THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID
DYSPEPSIA OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Seri-
Gus Disease.

Now Recognized as a Cause of Seri-
Gus Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is a form of indi-
gestion resulting from fermentation of the
food. The stomach being too weak to di-
gest it, the food remains until fermenta-
tion begins. filling the stomach with gas,
and a bitter, sour burning taste in the
mouth is often present This condition
soon becomes chronic and being an every
day occurrence is given but little atten-
ton. Because dyspepsia is not imme-
diately fatal, many people do nothing for
the trouble
Within a recent period remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspep-
sia and stomach troubles. 1t is known as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is becoming
rapidly used and prescribed as radical
cure for every form of dyspepsia
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
all druggists for so cents per package. 1t
is prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co.. Mar
shall, Mich, and while it promptly and
effectually restores vigorous digestion,
at the same time is perfectly harmless and
will not injure the most delicate stomach,
but on the contrary by giving perfect di-
gestion strengthens the stomach. improves
the appetite and makes life worth living.

vid G. Porter, of Waterbury, a retired
farmer, wealthy. a graduate Of Yale and
one of the compilers of the Waterbury
History. stirred up the legislative commit
tee on agriculture at Hartford yesterday.
by attacking the Storrs Agricultural
School.
He called it "a leceh on the finances of
the State and declared it was using the
Federal appropriations in manner so
bold to involve the State in the greatest
scandal if the real facts ever became
known" as-t
He showed how the Government of the
United States appropriated nearly $4,000
for an actual enrolment of 100 pupils,
neighbors of the institution, and that only
one in seven graduated. He showed the
way in which the money was spent by the
statement that the librarian of the 5000
volumes at the school received more salary
than the State librarian or the Yale libra
rian. a-t
The attack was prompted by a report
of the committee on the cutting down of
State expenses, which had no mention of
the Storrs School, said to be the greatest
leak Of the lot, o.
