"A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is
indigestion or i'll it's chronic form, dys-
pepsia, and for the very reason that it
is SO common many people neglect TAX
ing proper treatment for what they con-
slider trifling stomach trouble, when as
a matter of fact indigestion lays the
foundation for many incurable diseases
No person with & vigorous, healthy
stomach will fall a victim to consump-
ton. Many kidney diseases and heart
troubles date their beginning from poor
digestion; thin, nervous people are really
so because their stomachs are out OF
gear: weary, languid, faded out women
owe their condition to imperfect diges-
ton.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion it is not
surprising that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims to be a
cure for dyspepsia, as we'll as score OF
other troubles, when in fact, as DR.. Wer-
ther says, there is but one genuine dys-
pepsia cure which is perfectly safe and
reliable, and moreover this remedy is
not a patent medicine, but it is a scien-
tific combination of pure pepsin free
from animal matter), vegetable essences,
fruit salts and bismuth. 1t is sold by
rduggistS under name of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets. No eXtravagant claims are
made for them, but for Indigestion or
druggists under name of Stuart's Dyspep-
Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet
discovered. They act on the food eaten
no dieting is necessary, simply eat ali
the wholesome food you want and these
tablets will digest it. cure results
because all the stomach needs is a rest
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by
doing the work of digestion.

In civilized countries the Jewish

kitchens the delcacies commence, the
hill of fare of the Jewish kitchen has
already come to an end. Prohibited is

is well known, excluded altogether

found ritually correct must be treated
so as to remove every particle of blood.
The eating of blood, no matter in what
form, is an "abomination.
The meat being ready for kitchen,
then the real difficulties begin. For
cooking or roasting of meat, vegeta-
bes and other condiments with the
meat neither butter nor milk nor

laid before the exchange by Clement Nlco-

was to grade Liverpool good middling,
which is about the same as American strict
middling. The contract was made before
the big advance in cotton and the sample
which the Texas concern sent to tn,
Italians were excellent,
Between the samples and the stun re-
ceivod by the italians, however, there was
a wide difference Tho first 200 bales
which were shipped through New Orleans
were low grade and the other 400 bales are
said to have been worse, The drafts
which were paid by the Italians, were
based on the excellent quality of cotton TO
which the firms had contracted.
