The Drexfua Case.

remarkable change has taken place
In public opinion regarding the guilt of
Dreyfus, and there is good reason to hope
that it will be reflected in the sentence
rendered by the supreme tribunal. His
feelings must be something akin to those
of the sufferer released from the chains
of a weak stomach by that powerful foe
to dyspepsia, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
A man might as well be in prison as to
have a weak stomach. 1t will bring just
as much misery. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will cure constipation, indiges
ton, biliousness, liver and kidney trou-
bles. An occasional dose will keep the
bowels regular and the stomach vigorous.

BUSINESS FAILURE
Is Frequently Caused by the Worry
Attendant On Dyspepsia.

If you would win in the Battle of Life
you must have a clear brain, keen
senses, perfect vigor, shrewdness, en-
ergy and ambition.
Dyspepsia kills these needful quail
ties. You can't succeed if you are con-
stantly tortured by dyspepsia or indi-
gestion. But you can get rid of dys-
pepsia, indigestion, biliousness, sour
stomach, or any other ailment of stom-
ach or digestive organs by simply
taking one or two of Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
With perfect digestion go a strong,
healthy body, a clear, capable brain,
vigor. ambition, determination, ener-
gy, activity. keen, alert senses. Dodd's
Dyspepsia Tablets ensure all these.
Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets have new
er failed to cure any or all of the dis
eases named wher they have been
fairy tried. They cannot fail.
DIR. r. B. Strong, New York City,
writing m the American Journal of
Health, describes Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets as a remedy which could not
possibly be more cfficacious though it
eT1anated from a council of the leading
physicians of the world.
