CATARRH OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effec-
tual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
boating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or Watery
rlslngs, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing, headaches, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show Shiny, infiamed condition.
The cure of this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily.
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
cuouS surfaces of the stomach To Sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the
safest and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet composed of Diatase.
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux. Golden
Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, and not being a patent medicine
can be used with perfect safety and
assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their reg
ular use after meals.
Mr.. N. ]. Booher of 271O Dearborn
street, Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarri1
is local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby
the lining membrane of the nose be-
comes inflamed and the poisonous dis
charge therefrom passing backward in
to the throat reaches the stomach, thus
producing catarrh of the stomach Med
ical authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh Of the stomach
without cure. but to-day am the hap
piest of men after using only one box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 can
not find appropriate words to express
my good feeling. I have found flesh,
appetite and sound rest from their USE
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the
simplest and most convenient remedy
for any form of indigestion, catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.
Send for little book mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Company, Marshall. Mich. The tablets
can be found at all drug stores.

Boyce favored the amendment.
Wolfe opposed the amendment, and
asserted that the patrons of the race
track, many of whom were among the
best citizens of the State. did not de-

Rowell said that while he should like
to support the original bill, in its
absence, he should in the interest of
morality, support the amendment.
Shortridge said the principle of
by the amendment. The amendment,
he said, made gambling legal if it was
stopped early 1t was intended only to
regulate race track men with respect
to when they should begin and when
stop. He thought the amendment
might go farther and regulate poker
playing so that when a player had
Jack full" beaten he should drop out.
He was opposed to regulation. He be-
lieved in liberty, pure and simple, and
said that every time law was passed
it restricted his personal liberty. He
predicted that the Senate, before it got
through, would enact a law regulating
the way in which Senator Simpson
should curl his moustache.
In closing the debate, Ashe urged the
adoption of the amendment, contending
that racing had fallen into the hands Of
gamblers and that as a consequence it
had degenerated He proposed by re-
