VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form of Indiges-

ton.
Very few people are free from, some
form of indigestion, but scarcely two
will have the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eating,
bloating from gas in stomach and bowels,
others have heart burn or sour rislnos,
still others have palpitation of heart,
headaches, sleeplessness, pains in chest
and under shoulder blades, some have eN-
IRENE nervousness as in nervous dys-
pepsia.
But whatever the symptoms may be,
the causes in all cases of indigestion is
the same, that is, the stomach for some
reason fails to properly and promptly di-
gest whTt is eaten.
This is the whole story of stomach
troubles in nutshell. The stomach
must have rest and assistance, and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it both
by supplying those natural digestives
which every weak stomach lacks, owing
to the failure Of the peptic glands in the
stomach to secrete sufficient acid and
pepsin to thoroughly digest and assimi-
late the food eaten.
81 One grain Of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat. eggs or other whole
some food, and this claim has been.
proven by actual experiment which any
one can perform for himself in the fol-,
lowing manner: Cut hard boiled egg into
very small pieces. as t would be if mas
ticated, place the egg and two or three
of the tablets in a bottle or jar contain.
ing warm water heated to IS degrees
Uhe temperature of the body and keep
it at this temperature for three and one
half hours, at the end of which time the
osrcr will no as fol I'D +
would have been in the healthy stomach
of hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do to the egg in the bottle it will do, to
the egg or meat in the stomach, and
nothing else will rest and invigorate the
stomach so safely and effectually. Even
a little child can take Stuart's Tablets
with safety and benefit if Its digestion
is weak and the thousands of cures ac-
complished by their regular daily use
are easily explained when it is UNDER
stood that they are composed of vegeta-
BILE essences. aseptic pepsin. diastase and
Golden Seal. which mingle with the food
and digest it thoroughly, giving the
overworkeG stomach a chance, ito re-
cuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither
do pills and cathartc medicines, which
simply irritate and inflame the intes-
tines. -
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested there will be no consti-5
patton, nor in fact will there be disease
Of any kind, because good digestion
means good health in every organ.
The merits and success Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are! worldwide, and
they are sold at the moderate price Of
60 cents for full sized package in every:
drugstore In the United States and
Canada. as well as In Europe.

WEEKS. EVENTS.
A Summary orthe Actions in the Boer

a
War.
LONDON, Feb. 24.-Spencer Wilkinson,
summarizing the weeks events IN the
war in South Africa tonight, sad:
ION the night of Thursday, February
18TH. General Cronje marched out of
Ma gerstonten,N, between General French,
who had just entered Kimberley, and
General Ketly-Kenny, then at Kip Drift,
on the Modder River. The next day Cen
eral keily-kenny pursued him, attacked
hrs rear guard, and delayed him until the
Highland brigade was on its way to stop
him on the south bank OF the Modoer
and General French could pass HIM on
rhe north bank.
After three days running fight Gene
raj Cronje was stopped at koodoosrand,
PaardeberG, where he was surrounu-
ed His force was between the river
banks. which gave his a defensive posi-
ton fronting either way, 50 that attacks
on him involved heavy loss. but he was
held until on Tuesday Lord Roberts ar
ranged to grip him with a girdle OF IN
fantry in his position, while cannonadins
him with fifty guns enfiladinG the river
bed. In the meantime, Lord ROBERTS Win
spare division or two beyond the three
brgades holding Cronje, set himself TO
intercept and drive away any Boer rein
This was the situation on Wednesday
and It offered reasonable probability OF
the capture of Cronje's force and OF the
defeat of any reinforcements
1--WE have little news beyond Wednes-
day. On Thursday the Smelling OF CronJe
was continued at intervals, continuous
Smelling probably involving a too laNtsh
use of ammunition. Beers have been CIV
ing themselves up by fifties day. On
Tuesday Lord Roberts drove off reinforce
ments coming from Colesberg and from
Natal.
"a Berlin paper declares that CronJe
has forced his way through. inns Is I'M
probable, but may refer to snaii parry
who may have escaped In the night.
Lord Roberts advance has drawn away
some of the Boer forces from Colespers,
Sterkstroom and Natal. as is seen from
the diminished resistance of the BRUSH
at all those points.
General Butler, after taking lnhla"e
Hill. has crossed the Tugela river and ac-
cording to the latest kilograms. has been
fighting continuously since Ihursuav
morning. This looks like a decided at
tempt to relieve Ladysmith. wherein II IS
expected General Butler will succeed II ne
does not, as before, interrupt his advance
nv stopping to count his losses and declar-
ing that he has lost enough. a general
has never lost enough to justify giving up
his enterprise so long as his troops are
willing to so on with him. LadySmlen can
probably hold out. for SeVeral "eeNs
longer. and in that time the e1Iect Oh
lord Roberts advance will probably De
even more marked than it has yet oeeh.
