PECULIAR P0lS0NS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food

Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs Of cer-
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomalnes) are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of Indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness.
does not promptly and thoroughly
digest the food. The result is a heavy,
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay, poisoning the blood,
making IL thin, weak, and lacking in
red corpuscles: poisoning the brain,
causing headaches and pain in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this Is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal
and weak digestion shows itself not
only in loss of appetite and flesh, but
in weak nerves and muddy complexion.
Ht Sltdl T-HSllSll SNltuliSl, iluAlSy
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity Of digestive acids 0ac-
tic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic
products; the most sensible remedy ir
all cases of indigestion Is to take after
each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. because they supply in
pleasant, harmless form all the ele'
ments that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will cure every form oi
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, bright eye and cleai
complexion, because all these result
only from wholesome food well di'
gested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at so cents full sized
package or by mail by enclosing price
to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich, but ash
your druggist first.
A little book on stomach disease:
mailed free. Address Stuart Co., Mar
shall, Mich.

known to the Egyptians and Romans.
Specimens have been found in the
tombs of the former, and documentary
evidence from Pliny, Seneca, Lucretius

going on and it will be completed prob
ably by tonight. AS soon as it is fin
ished the old iron cells in the present
jail will be erected in it and the pris-
oners transferred
After all the law-breakers have been
safely lodged in the new frame struct-
ure the work of razinE the old one will
be commenced to make room for the
new one. This will very likely be
started on MONDAY or Tuesday at the
latest 1t viii! not take over two or
three weeks to haul down the old
structure and then the new one will go
up.
The present structure is a menace
not only TO the health of its unfortun
ATE occupants. but to the health of y
large section of the city and it is there
lore desired to dissipate existing con
ditlons as speedily as possible. For
this reason the work Will be hur-
red up until the prisoners are moved
into the new Jail.
The new county jail will be built on
the property of the county in the rear
or the present building and on the
ground now occupied by it. 1t is pos
slple that some Of the prisoners now
confined there who have serious
charges against them will be trans
ferred to the Warwick county jai! at

Will present as pleasing an appearance
as could be expected in structure of
this character and will be handsomely
furnished inside and out. When it is
finished Elizabeth City county will be

NO MINES PUT DOWN.

But Correspondent of the Washing
ton Post Says So.
Some enterprising newspaper cores
pondent sent the following special TO
the Washington Post under Norfolk
headline. After a warliSe introduction,
the dispatch says: NM
Extraordinary precautions are be-
ing taken to insure the stopping of 4
Spanish fleet in the lower Chesa peake
From the two mining easements at the
fort cables now run out to the eX-
panse OF water between the horseshoe
and the fort, over which q fleet bound
north would have to pass. Other ca
bleS extend across the entrance Of
Hampton Roads. These cables are at
tached to submarine mines, which are
of themselves almost sufficient protec-
ton to the fort
Those mines, which the gentleman
has placed in the waters of Chesa-
peake Bay and Hampton Roads, are
now peacefully resting behind the
ramparts of Fort Monroe and have not
been attached to the cables nor will
they be until actual war exists. The
Posts enthusiastic Norfolk war cor
respondent" probably wrote from what
he thought should be done and not
from what really has been accomplish
ed along this line.
The cables and bouys for the mines
have been put in position, but the
mines themselves have not been touch
ed since they arrived at Fort Monroe.
Everything is in readiness to attach
them and it could be done in a few
hours, II such a course became neces-
sary. but it has not been done as yet.

A MAN WITH a JAG"

! Thinks He Owns Holt Street and
Causes Excitement
Late Thursday night man, whose
name cannot be aScertained, caused
quite a little excitement in West End
and had any number of ladies ON Holt
street looking for trouble.
When he arrived on Holt street at a
late hour, he he'd on his person one of
| those old fashioned kentucky '.jags"
and was of thefopinion that he was the
sole owner OF every bouse on the
street. Atheist 50 his actions would
have led any6ns-to believe.
He started near the street on which
the electric cars run and tried to enter
each and every one of the houses on
the street between there and the city
limits, but the keyho!es and his key
didn't match and he met with very lit
tie success. When he had gotten about
half way out the street the excitement
grew to frightfui proportions and there
was much talk of armed Intervention
on the part of the ladies who had been
so ruthlessly awakened from their
slurnbers.
What finally became Of the gentle
man in question is shrouded in mys-
terry, but it is supposed that he became
tired Of his nocturnal pastime and re-
tired from the scene.
