CArARRH OF THE STOMACH.

A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eject
ual Cure for 1t.
| Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
| panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
| pressure on the heart and lungs. and
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and If the inte-
rior of the stomach could be seen it
would show Shiny, inhamed condi-
ton.
ate trouble is found in a treatment
| which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap
peared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux.
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being q
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr. N J. Booher of 271O Dearborn
St, Chicago, ILL.,, writes: ''Catarrh is
local condition resulting from a neg
lected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
infamed and the poisonous discharge
therefromr passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Med
ical authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh Of stomach
without cure, but to-day I am the hap
piest of men, after using only one box

my good feeling. I have found flesn,

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-
est preparation as well as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any
form of indigestion, catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.

which confronted him. In the southern
part of the state were interests which
demanded the consideration Of man
who knew them He thought the south
land was entitled to a representative to
fill the position which had been SO ably
filed by the Hon. Stephen M. White.
He thought the man who would best
subserve the interests of the south and
of the whole State was Ulysses S. Grant
of San Diego. and he took pleasure in
seconding his nomination.
Senator Bettman seconded the NOM
ination Of D. NJ. Burns.
Senator Leavitt seconded the nomin-
alton of D. M. Burns, whom he desig-
mated as the truest friend a. man ever
had.
Senator Doty Democracy seconded the
nomination Of Stephen M. White. He
said he believed if the candidates could
be- taken before the people, Senator
White would prove to be mighty fac
tor In the election.
Senator Cutter said he had on four
occasions seconded the nomination Of a
man for the United States Senate, and
every one Of them had been elected
He felt no hesitancy in saying that
Ulysses S. Grant, whose nomination he
desired to second, would also be elect
ed. 1t had been asserted, he said, that
Mr. Grant was "only the son of his
father" Even were that true, 1t would
rebound to the credit Of the State to
honor the name. But it was not true,
he said. Grant was a man who knew
the State and its interests, and would
work intelligently and earnestly to pro-
mote them.
Then a broad silence settled over the
chamber, and it was evident that the
speechmaking for the day was at an
end. Braunhart moved that nominal
tons close, and that the Senate pro-
coed to ballot, and it was so ordered.
BULLA DECLINES TO VOTE.

not only the best educated, but al
so the handsomest collection of
dogs and ponies ever seen. The
entire continent has been thorough
ly gone over with fine tooth comb
in search of members for this

and the result is that Prof. Gentry
now enjoys the distinction of pos
sessing two hundred of the most
superb specimens of their various

They are to exhibit their beauty
and talents in this city under a
thoroughly waterproof tent Thurs

This exhibition is easily the best

thoroughly worth attending. The
prices of admission are: children
