Concerning a Method Of Curing Dyspep-
STA aud stomach Troubles.

Dyspepsia and indigestion are consld-
cred incurable by many people who do
not realize the advance made In modern
medical science, and because by the old
methods and remedies cure was
rarely, II ever obtained
Dyspepsia is now cured as readily as
any other disease.
What the dyspeptlc wants Is abund-
ant nutrition, which means plenty Of
good wholesome well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest IL. This Is exactly the pur-
pose Tor which Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are adapted and this Is the
method by which they cure the worst
cases Of Dyspepsia. In other words the
patient eats plenty of wholesome food
and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets digest
It for him. In this way the system Is
nourished and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digOtt
the food whether the stomach works or
rested, because the tablets viii digest
5000 grains Of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets Is a remedy
sold on its merits and Is the purest,
safest and cheapest remedy sold ftr
stomach troubles.and every trial max IS
one more friend for the excellent prep
aration.

II Annoying Statement Of
hIr. Fischer.

Chicago, June 1.-THE Record says:
Messrs. Fischer, Vessels and VOL
marens. ENJOYS Of the South African
Republics, say that since they started
on their mission they have been under
constant surveillance by detectives and
secret service agents Of the British gov
eminent. They assert that from the
time OF their departure from Pretoria
on shipboard, In the cities where they
have stopped on railroad trains and in
hotels they have been followed by men
whose object is to keep close watch and
report as TO their movements and con-
versations.
The delegates admit being embar-
raised by the espionage, but assert that
they have no fear Of its harming their
cause because they insist that they
have nothing TO conceal. that their mis-
sion is just what IL appears to be-a
tour for the purpose OF telling the true
story Of the struggle In the Transvaal.
In discussing the matter Abraham
Fischer, chairman OF the delegation,
said:
yes, II is true that we are tracked
wherever we go, by men who have at
tempted TO pry into our private CONVEX
sations. We have noticed such men
eayesdropping when we have talked
with newspaper men In various cities,
and there Is no place where we have
been entirely free from this sort Of
surveillance. We FIRST noticed this
spying on shlpboard and have since
been made cognigant Of Il az every
place We went. While we cannot put
our hands on any particular man and
give his name. we are satisfied that the
condition exists.
"Eavesdroppers would not follow us
for the mere pleasure OF the thing or as
a means Of passing away the time, and
so We conclude that some one wishes
to know Of our movements TO the min
utest detail. or course II makes no
difference to us. as we have nothing TO
conceal II is just an annoyance"
