A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held on Thursday evening, the 10th, at
the Church of the Incarnation, New
York, in the interest of this institution,
| founded in 1886, for the care and train
ing of unruly and delinquent boys. DR..
Grosvener, the rector, opened the meet
ing, dwelling chiefly on the sanitary in
| fluence in body and soul of the pure air
and noble scenery of the Berkshire hills,
especially on boys taken from the
lowed, giving an account of the founding
of the institution. Mr. Eaton stated that
this was the first attempt to deal with
this class of boys as individuals, with
kind but strict management. About so

formed Rev. Arthur Lawrence of

the meeting with an earnest appeal for
an endowment fund to place this work
beyond all possibility of failure. One
hundred boys could be received if funds
were provided. Mr.. Choate said there
would always be many boys of all classes
who, through circumstances or heredi
tary tendencies, would go to the bad,
and an institution such as this should

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well. No Chronic
Disease Can BE Cured Unless the
stomach Is First Made Strong
and Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ in the
body depends on the stomach for its nour-
ishment. Nerve. bone, sinew. blood are
made from the food which the stomach
converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this:
that and the other remedy and neglect the
most important of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of Indigestion are
sour risings. bad taste in the mouth, gas
in stomach and bowels, palpitation, all
gone feeling. faintness, headaches, consti-
patton: later comes loss of flesh, consump-
tion, liver and heart troubles. kidney dis
ease, nervous prostration. all of which are
the indirect result Of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from Indigestion
should make 1t practice to take after
each meal one Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, allowing it to dissolve in the mouth
and thus mingle with the saliva and enter
the stomach in the most natural way.
These tablets are highly recommended by
DR.. Jennison because they are composed
of the natural digestive acids and fruit
essences which assist the stomach in di-
gesting all wholesome food before 1t has
time to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists. full sized packages at so cents.
They are also excellent for invalids and
