" "DEATH IN
THE POT"

Death in the pot" That sentence
condenses the story of a tragedy. A
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked in the large copper kettle long
disused, and the entire family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris. The story
was told by the newspapers from one
end of the land to the other. But it was
soon forgotten. The moral of it is, that
the purest of food, put into foul vessel,
instead of ministering to life may be
come a minister of death.
If the stomach is diseased II is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fullueSs after
eating, distressed feeling in the stomach,
of fluttering and sinking sensations. pal
pitation dizziness, ringing in ears, sour or
bitter risings and constipation. Not all
these symptoms may be present at the
same time, but any of them shows dis
ease in the digestive or alimentary tract.
The intimate relation of the stomach
to the blood heart, liver and lungs
makes it medical maxim In exploring
the causes of obscure diseases to " start
with the stomach" It is upon this
principle that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery effects so many and such
remarkable cures. II cleanses the stom-
ach and the system is cleansed. It in
creases the action of the blood making
glands, and the body is enriched by the
purified blood. 1t strengthens the di-
gestive or nutritive organs and these
strengthen the whole body by increasing
the quantity and quality of its nourish-
ment. 1t carries off the poisonous, effete
matter. In this way it re-establishes
health, banishing the bodily aches, which
are but symptoms of the stomach's
condition.
All medicine dealers sell Golden
Medical Discovery" If they try to
substitute something else, it is because
something else" pays better. Insist
on Golden Medical Discovery" if you
want to be cured.

ington, and the officials sincerely hope
that this will be done, as a very IA
vorable opinion of him is held here.
The effect of yesterdays action is to
completely renew the peaceful rela-
tions, trade, official, diplomatic, con-
sular, and in all other ways, between
this country and Spain. Following the
appointment of a United States min
lister to Madrid and a Spanish min
lister to Washington, it is expected
that consuls will be sent to Barcelona
and the other large places in Spain
where our consular representatives
were suspended by the war. At the
same time Spanish consuls will be ap-
pointed throughout this country.
Law officers of the government are
discussing in the light of the presi-
dents proclamation, the question of
mastering out the volunteer army. Il
is agreed that the law will be con-
strued to mean that the muster out of
the troops shall be upon orders of the
executive, and that necessarily there
must be a delay of a month or so in
the discharge of the volunteers. Mean
time they will receive their pay and
allowances.
In accordance with precedent, estab-
lished at the close of the civil war,
few of the volunteer organizations may
be retained in the service for some
time, although those who desire to re-
turn home will be permitted to do so.
The law authorities hold that, in
order that the volunteers in the Phil
ippines may remain in the service in
accordance with the provisions of the
army law passed by the last congress
they must re-enlist, not as organiza-
tions, but as individuals. The or
ganlzations and the individuals who
choose to go with them must be mus
tered out of this country. Those in
dividual volunteers who re-enlist in
the Philippines will receive not only
the two months extra pay provided
for on their discharge from the army,
but also travel pay from this country
to the Philippines and return, amount
ing to about $500. The war officials
have decided that it would be more
desirable to take a trained soldier in
the Philippines than to send that SOL
der home and return a raw recruit.
1t Is evident that many volunteers
in the Philippines are not anxious to
remain, and will take advantage of the
law to demand their muster out.
The effect of the proclamation de-
claring peace will be felt by the en-
listed men in the regular army to the
extent of reduction of 20 per cent in
pay.

Washington. April 12.-The condi-
tion of war which has existed between
the United States and Spain since
April o. 1898. terminated yesterday
when the last formalities in therestora D.
tion of peace were performed by the
exchange of ratifications Of the peace
treaty. Coincident with this President
Mckinley issued his proclamation de-
claring that the war was at an end
and the appointment of Bellamy Storer
was determined upon as United States
minister to Spain.
Mr.. Storer is now United States
minister to Belgium. His selection for
the Madrid mission is a distinct pro-
motion in the diplomatic line. The
difference in compensation is not con-
siderable, but the new minister to
Madrid will have very important duties
to perform, including the early nego-
tiation of a general treaty Of trade and
commity.
Bellamy Storer, who is a Catholic.
is 81 years Of age, having been born
in Cincinnati in 1S47. He was gradu-
ated from Harvard in 1867 and two
years later from the law school of
Cincinnati college. He entered public
life as a member of the Fifty-flrst con-
gress from the First Ohio district, was
reelected to the Fifty-third con-
gress and was a member of the foreign
affairs committee. He is a man Of
large private means.

leo, will be named as minister to Wash

cArARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, safe but ETectual Cur,
for It.


Catarrh Of the stomach has long been con.
sidered the next thing to ncurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloated
sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings, forma-
tion of gases, causing pressure on the lungs
and heart and difficult breathing; headache,
fcklo appetite, nervousness and general
played out aud languid feeling
There is often foul taste in the mouth.
coated tongue, and if the interior Of stomach
could be seen it would show a Shiny, in
famed condition.
The cure for this common aud obstinate
disease is found in IA treatment which causes
the food to be readily and thoroughly di-
gested before it has time to fernent and ir-
ltate the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach
To secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do, and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the safest and
best treatment is to use after each meal a
tablet, composed of Diastase, Asephc Pepsn,
little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name Of STARTS Dyspepsia
Tablets and, not being patent medicine,
can be used with perfect safety and assur-
rance that healthy appetite and thorough
digestion will follow their regular use after
meals
Mr. N. j. Booher of 2710 Dearborn st
Chicago, ILL.,, writes "Catarrh is a local con-
dition resulting from a neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane of the
nose becomes infiamed and the poisonous dis
charge therefron, passing back into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities
prescribed for me three years for catarrh of
the stomach without cure, but to-day I am
the happiest of men after using only one box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. l can not find
appropriate words 10 express my good feeling
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 indiges-
tion, catsrrh of the stomach, biliousness,
sour stomach. heartburn and bloating after
meals
Send for book, mailed free, on stomach
troubles, by addressing the F. A. Stuart Co.,
Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be found at
all drug stores.
