Foreign Generals Agreed as to the
Necessity OF the Course.
PEKIN, April 2.-Regarding the
destruction of the forts the generals
are practically agreed that those at
Taku, Shan Hal Kuan and Tien Tsin
must at least be rendered useless,
while the north fort at the entrance Of
the river Taku must be destroyed en-
tirely, on account of the fact that eve
since 1t was built it has caused lower
water on the bar, having diverted
the course of the stream. The mer-
chants have frequently complained
to the consuls, but no government has
liked to ask China to destroy q fnrt
at the entrance to an important river.
This, however. can now be done as a
matter of military necessity, and will
give foreign merchants intense salts
faction, as in consequence of it's being
done the river will in a short time
again be navigable as far as Tien

miserable looking fellow boarder who
was tortured by dyspepsia. wHello
Smith," he cried, varen't YOU feeling
well?" And Smith growled back: Wits
o of your business how I'm feeling"
Talk about adding insult to injury!
What could be any worse than asking a
mar who had suffering stamped all over
him, wAren't you feeling welll"
It's rather hard for the dyspeptie to
make a stranger to the disease under,
stand just how much suffering dyspepsia
can cause. Words don't express it.
That terrible gnawing sensation in the
stomach is past description. Even after
you have recited the specific aches and
pains there are no terms to express the
cumulative and combined effects of them
! all upon both mind and body.
DON'T CULTIVATE DYSPEPSIA.
That would seem unnecessary advice,
vet it is a fact that in the nain, people
who finally become dyspeptics seem to
have studied how quickest to bring N
the disease. They eat irregularly. They
eat unwholesonle OF innutriticus foods.
They eat heartily when they are tired
with a days work and the stomach needs
rest instead of exercise. In fact if they
made a study of the quickest way to
dyspepsia or disease of the stomach in
general and its allied organs of diges-
ton and nutrition, they could not prac-
tice more successful methods.
When dyspepsia once has its grip on
the stomach the ma who has expert
mented with tablets and powders and
other ~palliatives without permanent re-
lief finds himself asking the question,
cAm l ever going to be we'll again so
that I can eat with appetite and enjoy
ment?"
The one necessity to the recovery of
health is the cure of the diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition. Tablets of soda, mint,
etc, will for the moment alter the con-
dition tn the stomach, but they won't
alter the condition of the stomach itself.
These things are therefore merely pal
Natives. Not only do they not cure but
by affording temporary relief they lull
the victim into a false security until he
probably finds himself some day very
much worse for their use.
