CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple But Safe and Effect
ual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long ago
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a full
or bloating sensation after eating. ac-
companied with sour or watery risings,
a formation of gases causing a pres
sure on the heart and lungs. and diff
cult breathing; headaches. tickle ape
tite, nervousness and q general played
out. languid feeling
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth. coated tongue and If the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show a Shiny, inflamed condition.
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 mu-
cous surface of the stomach. To Sc
cure prompt and healthy digestion Is
the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhal condition will have disappeared
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diastase.
Aseptic, Pepsin, a. little Nux, Golden
Sea and fruit acids These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not being patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr. n. l. Booher of 2110 Dearborn
street, Chicago, Ills, says: "Catarrh is
local condition resulting from a neg
lected cold in the head, whereby the lin
ing membrane of the nose becomes in
famed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of the stomach
without cure, but to-day / am the hap
piest of men after using only one box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets l can
not find appropriate words to express
my good feeling. I have flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest as well as the simplest and most
convenient remedy for any form of in
digestion, catarrh of the stomach, bill
iousness, sour stomach, heartburn and
boating after meals.

CHICAGO MARK ETS.


Chicago, Sept. 26-Opening prices in
wheat showed practically no change from
yesterdays closing figures. Trading was
light at first with the professional ee>
ment inclined to sell on the theory that
the recent advance had about reached its
climax, while commission houses had
fair buying orders from the country.
Early statistical news was decidedly
bullish and soon after the opening a
marked falling off in offerings took place,
with an increase in the demand and "A
fair advance resulted. Some nervousness
was shown by September shorts and the
spread between September and December
wiGened at one time to 13sc. Rumors
were current of squeeze in September
and an increase of only $4,000 bushels in
the contract stocks tended to increase
the uneasiness of shorts. Nevertheless
the professional element continued to sell
and though offerings were well absorbed
for some time, the short selling and profit
