Catarfh of the Stomach.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff
fective Remedy for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incur
able. The usual symptoms are a full
or bloating sensation after eating, ac-
companied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, a formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inf1amed cOndi
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
Is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR. HarlandsOn, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal tablet composed of dias-
tase, aseptic pepsin, little nux, golden
seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores un-
der the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and, not being a patent medi-
cine, can be used with such perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will fol-

street, Chicago, writes: "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from a ne
elected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes

A Sample and Full Information Con-
corning the New Discovery for
Dyspepsia Sent Free to
Any Address.

A great deal of interest has been ex-
cited recently in the medical profess
sion by the discovery of a new prepara-
ton, which has made many remark
able cures in cases of dyspepsia and
indigestion.
This remedy is not a secret patent
medicine, but is a scientific combina
ton Of pure pepsin and bismuth and
fruit salts, pleasant to the taste, in
tablet form, and sold by druggists I'M
der the name of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets Dr. Erskine, who tested the
tablets in many cases with marked sue
cess, states that they act directly on
the food taken into the stomach di-
gestinp it perfectly, no matter how
weak the stomach may be; they have
no action on the bowels and do not
physic, being purely and simply cure
for dyspepsia and nothing else.
All physicians recommend them as
being the safest. most sensible, most
effective stomach remedy on the mar
ket
No dieting or change of habits is re-
Quired: eat all the wholesome food you
care for and take a tablet at each
meal. the food will be thoroughly di-
gested, the body nourished, the stomach
rested, that's the whole secret of cur

AGING TESTIMONY.

A Coroner's jury yesterday brought in
a verdict charging DR.. c. c. J. Wachen-
dorf with the murder of John Kehlenbeck,
who died under suspicious circumstances
last Tuesday night in lodging house at
315IS Jessie street. The medical and chem
ical testimony was to the effect that
death did not occur from disease or from
what are called natural causes and that
there was a sufficient quantity of unab-
sorbed morphine in the dead mans stom-
ach to have caused death.
Chemist L. S. Crackbon appeared before
the jury and told them that he had
found a large quantity of morphine in
kehlenbecks stomach This was surplus,
or unabsorbed. and it was positive proof
that the poison in the system had caused
the death of Kehlenbeck and that the
drug had been administered through the
mouth. The chemist had not completed
the cumulative analysis and would not be
able to do so until this evening. so that
he was unable to state the quantity in the
stomach or whether any other poison had
been used
Dir. Zabala's testimony corroborated the
poison theory. He had made an autopsy,
could find no cause for death in the con-
dition of the organs and could ascribe
Kehlenbecks demise to poison only.
The other witnesses told nothing that
had not been published already. 1t was
proved that Wachendorf had been admin

where he tainted away, but was brought

for an injection of cocaine. Coroner Hill
fished grain of the drug out of his medi-
cine chest and Mr.. Mogan injected it into

Another circumstance connected with

transports for the carriage of stoves
that are known before departure from

purposes would seem to be at least fail

futility of these shipments from Eastern
points, and while we have no intention or
desire to place ourselves in a position

WAS MENTALLY DERANGED
ROY WHITNEY, AGED 20 YEARS
KILLS HIMSELF.

While labOring under the strange hal
lucination that every person he met criti-
cized his appearance, Roy Whitney, the
20-year-old son of Samuel G.. Whitney, a
collector, last night blew out his brains
with a 3S-caliber Smith & Wesson pistol,
the property of his father. The deed was
committed at his home 246 Scott street
Whitney was employed as night porter
of the Hotel St Nicholas but was forced
to resign his position about a month ago
on account of i'll health. After that he
seemed to grow melancholy and frequent
ly limited at suicide Last evening he ate
a hearty supper and seemed TO be in UNI
usually good spirits. Going to his room,
he dressed himself in his street attire and
started to leave the house. His mother
hailed him and asked him where he was
going. He replied that he intended to
take a walk and would return in about
an hour. His mother, evidently suspect
ing something wrong, consented to &C
company him. While Mrs. Whitney was
preparing herself for the contemplated
walk the foolish boy returned to his prl-
Vate apartments and. standing before a
mirror, blew out his brains. Coroner Hill
was at once notified, but in Difference to
the wishes of his distracted parents he
did not remove the body to the Morgue.
Several days ago Whitney complained
of feeling III ana asked his father to take
a walk with him. During the short trip
he frequently complained that everybody
they passed was looking at him.
why do they size me up in such a
determined fashion," he asked his
father. is it because / look so funny
The anxious parent assured him that
he was not a subject for ridicule and
spoke encouragingly of his appearance.
After returning to his home Whitney con-
tinued to speak of the supposed annoy
ing glances of the people whom he met
during the walk, and declared his inten-
ton of ending his misery as he eX-
pressed it. His father evidently fearing
that he would commit suicide, secreted
TWO reVOlVerS which he had in the house
under Il washstand.
Shortly before the young man destroyed
himself his father went TO the Washstand
and took out one of the revolVers, as he
intended to go to a lodge meeting and
expected not TO return home until a late
hour. About ten minutes later shot
rang out and divining that his son had
committed suicide, Whitney Sr. rushed
into his sons room to find him dead, with
a gaping wound in the right side of his
head. 1t is supposed that the young man
saw his father go to the washstand and
get his weapon, and soon as he had
left the room he secured the remaining
pistol
At first it was reported that Whitney
had killed himself over love affair, but
this is denied by his parents They say
that they intended to have him sent to

