PECULIAR P0lS0NS
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of the Imperfect Digestion
of Food

The Result of the Imperfect Digestion
of Food
Every living thing, plant or
animal, contains within itself the
germs of certain decay and death.
In the human body these germs
of death Called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the re-
suit of imperfect digestion of food;
the result of indigestion or dys-
pepsia.
The stomach, from abuse,
weakens, does not promptly and
thoroughly digest the food. The
result is a heavy, sodden mass
which ferments (the first process
OF decay poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak and lacking
in red corpuscles; poisoning the
brain causing headaches, pain In
the eyes.
bad digestion weakens the
heart, causing palpitation and
finally bringing on disease of this
very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kid
neyS, causing brights disease and
diabetes.
And this is so because every
organ, every nerve depends upon
the stomach alone for nourish-
ment and renewal, and weak di-
gestion shows itself not only IN
loss of appetite and flesh, but in
weak nerves and muddy complex
ion.
The great English scientist,
Huxley, said the best start IN
life is a sound stomach. Weak
stomachs fail to digest food prop
erly, because they lac ok the proper
quantity of digestive acids Cactlc
and hydrochlorlc) and peptogenlc
products; the most sensible RENE
dy in all cases of Indigestion, is to
take after each meal one or two
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, be-
cause they supply in pleasant,
harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets Will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, bright eye
and clear complexion, because all
these result only from wholesome
food we'll digested.

b. L. Hull moved that the SUI
perintendent's salary be kept at

that he had talked with the rep
resentative men of his district
and had received a number of
letters on the subject, and only
one thought that the salary
should be lowered. That several
thought it should be reduced,
provided all other salaries, from
the governors down, could be re-
duced, but the cut should not be
made on the superintendent
alone, while he was already get

Mr.. Moser moved that the. sal
airy be reduced $3.50 per annum,
stating that he had talked with
great many men in his district
and had not found a single man
but what thought 1t should be re-
duced. He said that one man
whose taxes are $1,000 year
thought the work should be done
for $50 per month.
Mr.. Smith stated that he had
talked with the representative
men of his district and especially
the taxpayers, and also the men
from both Mr.. Huli'S and Mr..
Moser's districts, and had not
found one who thought the SAL
airy should be lowered, and there
fore he would have to vote with
Mr.. Hull. Mr.. Smith then de-
clared the superintendent sal

Mr.. John Parker, supervisor O:

Messrs. S. Benjamin and j. G..

the county would extend the term
of the Ocala, Mcintosh and An

towns would pay for one month,
and the teachers of Ocala had
agreed to teach one month free.
The question was discussed, and
on motion was deferred, for &C

The patrons OF Eaton Creek

had to close on account of sick

NJ mother was subject to sick head

She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in a dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach

food she did eat. She also had severe

I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles Of Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best

the county's funds than is given
to the poor schools; therefore he
would move that no school in the
county be allowed to continue
with county funds longer than
the five months already granted.
Mr. Moser said that he thought
the schools at Ocala and McIn-
tosh and other high schools, ex-
pecting to graduate certain
scholars, should be allowed the
full term of eight months to
complete the course. Therefore
he would move: That any
school in the county desiring a
term Of eight months, if the pa
irons OR teachers would run such
a school two extra months and
keep all their teachers employed,
that the county would pay for
one month, making three addi-
biULdl LIlOuUuS.
Mr.. Hull stated he could not
agree to such a motion, that
more than half the schools in the
county were already closed and
teachers gone, and 1T would be
almost impossible for those
schools to receive any benefit
from such a motion. After con-
siderable discussion on both sides,
Mr.. II. K. Smith, chairman,
stated that as any advanced
scholar from any part of the
county would be allowed to at
tend any of these high school,
that he thought it would benefit
the whole county; therefore he
woule have to vote with Mr..
Moser, and declared Mir. Moser's
motion carried.
