THE WHOLE SECRET.
OF the RennrIabIc Success Uf n iSem-
edy for Indigestion and stomach
Troubles

4 new remedy which may revolutionize
the treatment OF stomach troubles has been
placed before the public and bears the en-
dorsement OF many leading physicians and
scientific men.
This preparation is not a wonderful dis
covery nor vet q secret patent medicine
neither is it claimed TO cure anything ex-
cept dyspepsia. Indigestion. and stomach
troubles, with which nine-tenths OF our
nation are more or less affected.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lOzeuges containing veg
etable and fruit essences. pure aseptic pep
sin Gree from animal impuritiesl. Golden
Seal, and diastase. They are sold by drug
Sists under the name OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Many interesting experiments made With
these tablets show that they possess re-
markable digestive power. one grain OF the
active principle in one Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets being sufficient to thor
oughly digest 5000 grains OF lean meat,
eggs, oatmeal or similar wholesome food.
Stuarts Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after-dinncr pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and in
flame the iDtestines without having any
eneet whatever in curing indigestion.
II the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work Of digestion it will very
gan is so much abused and overworked
as the stomach. This is the secret. and the
whole secret. of the remarkable success of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy prac-
tically unknown few years ago and now
the most popular. safest, aud most widely
sold Of any treatment for stomach weak
ness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon its merit as a digestive, pure and sim
pie; because there can be nc stomach trou-
ble IL the food IS promptly digested.
Stuart's Dysv epsia Tablets act entirely
upon the food eaten, digesting it cOA-
pletely. so thai il can be assimilated into
blood nerve. and tissue.
Every drop OF blood. every bone. nerve.
and tissue in TIE body can be renewed in
but one way. ard that is from wholesome
food properly digested There is no other
way. ana hs idea that a medicine in itself
can parity the blood or supply new tissues
and strong nerses is ridiculous and on a
par with the fal-de-rOl that dyspepsia is a
germ disease, or that other fallacy. that a
weak stomach which refuses to digest food
can be made % do so by irritating and in
flaming the bowels by pills and cathartics
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dyspep-
sia, water -brash sour stomach. catarrh of
the stomach. gas, and bloating after meals
because they furnish the digestive power.
which is the one thing that weak stomachs
lack. and unless that lack is supplied it is
useless to attempt TO assist il by the use of
tones" pills. and cathartics. which
have absolutely no digestive power and do
not claim to have any.
The regular use of one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after meals. will demon
strate their merit and efficiency better than
any other argument
They are sold by druggists everywhere
and little booklet on cause and cure of
stomach troubles will be mailed free by

Chinese Who Refuse to Believe That
Japan Defeated Them.
The ignorance I'm which the Chinese
government keeps Its people In respect
to its International relations Is demon
strated by letter written by Joseph
Walton, n member OF the British par
lament. who has Just returned to Lon
don from tour in China. Japan, Ko-
rea, Indo-China and India Mr.. Wal
ton says that In one OF the most dense
ly populated provinces OF the Celestial
empire the war with Japan has not
been heard of. and the Inhabitants re-
fuse to believe that their country has
ever been defeated. Mr.. Walton's let
ter In part Is as follows:
81 Travelled 1,6O0 miles up the Yang
tse to Sbun-king. For the first 1000
miles l went up by steamer and then
by Chinese houseboat up the rapids
and gorges OF the Yang-tse, only &C
complishing 20 miles In nine days.
Then l was met by Mr.. Archibald Lit
ties launch. In which. In the same
period. travelled $50 miles. The last
400 miles was through Szechuen, the
objective Of the British Burma and up
per Yang-tse railway. On both sides
OF the river, which at Shrinking I
found TO be three-quarters of a mile
wide at low water, the country was
cultivated like garden.
81 saw thousands and thousands of
commodious homesteads surrounded
by clumps OF bamboo and orange trees,
with patches OF ground OF the richest
n tod rx-Ifh
and producing two and three crops of
opium, tobacco, indigo. sugar cane. etc.
1t was new world. whose people had
never heard OF the war with Japan and
who refused to believe that China had
ever been beaten by that country. It
was land OF peace. plenty and civilI-
zatioD. walked scores OF mixes
through farms, villages and towns. and
was everywhere treated with courtesy
and civility.
AT every place we touched the popu-
lation turned out en- masse to see our
little putting launch forging its way up
against tho current. this being only the
second time that this part of the river
had been so navigated. I afterward
came down the rapids In the launch-it
was the first time they bad been shot
by neutrality-suspicious. the jour-
ney OF 457 miles from Shrinking to
i-chang In 81 hours of steamIng. Over
and over again the little craft was
practically buried in the seething rap
ids. The possibilities of trade In this
region are so vast that they can scarce
ly be estimated. On the upper Yang
tse alone there are 5000 trading
5unks, each manned by some 100 men,
making a total OF 5000 persons en-
gagged In the carrying trade-fearless
men OF fine physique"

The introduction OF rifled arms alter

GERS who had been brought ND In the

i must not he mistaken about drill.
Drill is m essential part OF discipline.
IT makes the soldier understand how TO
obey the word OF command. but there
Is this difference between the drill of
the past and the present Formerly
the idea was TO make the men act in
a compact body under the Immediate
command OF the commanding officer.
and musketry was looked upon merely
as minor sort OF adjunct. Nowadays
TO keep regiment In close formation

Of the house at 63 Prince street the
old residence OF President Monroe
when he retired from the White House
after his eight years OF service as pres
ident. He died there on July 4. 1881.
"Tne house is just block east Of
Broadway and looks much the same as
II did when 1t was the residence Of
President Monroe. only more dilapidat-
ed One still sees the colonial columns
and huted arch over the doorway, look

that few years ago 1t was a billiard
