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

Every living thing. plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death Called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
or indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result is a heavy.
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay, poisoning the blood,
making 1t thin, weak and lacking IN red
corpuscles; poisoning the brain, caus-
ing 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.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
Qactic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic
products; the most sensible remedy in
all cases of Indigestion is to take af-
ter each meal one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply
in pleasant, harmless form all the
elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result
only from wholesome food well di-
gested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at 80 cents full
sized package, or by mail by inclosing
price to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich,
but ask your druggist first.

has been suffering for want of needed
supplies they mast share the RESPONSE
bi1ity with the medical department of the
army for such suffering.
There has been great deal OF misap
prehension with referano, to the supplies
furnished by the government growing out
of the fact that medical officers In the
field have been very ready to accept sup
plies from relief associations, which were
freely offered and even urged upon them,
rather than to make requisition for them.
The volunteer medical officers especially.
appear to have had great reluctance to
assume any proper responsibility, and
as 1t was for them to give receipts for the
supplies issued to them by the govern
ment, they preferred as rule to accept
these supplies from relief societies, even
when they were present in ample amounts
in field supplies depots in the immediate
vicinity OF their camps.
The agents furnish ing these supplies
frequently inferred, from the fact that
they were SO readily accepted that they
could not have been obtained from the
government. Thus sheets, mosquito
bars, cots, clinical thermometers aud
supply table have been literally supplied
by these relief associations, although II
has heer the intention of the medical de.
partment to furnish these or other articles
necessary for the care of our sick and
there has been no time since the COM
mencement of the war when they could
not have been obtained upon a Geographic
requisition sent to the surgeon general
of the army, if, for any reason, sutfi
cient supply was not on hand at the
field supply depot.

EPIDEMIC OF "JERKS."
4 Singular Addiction That Accompanied .
Southern Religious Revival.

Religious history, so full of anomalies,
nowhere chronicles anything stranger than
this epidemic of Jerks" 1t began at
Red River church in Robertson county,
Tenn, about 1902 and spread thence in
every direction. So did the revival wave,
of which it was an accompaniment rather
than O manifestation. If the influence,
whatever it was, came with vigor, the
most hardened sinner was not exempt.
Sometimes it affected barely one foot;
sometimes it took both; again it was one
hand and the feet or the arms alone; some
Asnes the head was the seat Of attack, and
it drew violently from side to side with
fixed features and CLASSY, staring eyes.
Those who fought hardest against 1t fell
prone, writhing, twisting, crying out with
the pains of severe cramps. Those who
sat passive fell into something like mild
oatalepsy.
Pious folk sang and shouted "Glory!'
as they ierked. Frightened sinners laid
hold upon tho nearest stable thing and
wrestled nightly to free themselves. 1t
was no light matter to be thus at grips
with 1.-THE power" as the simpler folk
called this undetnable force Dow, the
preacher, tells of passing camp ground
some miles out of Knoxville and seeing
upon the grounds 30 to 100 stout saplings,
cut off breast high ard made smooth for
the ierkers, fThe earth roundabout
them was torn up as by horses stamping
at flies or bulls in anger, he ADDS naive
lv and goes on to say the jerk antidote is,
Of all conceivable things, dancing.
Particularly for Christians the jerks
were exquisitely painful, but as soon as
the ierkers began to dance pain was ban
ished, they became intensely happy, as
sumed fixed upward guze, as though
looking into the gates Of gold, and wore
heavenly smile. Sinners could dance
away pain, but lacked the blissful exalta-
ton. Sometimes they danced themselve
into insensibility and came out of it weak
as if recovering from mortal illness

romance developed before the Supreme

were arraigned for the larceny Of har-

presented the following extraordinary
excuse for their action: The Curtis boy,
who is % years old, Is in love with a
beautiful 15.year-old girl in the neighbor-
hood, who fervently returned his ardent
affections But stern parents objected
to either engagement or marriage. After
the trials and tribulations incident to
such romantic affairs, the youthful couple
decided to elope. The would.be BRIDE
groom had a horse and carriage, but no
harness.
The Taylor boys, to whom he had con-
fided his troubles came to his rescue at
this critical point by telling him where q
good harness hung in q neighborine
stable, and assisting him to get 1t during
the small hours of the next dark night.

praise the value of the Canadian sealing
feet with view of the purchase of the

the real object of the mission is to be
found in the following Statements:
Questions have arisen as to the value OF
the interests that would be destroyed by
the abolition of pelagic sealing, and it il
quite probable that experts may have
