THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
 and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, is not Argument,
 and Facts are Stubborn Things.

and Facts are Stubborn Things. l Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases, so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any. remedy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi- gestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being hum- bugged, especially in medicines.
 This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets.
 Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not a secret patent medicine, no secret is made of their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the diges- tive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hy- drastis and nux. They are not cathar- tic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mis- chief. This is the only secret of their success.
 Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach trou- bles because they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble Is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food, That is all there is to it. Food not digested or half di- gested is poison as it creates gas, acid- ity, headaches, palpitaton of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
 They are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package. Address F. A.. Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich, for little book on stomach diseases, sent free.

 Amos J. Beers, wholesale fruit and produce dealer at 259 and 261 State street has filed an assignment in the probate court naming Peter M.

The schedule of assets and liabilities has not been filed, but it is said that an es- tate of less than $1o,oOo is involved.
 The assignment of MT. Beers is a mark of the decadence of what was in former years one of New Haven's most profitable lines of wholesale trade. MT. Beers has been in the fruit busi- ness for upwards of thirty years and was formerly considered as possessed of quite a handsome amount of wealth. He has been one of New Haven's lead HE, CIllZeIlS, lldVlHS DtGI Clllil liicll loL years of the republican town committee and afterwards collector of customs for the port of New Haven. For years past since retiring from the custom house his place of business has been on lower State street. He was thirty years ago in the fruit business on Chapel street, near State, and was a near neighbor in business of the late E. D. Hall, father of E. F. Hall, now prominent State street merchant. In the early days of his business there was a fleet of vessels from this port engaged in the West h. dia trade direct and the fruit business was one which profted by this com- merce.
