1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can be Cured Unless the Sto-
mach is First Made Strong
and Vigorous


This is plain because every organ in the
body depends on the stomach for it's nour-
ishment. Nerve, bone, sinew, blood are
made from the food which the stomach
converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this,
that and the other remedy and neglect the
most important of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of Indigestion are
sour risings, bad taste in the mouth, gas in
stomach and bowels, palpitation, all-gone
feeling, faintness, headaches, constipation;
later comes loss of flesh, consumption, liver
and heart troubles, kidney diseases, nerv-
GUS prostration, all of which are the indi-
rect result of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from indigestion
should make it a practice to take after
each meal one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, allowing 1t to dissolve in the mouth
and thus mingle with the saliva and e..ter
the stomach in the most natural way.
These Tablets are highly recommended by
DR.. Jennison because they are composed
of the natural digestive acids and fruit
essence which assist the stomach in digest
ing all wholesome food before 1t has time
to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists, full sized packages at so cents.
They are also excellent for invalids and
children. A book on stomach diseases and
thousands of testimonials of genuine cures

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating. them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

Theory of the Ofhcers
1t is claimed by the officers that these
are not the only documents in their posses
sion, but merely a sample. 1t is alleged
the writer would send a number of postal
cards at one time, as though in an attempt
to attract attention.
The theory is that possibly some time
Harrison loaned Miss James money, or
probably helped her out of some difficulty,
and now seeks to embarrass her.
