INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH TROUBLE
Irstautiy Relieved and Permanently Cured by stuart's DyspepsIa
 Tablets.
New Discovery, But Not Pa ent
 Medicine.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting account of what he considers a re- mark able cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the nse of the new discovery, stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 He says: "The patient was man who had suffered, to my Knowledge, for years, with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed 10 sour and create gases in the stomach: he had pains like rheu- matism in the back, shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and distress after eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh the heart became affected, causing palpitation and sleeplessness atnight.
 1 gave him powerful nerve tonies and blood remedies. but to no purpose. As an experiment finally bought a fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug stole and gave them to him. Almost immediate relief was given and after he had use four boxes he was, to all appearances, fully cured.
 There was no more acidity or sour wa,ery risings,n no bloating after meal S, the appetite was vigorous and he has gained between 10 and l2 pounds in weight of solid, healthy flesh.
 Although Stewards Dyspepsia Tab blets are advertised and sold in drug stores, yet 1 consider them most valuable addition to any physician g line of remedies, as they are perfectly harmless and can be given to children or in aids or in any condition of the stomach with perfect safety, being harmless and containing nothing but fruit and vegetable essences, pure pep sin and Golden Seal.
 Without any qrestion they are the safest, most effective cure for indiges- tlon, biliousness, constipation and all defangemen ts of the stomach, however sight or severe"

DEWEY'S CHINESE SAILORS.
They are Not Entitled to Land Under the
Exclusion Law.

They are Not Entitled to Land Under the
Exclusion Law.
NEW YORK, August 31.-A special
to the Herald from Washington says:
Under the Chinese exclusion law, some
members of the crew of the Olympia,
who served with such credit in the bat
tie of Manila Bay as to win special
commentator from Admiral Dewey in
letter to the Navy Department, may
not be allowed to set foot on shore
when his flagship reaches New York.
In the battle with the Spanish feet they
were assigned to duty in passing ammu
milton and performing other duties con-
rected with fighting the ship, and every
one of them did his task we'll enough
for Admiral Dewey, who even suggest
ed that, if possible, they be admitted to
American citizenship.
His letter was referred to the Treas
ury Department. The Secretary re-
piled that although he greatly regret
ted the fact, there was no way in which
the law could be waived. The Chinese
in the Olympia's crew could not be adj
mitted to the United States unless they
had been lawfully in this country at
the time of their enlistment.
The law is mandatory upon the Off
Gals of the Treasury Department, and
it will be the duty of Collector of Gus
toms Bidwell, at New York, to prevent
the Chinese members of the Olympias
crew from leaving the ship while she is
in New York harbor. Under the law
naval vessel is part of the soil of the
country, and, technically, if any of
them were enlisted in San Francisco
they have not been out of the United
States serving on the Olympia. It is
not probable, however, that any action
would be taken by the treasury officials
should the Cinnamon be allowed to
land, on the superstition that they are
legally entitled to reside in the United
States.
