coUeHED UP A TACK.
william O'DonneIrs Friends Thought
He Had Consumption.

New York, April 30.-William O'Donnell,
of Newburg, coughed up tack on Friday.
Eight years ago. when he was very small
boy. he swallowed tack. and his parents
used the approved methods to remove it,
but the tack did not bulge.
At various times young O'Donnell COM
planned of severe pains in his right lung,
but no attention was paid 10 this, and the
suggestion that perhaps 1t was the tack
was ridiculed.
Lately o'Donnell has exhibited what
were considered infallible signs of quick
consumption. The doctors said he could
not live, and on Thursday his condition
was such that clergyman prepared him
for death. Thursday night his tempera-
ture went up 10 JOG degrees. Toward
morning he began to cough violently and
finally coughed up a substance about three
quarters of an inch long and as large
around as pencil.
This gave him immediate relief, and
investigation disclosed the long missing
tack imbedded in fieshy matter. 1t is low
believed that o'Donnell will speedily re-

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fectuaI Cure for 1t.

A Pleasant, simple, Hut safe ana Ell
fectuaI Cure for II.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloating
sensation after eating, accompanied with
sour or watery risings, formation of
gases causing a pressure on the heart and
lungs, and difficult breathing; headaches,
tickle appetite, nervousness, and general
played out languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and If the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to.ierment and
irritate the delicate mucous surface OF the
stomach. To secure 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 Diastase, Asep-
tic Pepsin, little Nux. Golden Seal and
fruit acids. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not
being a patent medicine can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that healthy
appetite will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. n. j. Booher. of 2710 Dearborn St,
Chicago, ILL.,, says: "Catarrh is local
condition resulting from neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
OF the nose becomes infiamed and the poi
sonous discharge therefrom passing back
ward into the throat reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of the stomach
without cure, but today ! am the happiest
OF men after using only one box of Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets. i cannot find appro-
pirate words to express my good feeling.
/ have flesh, appetite and sound rest from
their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets is the safest
as well as the simplest and most conven-
lent remedy for any form OF indigestion,
catarrh of the stomach, biliousness, sour
stomach, heartburn, and bloating after
meals.

IMPORTANT
TO MEN.
Dangerous Symptoms.

Many men become sexually weak early in life,
or at least prior TO old age. Some btea':se Of
dissipation high living; some because of
worry over bad crops business reverses or hnan-
cial failures; some because OF marital excuses;
but by far the larger portion Of those who are
prematurely weak, debiitated, or impotent in
their sexual organs, have become through
early habits of youth.
This weakness quickly cured by the use OF The
Old DR.. Hallock Wonderful Electric Pitts. Age
no barrier These Pills restore the vigor Of
youth.
LOST MANHOOD may be conveniently divided
into three stages, as follows:
First stage-The main trouble Is involuntary
night drains, which are usually accompanied
by dreams. They are a terrible drain urNn the
system. Whey rob the blood of its richness,
and often produce pimples, eruptions, dari; rings
under the eyes, and like symptoms.
By using these Electric Pills at this stage the
patient is quickly cured-the drains stop and all
the symptoms disappear.
Second stsge-The victim has drains, often
without dreams. He may have premature dis
charges and shrunken organs. lie shuns his
friends and avoids society. lie is often subject
TO nervousness, headaches, weak back, dyspepsia,
los spirits. loss OF memory. confusion OF ideas,
and 'sck OF energy, ambition and seltconiidence.
Six boxes of Pills should be used for this stage:
Gradually by their use the MAN is devel"ued and
strength once more is returned.
THE OLD DIR. HALLoCk ELECTRIC PILLS
COMBINE THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS,
WHICH ATTACK THE SEAT OF THE DISEASE
AND STOP THOSE DEBILITATING DRAINS, AR
REST THE DECAY, BUILD UP THE TISSUES,
AND THUS MAKE THE STEP ELASTIC AND
BRAIN ACTIVE. THERE is NO OTHER REM
EDY LIKE 1T.
Third stage-The drains are less frequent. The
sexual strength begins 10 fail. In time all power
is wholly lost The Transmission of life to pos
terity is only an empty dream The poor victim
has lost his grip on life, Every cherished amoi'
ton is dead. The world grows dark TO him.
DON'T LOSE HOPE,
but pills, and they will restore TO you
what have 1agt-Y0ITR PRECIOUS MAN

Forepaugh lioness who held the lions rec

in the circus winter quarters at Columbus,
Ohio. The mother was very jealous of
them, and several times almost killed
them when she thought they attracted too
much attention.
The dead lioness suffered from consump-
ton, and for many weeks before her death
lay in a corner OF her cage almost uncon-

cried a good deal.

Maj. Sears to Leave.

Duluth News Tribune. Juns11:
washington June 10.-Major Sears
of the corps of engineers, q. 8. A., now
stationed at Duluth, has been detailed
to establish harbor lines in tho harbors
or Puerto Rico.
'"Major Sears is considered to be one
of the ablest men in the United States
engineering service. Previously to 60
ing to Duluth he was stationed at Viii
lett's Point, NY When the great pro-
jects for Lake Superior seemed certain
to be made, Major Sears was detailed to
Duluth. The SPLENDID works that have
been constructed at Duluth, ct Mar
qustte, Portage lake and other points on
Lake Superior, and the manner in
which the details have been planned for
many even more important projects,
have won the major additional fame.
ut is quite likely that Major Sears
will be succeeded at Duluth at present
by relief officer. No orders have been
prepared in that direction, however"
Maj. Sears is we'll known here. we IN
derstand that an effort will be made to
have tho order countermanded, it being
thought that new man could not carry
on the work which has been started as
we'll as he could.

AN UNFORTUNATE POET.
He Unc'onscfousIy Bestovvu the Sui
ta4's Rich Gift Upon Beg
g0KU at HIS Door.

It was a common practice a century
ego to conceal the real value Of a pres
ent. A good story in illustration Of
this is told of Sir John Maynard, q
shining legal light of those days.
Two far mers had a grievance about
which the y were compelled to go to
law. One of them prepared basket
full of beautiful pippins and presented
them to the great lawyer. They were
graciously received, and Sir John, TAX
ing one of the apples, split it in two,
and found therein a golden sovereign.
They were golden pippins, indeed!
The retainer was all that could be
desired, and the lawyer engaged to de-
fend his client. Shortly after this there
came also to Sir John the other farm
er with 9 fine sucking pig. When this
was turned over It was found to be
stuffed with so sovereigns. The gift,
however, had to be refused, as the law
yer was already retained. z :
In striking contrast to this was the
action Of the famous Spanish poet,
Sid Iben Sark. This happened not so
many years ago. The poet was living in
Fec, and desiring to show his appreci-
alton Of the ruler Of the country, he
wrote q long poem extolling the vir-
tues of the sultan Of Morocco and sent
it to him. .. i. j. .,.s .ss....
The sui tan, Muley Hassan, was so
pleased with the act that he presented
the poet with gift Of four loaves of
black bread. Now, in Morocco, the
present OF loaf of black bread from
the sultan is one Of the highest honors
that can be conferred. The naughty
poet, however, would very likely have
appreciated q purse in which the gold
could be heard clinking, and he was SO
Schagrined that he gave the loaves away
to beggars who knocked at his door
for aims. IS
Judge of his modification when he
learned some days later that each loaf
had contained 100 ducats which the
sultan had ordered to be placed therein
before the baking. Verify, it would
have been wise to have accepted the
crumbs Of comfort, such as were OF
fered, with all Neutrality-suspicious.
