CONSUMPTION Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St, Indianapo-
lis. Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

tan OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia ard Indigestion by
Dieting a Dangerous and Useless one


We say the old way but really It Is a very
common one at present time and many dys-
pr ptics and physicians as well consider the
first step TO take ir attempting to cure iudi-
gestiou IS to diet. either by selecting certsu
foods aud rejecting others or TO greatly di-
minish the quantity usually tukeu, in o,hcr
words, the starvation plan is by many sup
posed to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure Of the starvation
cure for dyspepsia has been proven time and
again, but still the moment dyspepsia makes
its appearance a course Of dieting is at once
advised
All this is radically wrong. Il is foolish
and unscientifc to recommend dieting or
starvation to a man suffering from dyspepsia.
because indigestion itself starves every
organ and every nerve and every fibre in the
body
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant uu-
triton, which means plenty Of good, whole
some well-cooked food and something to as
sst the weak stomach to digest it. This is
exactly the purpose for which Stuart's Dys.
pepsia Tablets are adapted and this is the
method by which they cure the worst cases
Of dyspepsia. in other words the pateut eats
plenty Of wholesome food aud Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets digest it for him. In this way
the system is nourished and the oyerworked
stomach rested, because the tablets will di-
gest the food whether the stomach works or
not. One Of these tablets will digest 5000
grains Of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and safest
remedy for stomach troubles and every trial
makes one more friend for this excellent
preparation. Sold at 80 cts for full sized
package at all drug stores.

MR.. VRGlL's BIG NUGGET.
Weighed Ninety-eight Pounds and
Was Worth More Than s1I 900.


Was Worth More Than s11, 900.
A single chunk of gold weighing 9s
pounds and worth ll,75O This was the
size and value of the nugget that f. II.
Virgil Of East Portland found in French
Gulch, near Gold Hill, Columbia county
Cal, in 1857.
81 tell you, remarked Mr. Virgil as
his eyes lighted up with the recollection of
that famous find, that was the event of
a lifetime and caused much excitement all
over the country. Up to that time it was
the largest nugget that had ever been un-
covered in California. 1t was a mere &C
cident, and some one else might have been
the lucky one
Il had partner named West, and we
had been mining at French Gulch, but
were not doing much, and we decided to
90 over to the Fraser river, and we sold
out the very claim where l afterward
found the big chunk of gold Well, went
up north, but that did not pan out very
well, and l decided to return. West and l
actually went back and bought back our
old claim. We went to work again on the
old ground. One day l was working away
With my pick, taking out pieces Of dull
red stone that was SO light and porous
that it would float in water While l was
digging in the stuff my pick struck some
| thing hard. / worked away and finally
the lump was exposed My pick had
creased one side, exposing the color of
/ gold l could not believe my eyes 1 took
off my hat and threw it on the ground
and then tried to lift the chunk, but it
was too heavy. 1t seemed fast to the earth
| l cut my finger severely. 1 called to West,
and as he came thought L could hang my
coat on his eyes Miners gathered from
all directions
"It was custom for miner when he
| found n big nugget to sit down on it and
with dish of beans wait till he could
make safe disposition of it. In this case
/ we formed procession and took the chunk
| to the express Office, where the amazement
of the officials was great indeed The
chunk of gold had some quartz in it, but
1 received S11, $50 for it. Isuppose it must
| have been thrown where l found it from
some distance / and others had passed
over the place many times but never
| dreamed that it was underneath We sold
out the claim, but it never paid very much

INC illness of Bishop Foss,

Atlantic City, March 13.-The sudden
illness of Bishop Foss, who is presiding
over the Methodist Episcopal conference
being held here, resulted in the omission
of a greater portion of the spiritual ex-
ercises which were to be held at st.
Paurs church yesterday. The ordination
of elders and deacons was also postponed
owing to the bishops illness. Physical
exhaustion from overwork is the cause
of his breakdown. 1t is not, however,
