THE OLD w WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by Dieting a Dangerous and Useless One

We say the old way, but really 1t is a very common one at the present time, and many dyspepucs and physicians as well consider the first step to take in attempt ing to cure indigestion is to diet, either by selecting certain foods and rejecting others or to greatly diminish the quantity us- ually taken, in other words the starvation plan is supposed by many to be the first essential.
 The almost certain failure of the starva- tion cure has been proven time and again but still the moment dyspepsia makes its appearance a course of dieting is at once advised.
 All this is radically wrong. It is foolish and unscientific to recommend dieting to Q man suffering from dyspepsia, because indi- gestion itself starves every organ, every nerve and every fibre in the body.
 What the dyspeptic wants is abundant nutrition, which means plenty of good wholesome, well-coolsed food. and some thing to assist the weak stomach to di- gest it. This is exactly the purpose foI which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adopted and this is the method by which they cure the worse cases of dyspepsia, in other words the patient eats plenty oi wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for him. In this way the system is nourished and the overworked stomach rested, because the tablets vii digest the food whether the stomach works or not. One of these tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
 Your druggist will tell you that Stuart: Tablets is the purest and safest remedy fol stomach troubles and every trial makes one more friend for this excellent prepar ation. Sold at 50 cents for full sized pack. age at all drug stores.

TOOK THIRTY-FIvE SECONDS
Only for Maher to Knock Out Mike
 Morrissey.

New York, June 20.-Peter Maher, the Irish heavy weight pugilist, scored quick victory over his fellow-countryman, Mike Morrissey, of Tipperary, before the Lenox Athletic club tonight Morrissey had been heralded as an invincible cyclone.
 Maher sized his man up quickly and went for him straight away. There was appar- entity no fight in the new conner. A light punch the breast and right across to the jaw were the only blows that were struck and these were delivered by Maher. The-blow that Maher landed on the jaw was sufficient to knock out any man Maher weighed IA and looked fit and well. Mike Morrissey had a retinue of handlers when he reached the ring side, and said he weighed 1S2. The moment the men shaped it was clearly evident that Morrssey was afraid and Maher had the easiest kind of task ever given him. Both fiddled for few minutes and then Maher went to his man with light left lead, which landed lightly on the chest and sent his right over to the jaw Morrissey fell in a neutral cor ner, and lay there resting on his right el- bow while Maher strutted about the ring until the referee counted out ten seconds. Maher then walked to his corner, and the master of ceremonies announced that Ma her had won, and that the time of the bout was thirty-1ive seconds.
