CATARRH OF THE STOMACH,
A Pleasant, Simple but Safe and
Effectual Cure for It.

Catarrh Of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompan-
led with sour or watery riSingS, a for
nation of gases causing a pressure on
the heart and lungs, and difficult
breathing; headaches, tickle appetite.
nervousness and a general played out
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste i'm the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen IL
would show a Shiny, in1amed condi-
tion.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily
thoroughly digested before il has time
to ferment 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 catar-
rhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the
latest and best treatment is to use
afser each meal a tablet, composed of
Diastase, Aseptic, Pepsin. a little Nux.
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tab
let's can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys.
pesia Tablets and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite will follow their regular use
after meals.
Mr.. n. j. Booher, of 271O Dearborn
ST., Chicago, ILL.,, says "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from a neglect
ed cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose becomes in
famed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi-
cal authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh OF the stomach
without cure, but today / am the han
piest of men after using only one box

tite and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest as well as the simplest and most
convenient remedy for any form of in
digestion, catarrh of the stomach, bill

bloating after meals.

Who will ever forget the love story
or roguish and wilful Bella Wilfer and
how she shook the golden dust of the
Golden Dustman's house from her lit
tie sandals and welded John Roke-
smith? They hled them down to the
water side. and there in a little cot
tage lived through the honeymoon. One
OF the daintiest touches in the whole
story Is the way in which Bella tells
her husband of the coming ship. She
has told John she has something serious
to speak about, and woman-like talks
OF everything else before the one thing
burdening her heart and twists and
turns a button of his coat shyly, while
she struggles with her secret.
And now we've got to the bottom
of it at last" said her husband, "and
this is the thing that made you SER

button and shaking her head, "it wasn't {

In old times, in the days of President
Washington and President jefferson,
the newspapers were much more abus-
i've, turbulent and intoIerant of opinion
than now. We have long known this
having read years g much that was
said during Washington's term and
abusive of that noble, masterful man
and patriot. Mr.. Jefferson was a great
political genius, and he had as great a
distrust of the judiciary in the early
days of the Republic as wise men now,
who are close students of history and
observers Of passing events, are dis
trustful of it. 1t is a dangerous power
and to be very closely watched. JEFF
Persons administration was severely
handled by TIE Federalist writers. So
low had the public press fallen. as the
great Jefferson thought, that he often
referred in his letters to its defamation
and ISLANDERS of his own administration.
