered in the practical
experience Of organizing the volunteers.
that there are very many men outside
the militia well qualified to serve the
Government in time Of war.
In pursuance of a communication ad-
dressed to the House and Senate by the
War Department, a bill has been favor
ably reported from the House Military
Committee, amending the new law so as
TO authorize the enlistment of com
panies, troops. battalions, or regiments
possessing special qualifications, from the
nation at large, not to exceed sixteen
thousand men"
Under the authority contained in this
amendment, an engineer corps and a
corps OF electricians, besides the pro-
posed yellow fever "impunes," will be
enlisted.
The Senate passed the bill yesterday
and il is understood that it will be call
ed up i'm the House today.
