he evening of October 6, 1885, In con-
lection with these relations he referr-
d to the accused as an adventures.

Mr. Welty intimated that the state
lent for the defense would be some {

Nervous Dyspepsia
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well. to Know
What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean.
MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYS-
PEPSIA TABLETS.


PEPSIA TABLETS.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it think their nerves are
to blame, and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines. 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 weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach SO
much as in nearly every organ. In
some cases the heart palpitates and is
irregular; in others the kidneys are af-
fected; in others the bowels are consti-
pated, with headaches: still others are
