An Old Theory
Exploded
Food not Digested in the
Stomach.
This Organ only Prepares it fer Assi1i-
lation BY the sntcs.iues.

Until a few months ago the medical
profession, as well as the public at large,
have always believed that food was
digestcd in the stomach; but thanks to
aciencc, they are now enabled TO follow
the whole process of digestion with their
own eyes from the moment food enters
the mouth until it is taken into the sys-
tenn, or carried of through tie bowels.
Heretofore all remedies for the cure Of
dyspepsia have been given with the idea
of assisting the stomach to digest food,
and the discovery that this organ docs
not digest it at all explains the cause Of
their failure to cure the disease, and its
constant increase i'll spite of the thou
sand and one remedies used. Another
and equally important discovery was
also made that there are three distinct
kinds of dyspepsia, two of which require
different remedies, and the remedy for
one must be exactly opposite 20 that
of the other in character. For in
stance acid dyspepsia requires an aka
line treatment indigestion an acid
treatment ; these combined and given
in one dose neutralize each other, coll
sequently, cannot be given together with
effect. The third and most dangerous
OF all, intestinal dyspepsia requires
pernlicide which must be harmless, and
yet strong enough to destroy the bacilli
which cause the disease. Understand
ing this and knowing THAT they possess
tine only germicide which can be taken
internally without injury, Hyomei)
the R. I. Booth Company have placed
on the market 4 dyspepsia cure, and
the only one made which treats every
phase Of the disease separately. That
il has been 4 success is shown ~ the fact
that they guarantee il 4; some
thing never done before. eld
a3ree 10 return the money if cure il
not effected. Send symptoms and re-
ceive free treatment.

The editor of the AroOstOok Republi-
can thus gracefully makes amends fol
a blunder and at the same time gives
advertisers 4 pointer. He says: Very
often in soliciting advertising we are
met with the reply that the people
don't read anything but the locals
We have very good reasons to believe
the contrary, however. In a recen,
issue we. by some oversight. happened
to use as a filler in 4 remote corner
of our paper a small piece of plate
matter, the subject of which was
Likely to BE a Close Race and which
referred to the then coming struggle
between the Columbia and Shamrock
The next day our friends met us with
broIl smiles and congratulated us OF
being so thoroughly up-to-date CD etc
While so many congratulations rather
embarrassed us, still we are not sorry
it happened. for we are now more fully
convinced than ever that our readers
read something more than the locals.

Mr. Griggs on Peace.
From the New York World 7

Mr.. Griggs's address to the graduating
class of the Yale Law school is in the main
an admirable example of sane and sensible
optimism. He does not assume that the
human race is degenerating because il is
not yet perfect. But by comparing TODAY
with yesterday he shows that TODAY is bet-
Ter than yesterday, and ventures the rea-
sonable hope that tomorrow will be better
in turn than today.
But Mr.. Griggs permits himself 70 90
zoo iar when he implies that all pessimism.
all criticism, is absurd and Destructive.
Inc only reason why today is better than
yesterday is that the ''foreyer unsatisfied -
forever critical spirit of progress has re-
FUSED TO permit humanity to sink into the
aeashlike slumber of self completeness
Anc when Mr.. Griggs goes on to declare
that the lawyer should be a peacemaker''
he may excuse himself to himself for his
own inertia and sloth as the LAWYER for the
people of the United states. b1t he does
not convince his readers.
Unfortunately right is not rescued from
t .he scatiold or wrong displaced from the
throne by peaceful, slumbrous, compro-
missing methods. And courts of iustice
are not establishments for indulgence in
iotus eating, but arenas of combat where
Justlce and injustice are ever fiercely con-
testing for possession of the human race.

JOHN BARRETT AT MONTPELIER.
He Brought Messages from Admiral
Dewey 90 the Dewey Families In the
CnnlfnI DIV.

He Brought Messages from Admiral
Dewey 90 the Dewey Families In the
Capitol city.
John Barrett, ex-minister to Siam, ar
rived in Montpelier Thursday evening from
Hanover, where he had been attending
commencement exercises at Dartmouth
college, his alma mater. Mr.. Barrett came
to Montpelier to bring messages of per-
sonal and private nature from Admiral
Dewey to his brothers, Charles and Ed
ward Dewey, and to Mrs. Mary p, Greeley,
his sister These he delivered Friday and
went to Barre to visit G. s. Currier, an old
classmate. He left the city Friday night
for New York.
Mr.. Barrett brought to the relatives of
Admiral Dewey very assuring news in re-
gard to the health of the Admiral. Some
time after the battle of Manila Mr.. Bar
rett was with the Admiral on the Olympia
and his admiration for and confidence in
him is unbounded. He freely express
ed the belief that had any man but AID
miral Dewey been in command there dur
ing the last summer and fall the United
States would by this time have had more
than one war on its hands. A trained
diplomat himself, Mr.. Barrett recognizes
and loves to speak of the rare diplomacy
with which ever recurring difficulties have
been met aud peacefully surmounted by
the Admiral since May l, 1898
Mr.. Barrett laughingly referred to the
recent speech delivered by him before the
Home Market club in Boston at which Ed
ward Atkinson was present and took CO.
pious notes. Within 4S hours after that
speech Mr.. Barrett received over 200 tele-
grams from every part of the country,
even from as far west as San Francisco,
congratulating him on his utterances on
that occasion.
One was from President Mckinley and
they collectively represented every phase
and condition of business life. These tel
egrams Mr.. Barrett cherishes among his
greatest treasures.
Mr.. Barrett is an expansionist of the
stalwart kind and on this theme he is very
entertaining, He has no patience with
men who say the flag should ever be haul
ed down in the Philippines, or that this
country should take a backward step in
that part of her possessions. In his opin-
ion, should we now recede, not only would
we lose all we have gained there at such
cost, but the prestige we have acquired
among other nations of the world would
vanish.
During his several months stay on the
Olympia Mr.. Barrett learned to know AID
miral Dewey thoroughly and was accorded
much consideration from him.
