Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame, and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring reme-
dies The real seat of the mischief is lost
sight of; the stomach is the organ TO be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach weak
ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly every
other organ; in some cases the heart palpi-
tates and is Irregular in others the kidneys
are affected; III Others the bowels are con-
stipated, with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite.

heartburn.

THE CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Major Clnrk's Address Before TIL,
Society of Theosophy

SOctetS OF fheOsOphy.
Major James Albert Clark gave third
of the series of lectures last night at The
osophical Hall, the subject being The
Karma of Nations" After explaining the
Interpretation of the word according to
the lore of the sases of old that what
soever a man soweth that shall he also
reap. the lecturer applied the law of Kar-
ma. which is that of cause and effect, to
the record left by decayed and non-exist-
ing nations, showing that an ignoring of
the law of altruism, which obligates the
highest in the universe to help the lowest
has resulted invariably in disaster or de-
struction. This will be the fate in a meas
ure. he said. If in the consideration of ter
ritorial expansion greed actuates the pur-
pose. The despair of the race in all his
tory has been in the sowing of the wind
only to reap the whirlwind. All life, he
argued, has been proved to be a sequence
which cannot be interrupted, as witness
the accepted fact of the law OF the con-
servation of force, the persistence of en-
ergy and the indestructibility of matter.
The ensouling of collection of individual
entities. which makes national soul, is a
sequence. he thought, which cannot be in
terrupted. and any nation dying out must
perforce. begin its new state out of the
materials it takes over from the old. He
claims that in the fluxing of many into
one, as in America today, the people con-
serve the wisdom of Egypt the spiritual
ity of India, the philosophy of Greece, the
Jurisprudence of the Roman empire, but
they inherit also the vices, and if modified
by true American thought the karma-
Nemesis of the future will guide the cur
rav,t.s g. f,a,Ff tn rnraFn
harmony of all nature until In accord with
theosophic aspiration equilibrium shall
reign in the unity of the universe and the
brotherhood of man. Tennyson's FEEDER
alton of Nations and the Parliament of
the World he said, is but another mode
of expression of the same great ultimate
results of karma.
