An Old Theory
Exploded
Food not Digested in the
Stomach.
This Organ only Prepares Il for Assiml.
iation by the Intestlnes.

Until a few months ago the medical
profession, as we'll as the public at LARGE,
have always believed that food wa.
digested in the stomach; but thanks TO
science, they are now enabled to follow
the whole process of digestion with their
own eyes from the moment food enter,
the mouth until IL is taken into the sya-
tenn, or carried off through the bowels.
Heretofore all remedies for the cure "
dyspepsia have been given with the idea
of assisting the stomach to digest food.
and tho discovery that this organ does
not digest il at all explains the cause OF
their failure TO cure the disease, and its
constant increase in spite of the thou
sand and one remedies used. Another
and equally important discovery was
also made; that there are three distinct
kinds of dyspepsia. two OF which require
different remedies, and the remedy for
one must BIO exactly opposite to that
of the other in character. For instance,
acid dyspepsia requires an alkaline treat
mont; indigestion an acid treatment:
these combined and given in one dose

third and most dangerous of all, iptesti-
nal dyspe psia) requires germicide which
must be harmless, and yet strong enough
to destroy the bacilli which cause the
disease. Understanding this and know

which can be taken internally without

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 1S.-Gen. Taylor
gained 1893 votes today through de-
cision of Judge Jones at Glasgow, KY,
in the Nelson county case. The Courier
Journal reports from the official count
in 11S of the 119 counties of the state
gave Taylor plurality of 261. This,
with the Nelson county votes, makes
Taylor's plurality 1859 according to a
democratic newspaper figures, which
are less favorable to Taylor than those
received from republican sources, and
at the republican state headquarters.
In addition, the official count in
Louisville has shown gains of several
hundred votes for Taylor over the I'M
official returns, which are not yet in

Judge Jones decision in Glasgow to-
day involved 1898 votes, which, though
cast for w. S. Taylor, were certified
for w. P. Taylor by the precinct Off

forms. Judge Jones, on application of
Taylor, granted a writ directing the

PURSUE OPPOSITE TACTICS.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Terry McGovern
established a record tonight by knock
ing out two men in quick succession in
the same ring. Patsey Haley of Buff
falo was the first victim, and was
counted out after 1 minute and 40 sec
onds of fighting, and Turkey Point Bill
Smith of Philadelphia, who went out
after one minute Of the third round.
Both fights were to have been for six
rounds each. Haley and Smith adopted
opposite tactics, Haley mixing it from
the start and Smith racing vividly
around the ring in the effort to keep
beyond McGovern's swings. Had Smith
mixed it he would have lasted no long
er than Haley.
Haley weighed 119, McGovern 122
pounds, and Smith 1923. Haley and
Smith tossed for choice, and Haley,
losing the privilege of meeting, Nc
Govern last was given to Smith.
McGovern landed right and left so
rapidly that Haley was unable to
withstand him. McGovern stopped for
breath and Haley landed a left on the
chin. InlS started MCGONefu aILer MN
and he put Haley to the floor with a
short left hand jab to the jaw. Haley
was down seven seconds, but came UP.
He led left for McGovern, but was
blocked and McGovern landed right
and left three times in rapid success
sion, staggering Haley around the ring
Haley led with left and McGovern
whipped his right hand across, catch
ing Haley on the point of the jaw. Ha-
ley went down like log, and lay mo-
tionless. He was counted out by Ref
cree Siler, and in five minutes he re-
covered consciousness. Time of round,
I'm. ASS.
AS soon as McGovern and Smith
faced each other, it was evident that
Smith was determined to keep away
from McGovern as long as possible.
He sprinted around the ring, even
turning his back and running with Nc
Govern in hot pursuit. The fight from
start to finish was an attempt on Nc
Governs part to get Smith in a corner
where he could hit him, and on Smiths
part to keep as far away as possible.
