No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves are
to blame, and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines. The
real seat of the mischief is lost sight
of. The stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms Of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so
much as in nearly every organ. In
some cases the heart palpitates and is
irregular; in others the kidneys are af-
fected; in others the bowels are consti-
pated, with headaches: still others are

A gentleman who has been a cit

those of Columbus sailors when
the last green shore was left be-

famous voyage in 1892. In the
presence Of his wife and eight
children who were accompanying
him be took courage and gave bnt
few signs of weakness until he
reached the land of milk and honey.
He arrived in Ardmore Thursday
and purchased team of good mules

to that community, but before the

ately home-sick. He quickly re-
solved to return to his former home.
His troubles were so great that he
refused food. His sleep, if he
slept at all, was filled with dreams
of his old home, the old church
house, and gay laughter of the
mountain youth. He offered for
sale his team and wagon, and fin

He made no investigation into
the country's resources, and he re-

Your Danger Now

Is from the oyerworked condition Of
the liver and kidneys which are unable
to expel impurities from the blood.
This causes rheumatism. Hoods Sar-
sapariIla has been wonderfully success
ful in curing this disease. IL nentrali-
zes the acid in the blood and perma-
nently cures the aches and pains which
other medicines fail to relieve. Hoods
SarsapariIla is the best winter medi-
cine because il purifies, enriches and
vitalizes the blood. 1t gives help just
where help is needed. II tones the
stomach, stimulates the liver, and
arouses and sustains the kidneys. 1t
wards off pneumonia, fevers, bronchitis,
colds, coughs and the grip.

cling, the case has not ceased to excite
attention.
Mr.. Thomas said Saturday that the
original can With the remainder Of the
powder left over after mixing the cakes
had been taken away by DIR. Critch-
field, for analysis. The powder had
been bought at neighboring country
store, and was one of the low priced
brands. He paid, Mrs. Thomas said,
twenty-five cents or less per pound
for it.
DIR. Critchfield said that the patients
had the symptoms of alum poisoning.
AS the same kind Of baking powder is
sold in many city groceries, as well as
country stores, DR.. Critchfield thought
it important that a chemical examina-
ton should be made to determine its in

powder remaining in the can to DR.. F.
