A PECULIAR FACT.
thousands OF People Have Dyspepsia in Its
Worst Form and Do Not Know 1t.

worst Form and Do Not Know IL.
weak stomach is the cause Of
about nine-tenths of all diseases, yet
IN most cases the wrong thing is treat
ed and the true cause overlooked.
This is because a weak digestion
produces symptoms resembling nearly
every disease because it weakens and
dlsturbs the action Of every nerve and
organ in the body; poor digestion
causes heart trouble, kidney troubles,
lung weakness and especially nervous
break down or nervous prostratioA,
the nerves cannot stand the wear and
tear unless generously fed by well d.
gested, wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one
need fear the approach of disease.
Mrs. II. NJ. Lee, of Rochester, n. Y,
writes: For the sake Of suffering hui
manity l want to say that from a
child | had a very weak stomach,
threw up my food very often after eat
ing and after a few years nervous
dyspepsia resulted and for more than
twenty years l have suffered inexpres-
sibly.
| tried many physicians and adver-
tised remedies with only temporary
relief for nervous dyspepsia, and not
until | commenced taking Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets last September, SIX
months ago. have / been free from
suffering caused by the condition OF
my nerves and stomach; in short,
chronic nervous dyspepsia.
| have recommended Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets to many of my friends
and now | want in public way TO say
they are the safest, pleasantest ana
believe surest cure for stomach and
nerve troubles. | write my honest
opinion and | will gladly answer any
letter of inquiry at any time and feel
that | am, in my small way, helping
on a good cause.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not a
patent medicine, but they contain only
the fruit salts, digestive acids and
peptones necessary to help the weak
stomach to promptly and thoroughly
digest food.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at so cents for full sized pack
age and anyone suffering from nervous
dyspepsia, sour stomach, headaches
acidity, gases, belching, etc, will IND
them not only a quick relief but a
radical cure.
Send to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich
for little book describing cause and
cure of stomach troubles giving symp-
toms and treatment of the various
forms of indigestion.

AN OFFICIAL BLUNDER.

The official report of the battle OF
Santiago states that the 7Ist New
York regiment weakened under the
awful fire Of the eneny and laid down
while fresh troops walked over them
and pushed to the front.
The New York World has charged
these men with Cowardice.
1t Ill becomes a man sitting III the
security of an editorial sanctunl
thousands of miles from a fight to
charge men with cowardice who have
to face a rain of lead from machine
guns in an intrenched position.
The blunder at San Juan was in the
failure of the generals TO clear the
way for the infantry by a concentrated
fire of artillery.
