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

The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Every living thing plant or animal, con-
tains within itself the germs of certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs of death
(called by scientists Ptomaines), are usually
the result of imperfect digestion of food;
the result of indigestion or dyspepsia.
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 kidneys, caus-
ing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal, and weak d.
gestion shows itself not only in loss of APP
petite and flesh, but in weak nerves and
muddy complexion.
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 lack the proper quantity
of digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric)
and peptogenic products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of Indigestion, is to take
after each meal one or two of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets, because they supply in
pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomach lack.
ahe regular use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eyes and clear COM
plexion, because all these result from
wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets at so cents full sized package

The names of the negroes were unknown

from East Lake. A knock at the door
failed to bring any response, and the off,
GERS, believing that the negroes were inside,
forced the lock and were brought face to
face with four of the negroes, who were
placed under arrest. Marion Wood, who
was wounded in the arm, was lying on a
bed, while his companions, Felix Ward,
Will Wood and Sam Johnson, were seated
around the fire. The negroes admitted that
they were in the party, but refused to give
the names of the two missing members.
They were handcuffed and taken back to

Woods Arm Broken
DR.. Hawkins, assistant county physician,
attended the wounded negro at the jail and
found that his arm had been broken by the
bullet just above the wrist. The bullet
lodged in the flesh and it was decided to
wait until this morning to extract it.
Marion Woods was seen by an Age-Her-
aid reporter shortly after being placed in
jail, and denied that the attack on the con-
ductor had been premeditated. He stated
that he got on the car down town and had
no idea that the other negroes were in the
city until they got on the car at Twenty
seventh street. He explained the presence
of the light artillery by saying that they
just brought their guns along with no par
ticular purpose. He claims that Conductor
Brooks fired the first shot.
All of the negroes live in the neighbour
hood where they were arrested and claim
to work at North Birmingham.
warrants were at once sworn out against
them, and an effort will be made to catch
the other two.

are congratulating themselves on their mar

bullets had been sent into the car. which
served as block house for the plucky train-

sheriff's posse, and the charge of assault
with intent to murder docketed against
them.

had his eyes open, and as quick as flash

negroes rushed to Woods support and sent
a fusillade of lead at Brooks, who took ref

Miraculous to state, both men escaped in

was perforated by the bullets. Conductor
