Tones Up the System.
THIS is VITAL.
Invslds Are Often Cured Of Some Definite
Disease. but the General System is
Weakened in the Process.

Common sense treatment demands that
the casting out of one evil does not in

one portion of the wall to repair another.
1t is at this point that the tonic effects
of Mason's Dyspepsia Tablets are remark
able.
They cure-that's the vital feature-cure

tions of the system to normal action.
They sustain-you can lean little on
| them-until you stand erect, and then you
| don't want any more OF Mason's Dyspepsia
| Cure. or any other remedy.
That's another point: When you have
done with Mason's Dyspepsia Cure you're
entirely done.
| You are not compelled to continue their
use TO maintain the good which they have
established.
The cure is cure, and that's the end
of it,
This is an important point.
| Look into it a little: 80 Tablets, 10c-
| suppose it takes three or four boxes to
| cure you
| Well, isn't an expenditure of Acc better
| than professional bill of-say $40?
It's a sensible proposition we make.
Look into it.
In addition to this remarkable Dyspepsia

Search for a Rare Plant.

AVALON, March II. E. R. Sturte-
want, an enthusiastic botanist, who
was the originator Of several forms of
our finest water lilies, has been on the
island for few days, in search Of a
rare and beautiful plant, which is in
digenous to this island. It is the
tree poppy, botanically known as Den
dromecon harfordi, and has a bright
goldan bloom, amost Identical with the
Eschscholtzia, or California poppy. This
Is the only genus Of the poppy family
which grows into a tree, though there
is on the mainland a small tree some
what similar, known as Dendromecon
ripidium. Mrs. Trask had written of
this rare and beautiful tree poppy in
the Land Of Sunshine, which coming
to the notice of wealthy gentleman
in England, he had written to Mr..
Sturtevant, commissioning him to pro-
cure a specimen and send to him. Mrs.
Trask went with Mr.. Sturtevant,
though it was an arduous days labor
INVOLVING row of five or six miles
UP the island and a climb Of several
more miles over the rugged hills and
canons of the island. Mr.. Sturtevant
describes Santa Catalina as being al
most a new world to the botanist be-
cause Of the many rare plants and
trees.