5000 Times
Wonderful Power of a New Medical
Discovery.

A remarkable preparation for the cure
of dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach
trouble IS very recently been made
known and will undoubtedly be of great
benefit to nine-tenthS of the American
nation, who are VIGOROUSLY a nation of
dyspeptics; everybody has more or less
dyspepsia, ii seems to be fashionable
disease; at the same time, Indigestion
is by no means a tritling thing, but it
is well known 70 all physicians that
consumption, kidney and heart troubles,
headache and nearly all nervous weak
neSses are the result, in the beginninr
OF imperfect digestion. Very few pc =
pie realize the Importance of a healthy
digestion, as it is the handspring Of
happiness in this life. The person with
perfect digestion knows nothing of ner-
Vousness, sleeplessneSs, headaches and
the many disagreeable symptoms of a
disordered stomach. This new remedy
is not a secret patent medicine, recon-
mended TO cure everything under the
sun, but is purely and simply a stoni-
ach remedy composed of vegetable es-
sences, fruit salts. pure pepsin, bis
muth and golden seal These Valua able
ItIlltOlItS are cOl0DlneQ In the form OF
pleasant tasting tablets and now sold
by druggists everywhere under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, A
scientific experiment made with these
tablets proved that one grain of the di-
gestive principle would digest 5000 times
its own weight of eggs, meat or similar
wholesome food. The whole trouble
with dyspeptics is the fact their stom-
achs are too weak to digest the fool
eaten; these tablets digest the food
rest the stomach, nourish the body and
thus give the stomach time to recover
its natural condition, when they are no
longer required. DR.. Showorth, in his
experiments. also reports a marked in
crease in flesh when Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets We're used, which is not sur
prising when it is remembered that
most people are thin because of poor
digestion; from all accounts it would
appear that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

form of stomach weakness and the best

EVERYBODY MUST PAY.
Poll-Tax Will Be Raised to So After
This Week

Assessor Dodge and his deputies are
preparing a disagreeable surprise for
those who are delinquent in their poll
tax. Only two days remain In which 81
can be paid for poll tax. On Monday it
will require SO to satisfy the Assessor.
This is especially important to those who
own real estate and have not paid their
poll tax, for it becomes a lien on their
property. There are several thousand
capitalists and large property owners who
have evaded payment of their poll tax
thus far, but as the Assessor is preparing
complete roll Of delinquents 1t will be
entered against their real property in
every case. If the tax is not paid by the
end of the year it will be 81, together with
the cost of collection.
Chief Poll Tax Collector Firmin is Of
the opinion that by this procedure all
those persons who have heretofore es
capped payment of poll tax, although best
evade it this year. Many people who ars
out of town are remitting their poll tax
by mail. Chief F,rmin is getting S. and
Sc now from property owners who failed
to pay their poll tax last year.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF
HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look for
the Cause

Heart troubles. at least among Amer
leans, are certainly increasing. and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life. it is more often the re-
suit of weak stomachs, of poor diges-
ton
Real, organic heart disease is incur
able, but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is af
fected by that form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fersn entation
from half-digested food: there is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest. caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs interfering with their action;
hence arise palpitatiOn and short
breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and Watery. which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation,
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found at most drugstores, and
which contain valuable. harmless di-
gestive elements in a pleasant, conve-
nient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
