cATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant. Simple, but Safe and Ef-
fectuai Cure for Ii.

Catarrh Of stomach has long been con-
sidered the next thing to incurable. The
usual symptoms are a full or bIoattng
sensation after eating. accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings, a for
nation Of gases, causing pressure on the
heart and lungs and difficult brea thing;
headaches, tickle appetite. nervousness
and general played out. Ianguid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and If the interior of the
stomach could be seen IT would show
Shiny, infiamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
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 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 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 drugstores under the name Of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a
patent medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy appe-
tite and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. y. J. Booher of Z710 Dearborn st
Chicago, Ill, writes: "Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes fnfamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat reaches
the stomach, thus producing ca
tarrfl OF the stomach. Medical au-
thorities prescribed for me for three
wears for catarrh of the stomach without
cure, but to-day am the happiest of men
after using only one box Of stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. I cannot find appropriate
words TO 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
indigestion, catarrh of the stomach, bill
iousness, sour stomach, heartburn and
b1oatfng after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall. Mich The tablets can be
found at all drugstores.

French business houses. One morning,

The salesman looked at this seriously
and the cashier said they had no change.
It was too early in the morning to have
any change. he said. From the way he
looked at me | could see he thought
people had no business to be abroad at
that hour buying books anyway. ex-
pressed in polite terms my regret at
giving trouble. and also inquired if they

if it would be possible to change the
note somewhere.

THE keynote is struck with the de-
votional spirit of the age. The chief in
command is to take care that all the
officers and companies of the ships
worship God twice day. Swearing,
drunkenness, robbery, sleeping on watch
and the like were to be punished &C.
cording to the order and custom of the
sea. Punishments were brutally severe
in those times. They marooned-t that is.
they set man ashore alone on DESC
late coast or island and left him to
starve. to be destroyed by savages or
wild beasts
'.They keel hauled-that is, thew
dragged man naked by yard arm
whips under the bottom of ship, and
drew him up raw and bloody with the
harsh wounding of barnacles and spike
like adherences, only to be submerged
afresh ere the unhappy miscreant could
fetch full breath They nailed a man
to, the mainmast by driving a knife
through his hand. For murder (that
was often manslaughter) they tied the
living to the dead, back to back. and
threw them overheard. -
