years with kidney trouble and nervous
disorders, has tried doctor after doctor
without benefit, and finally tries Peruna
and receives a permanent cure, such a
man ought to recommend Peruna. He
certainly would be a curious individual If
he did not do so.
Yet the fear of notoriety and the preju-
dice against proprietary remedies keep
many men from recommending Peruna,
even when they have been practically
snatched from the grave by using it. Yet
in spite of all these things, men OF high
and low station are enthusiastically prais-
ing Peruna in public print and private
conversation.
Hon. Edward G. Wade. Of the United
States Census Department, is one Of the
men in high station who believes that
the whole world ought to know the vir-
tues of Peruna. Having been cured him
self his gratitude is so great that he is
willing to use every honorable means 10
let others know it, No other remedy IN
the world is making such multitude Of
different cures.

Hon. William Watson Washburn, Presi-
dent Of the Louisiana Commercial Club,
and a very well known man Of New Or
leans, La, writes from 6S7 Canal street:
81 am satisfied that there is not finer
medicine placed before the public to-day
than Peruna. / have been troubled for
nearly twelve years with kidney and liver
trouble and at times have been a pretty
sick man unable to attend to my duties.
I had about made up my mind that no
medicine could help me, when one Of your
booklets was brought to my office, which
read in a leisure hour. then decided to
give Peruna a trial and found that had
at last secured the right medicine for me,r
For two months / used 1t faithfully and
then felt so well / was like young man
once more. This was over year ago,
and 1 have not had any trouble since.
Although i am in the seventies l feel bet

years ago.''-W. w. Washburn.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Trouble.

Heart troubles. at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing, and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
citement and worry Of American business
lite. it is more often the result Of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable, but
not one case in a hundred of heart trouble
is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves,
the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling of
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs, interfer-
ing with their action, hence arises pal
pitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tGtes and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and ef-
fective digestive preparation like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found
at most drug stores, and which contain
valuable, harmless digestive elements in
e pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular. per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets sold
by druggists at so cents. Little book on
stomach troubles mailed free. Address f.

OLD MINERS BEQUEST
BRINGS THEM RICHES
Three Trinity County Men Sell a
Gold Producer That Was Willed
to Them

REDD1NG, Oct. 26.-The sale of a well
known Trinity County gold mine was ac-
complished in Redding this morning. The
Lappin mine was sold for $4,000. The
purchasers are coal and iron capitalists
of Pittsburg, represented by ]. K. Flem-
ing. The mine is sold by Ernest Dozier
who procured an option on it from the
owners, Jesse F. Tourtellote, Deputy
Sheriff of Trinity County, and R. E.
Cochran and M. A. Brady of Weaver
Vile.
Five tunnels have been run into the
mine. It has been worked for five years
by the three young men, who inherited it
from friend. and has paid well. 1t was
discovered years ago by an old prospec-
tor named Lappin. He did not believe in
tunnels, having fear of working under
ground, but he kept himself supplied with
gold by digging it loose at the surface
with a crowbar and scraping 1t out with
a hoe. Lappin had no relatives. When
his death was near he willed the mine to
the three young men, who now sell for a
handsome sum.
