HEALTH CATECHISM.
To Be Committed to Memory by All ? Dyspeptics. Invalids, Consumptives.

What is the first cause of nine- tenths of all disease?
 Imperfect digestion of food.
 Why does imperfect digestion cause disease of other organs?
 Because blood, nerves, muscles, bone and flesh are derived from the food we eat and digest. If digestion is per- feet the blood is pure, nerves and muscles strong, flesh firm. If the di- gSstiOn is poor, the blood is supplied from half-digested, fermenting food, irritating every nerve and organ. The result is, sooner or later, organic dis ease, because every organ being poorly nourished the weakest gives way first and we have liver trouble, kidney complaints, heart disease or con- sumption.
 Is not dieting the usual and Test treatment to cure indigestion?
 No, because the dyspeptic has b2en starved long enough; what is needed is abundant nourishment, not the lack of it. The stomach and blood de- mand nutriment, not bran crackers.
 What is the best method of cure?
 Plenty of wholesome food well di- gested.
 But how can weak stomach digest plenty of wholesome food?
 By taking with the food after each meal certain harmless remedies which are known to digest food and thus nourish the blood and rest the weak stomach.
 What are these harmless remedies
 The most valuable are vegetable ferments pure pepsin, Golden Seal and fruit salts. All of these are now combined in the form of pleasant tast- ing tablets, sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Are these tablets superior to the various liquid preparations so called dyspepsia cures?
 Most decidedly, because all liquid medicines become stale with age and lose whatever good qualities they may have had originally, while the tablet retains it's properties indefinitely. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be car ried in the pocket, always at hand ready for use when traveling or at daily occupation. They cost but 50 cents and should be kept in every fam ily. They keep the digestion perfect and save doctors bills by warding of disease.
 Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets adapted to all forms of dyspepsia?
 Yes, because in all cases the trouble results from undigested, fermenting food Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cause the food to be digested before it has time to ferment
 If you wish to know more about them ask your druggist for package and try them.

law. This, in my opinion, is one of those times.
 If the United States is justified in breaking the barriers of international law in it's fight against Spain on the broad ground of humanity, it occurs to me that an effort to feed the starv- ing cattle of California would meet with public sanction even though that effort involved human life.
 The sight of few rude graves upon the borders of Nevada may not be a pleasant one do look upon, but it will be no worse than that of the San Joa- quin valley strewn with the bones of helpless dumb animals. A spirit that will not yield to the mute appeals such as are now being made, is one that should be met by force if neces- sary. This is a desperate remedy, but the conditions which suggest it are also desperate. The right to exclude diseased cattle is conceded, but the right to exclude all cattle should be resisted to the bitter end. The law
 under which it is proposed to exclude California cattle was passed many years ago when the Texas fever was ! raging. We have no knowledge of any subsequent investigation, and the
 government reports, sc far as can be
 seen, contain no account of later declaration on the part of any officer that the fever still exists in the state Upon the representation of some
 interested parties a few years ago, the agricultural department removed the quarantine on the northern portion
 of the state; but the result has been to quarantine one-half the state against the other This is clearly an invasion of state rights, and would not stand the test of judicial scrutiny J. T. Flynn in San Francisco Breeder and Sportsman.
