There are Thousands Of Them who Be-
lieve as this Woman does.
Mrs. Ira Knowlton, of Butte, Montana,
is a most enthusiastic convert to the vir-
tues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as
cure for obstinate stomach trouble. She
saws: 81 had poor digestion nearly all
my life. 1t now seems to me that for
years l never knew what it was to be
hungry, to have a good natural appetite.
l was troubled with gas in stomach
causing pressure on the heart with pal
pitation and short breath. Nearly every
thing / ate soured on my stomach, some
times | had cramps in the stomach which
almost resembled spasms.
Doctors told me l had catarrh of the
stomach, but their medicines would not
reach it and l would still be a sufferer
had / not in sheer desperation, decided
to try Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
| knew they were an advertised remedy
and l didn't believe anything | read
about them, as l had no confidence in ad-
vertised remedies, but my sister living
in Pittsburg wrote me last spring telling
me how Stuart's Tablets had cured her
and her little daughters of Indigestion
and loss of flesh and appetite and l hes
itated no longer
| bought fifty cent box at my drug
store and took two of the large tablets
after each meal and found them delight
full to take, being as pleasant to the taste
as caramel candy. Whenever during the
day or night l felt any pain or uneasi-
ness in the stomach or about the heart
took one of the small tablets and in three
weeks it seemed to me as if / had never
known what stomach trouble was
l keep Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in
the house and every member of our fam
lily uses them occasionally after a hearty
meal or when any of us have a pain or
ache in the digestive organs"
Mr.. E. H. Davis, of Hampton, Va,
says: 81 doctored five years for dyspepsia,
but in two months l got more benefit from
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets than in five
years of the doctors treatment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
as we'll as the simplest and most con-
venient remedy for any form of indiges-
tion, catarrh of stomach, billiousness,
sour stomach bloating after meals, SYM
pathetic heart trouble.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not
cheap cathartic but an active digestive
remedy containing the pepsin and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks and
they cure stomach troubles because they
digest the food eaten and give the weak
abused over-worked stomach a chance
to rest and recuperate.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold in
every drug store in the United States,
Canada and Great Britain.

The location is an admirable one, in a
beautiful grove of trees, with large
grounds ard al the advantages of the
both country and city.
The building, which was put up by
Messrs. Zachary & Zachary, is a beauti-
ful piece of architecture, and splendidly
adapted to the uses for which it is in
tended. Everything about it is first
class and up-to-date. The management
was determined that there should be
nothing cheap about the structure from
beginning TO end, and there is not. All
who have visited it unite in praising both
the beauty of the building and its emf
nent fitness for an orphanage. Superin-
tendent jenkins has had personal super
vision of the work from the beginning
and has seen to all of the details with
tireless energy, and the result shows it..
When we consider how comparatively
small was the sum of money at his dis
posal, we are better able to appreciate
known fact that the builders contributed
largely to the charity by exceeding their
limitations in the work, and this ac
counts for the splendid work on the
building, which could not otherwise have
been obtained for the money at hand.
The expectation of the management is
to open the orphanage to children about
the fifteenth of this month, and there is no
To this h6 done
This building will be for girls only.
Plans have been received and are now
under consideration for another building
to be erected for boys, and the contract
will be let as soon as a decision on the
plans is reached. The present building
can accommodate from twenty-five to
thirty girls, and possibly more.
1t has been estimated that sixty dol
lars a year constitute the necessary ex
pense for each child in the orphanage.
Thus the endowment necessary for the
twenty five girls would be twenty five
thousand dollars, which, invested at six
per cent, would give sixty dollars year
each. Already Captain John d. Bullock,
of Rocky Mount, and Mr.. Sidney McMul-
len. of Hertford, have promised one thou
sand dollars each, and three Sunday
same amount each, and it is hoped that
the whole endowment-fund will be reach
ed very soon. The plan for raising
money to keep up the running expenses
of the institution is a very simple one.
1t is for each contributor to give five
dollars a year for five years. This Gre
ates regular yearly income that may
be depended upon. and one that will
grow larger and larger as time goes on.
Already subscriptions for this fund have
been made in great number, and are COM
ing in fast all the time.
The instruction given will be in charge
of competent teachers, and will be of
most practical nature, consisting of the
rudiments of an English education and
practical instruction in industrial branch
es of various kinds, SO that when a girl
leaves the orphanage, she will be equipped
to make her own living from the very
start by some kind of skilled work.
