THE FEAR OF HuMBUG.
Prevents Many People From Trying a
Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common ana
In most cases 50 obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be radical per-
manent cure for dyspepsia and inolges-
ton. Many such pride themselves on
their acuteness in never being num-
bugged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, SO far, in fact, that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of preparation SO reliable
and universally used as Stuart's Dys-.
pepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not a
secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients, altho they
are sold by all druggists under protec-
tion of trademark, but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive
s1erments. pure aseptic pepsin, the di-
FESTIVE acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, ny
dastis and nux. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any
organ, but they cure indigestion on the
common sense plan of digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before it has time
20 ferment, sour and cause the mischief
This is the only secret of their success.
! Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely upon the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really In the stomach.
I Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken af-
ter meals digest the food. That is all
there is to it. Food not digested or
half digested is poison, as it creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpitatlon of
the heart, loss of flesh and many other
troubles which are often called by some.

With Ia Case of Gilbert.

Atlantic, Dec. 1.-THE authorities
have a problem in the case OF David

man Issue Statement.
Special to the Times Republican.
Eldora, Dec. 11.--Reports sent out
from this place and neighboring cities
relative to the smallpox situation have
been SO exaggerated and misleading
that Mayor Robb and Health Officer
Koeneman have issued a signed state
ment giving the exact truth about the
situation. 1t shows that the reports
are utterl yunfounded. The statement is
as follows:
Nov. % Thanksgiving day. DR.. c. c..
Gethmann, Of this city. reported that he
believed case Of variloid existed in the
home of Mrs. Mary Scurry, and so in
formed Health Officer DR.. E. o. Koene-
man. The local board of health was no.
titled and within two hours that body
was in session and the state board of
health regulations We're complied with
and the Scurry family quarantined, the
James Scurry store properly fumigated
and all necessary precautions taken to
prevent the spread Of the disease. A
mild case existed at the j. F. Madden
home. where the same quarantine and
disinfecting regulations We're estab-
lished. Today the disease has been
practically stamped out, thanks to the
proper measures taken by the local
board of health, aided by every citizen
of Eldora and the good work of the Ell
dora physicians. The people here are not
alarmed and business has been carried
on the same as before the existence Of
the alleged epidmic.
THE family of Vernon Scott. in the
extreme north part of the city. is still
under the supervision of the local board
Of health on account Of the illness Of one
Of the inmates of the home, Miss Ma
son, whom, 1t is feared, may have vari-
loid, altho the lady is not seriously sick.
The period of contagion is now past and
as no new cases have developed it is
safe to say that the disease has been
wiped out and that 1t was only confined
to three cases. Some prejudiced people
in prejudiced towns have endeavored to
sound an alarm that this city is alive
with smallpox but it is not true and the
facts are as above stated"
