4 Remedy That Has RevoIutfonine
the treatment ~ Stemach Trou
bIes.
The remedy Is not heralded as
wonderful discovery nor yet sec
ret patent medicine. neither is it
claimed to cure anything except
dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach
troubles with which nine out OF
ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of
pleasant tasting tablets or lozen-
ges, containing vegetable and fruit
essences. pure aseptic pepsin (gov-
eminent test), golden seal and
diastase. The tablets are sold by
druggists under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. Many in
teresting experiments to test the
digestive power of Stuarts Tab
lets show that one grain of the ac-
tive principle contained in them is
sufficient to thoroughly digest 5000
grains of raw meat, eggs and other
wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act up
on the bowels like after dinner
pills and cheap cathartics, which
simply irritate and infiame the in
testines without having any effect
whatever in digesting food or cur
ing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and
assisted in the work of digestion
it will very soon recover its nor
NAL vigOr, as no organ is SO much
abused and overworked as the
stomach.
This is the secret, if there is
secret, Of the remarkable success
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a
remedy practically unknown a few
years ago and now the most wide
ly known of any treatment for
stomach weakness.
This success has been secured
entirely upon its merits as di-
gestive pure and simple because
there can be no stomach trouble
if the food is promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act
entirely on the food eaten, digest
ing it completely, SO that it can be
assimilated into blood, nerve and
tissue. They cure dyspepsia,
water brash, sour stomach, gas and
bloating after meals, because they
furnish the digestive power which
weak stomachs lack and unless
that lack is supplied it is useless to
attempt to cure by the use of ton
les . mills" and cathartics which
have absolutely no digestive pow
er.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
be found at all drug stores and the
regular use of one or two of them
after meals, will demonstrate
their merit better than any other
argument.

being pink and white. Festoons of
colored streamers were hung from the
several walls, being draped gracefully
across the centre of the ceiling. Ex-
otics afforded pretty settings about
the room and on the tables cut flow

Consumption of Plant Food.

consumed in growing an acre of wheat
is just what the wheat win sell for ut

losing business, and will surely ex-

two or three years, together with
other judicious rotation-why, then
we don't have to buy plant food and
wheat becomes profitable. In most of
the southwest, cow peas can be grown
sfter wheat is harvested, and thus the

FOUR DOCTORS FAILED.
4 Michigan Lady's Battle with Dis.
ease and How 1t Was
Won.

Flushing, Mich, Jan. z, 1901 (Spe-
cial) .-One of the most active workers
In the cause of Temperance and Social
Reform in Michigan is Mrs. p. A. Pass
more of this place. She is prominent
and very enthusiastic w. C. T. u. wom-
an, and one who never loses an oppor-
tunity to strike blow against the
demon Of Intemperance. Mrs. Pass
more has suffered much bodily pain
during the last three years through
Kidney and Bladder Trouble. At times
the pain was almost unbearable, and
the good lady was very much dis
tressed. She tried physician after
physician, and each in turn failed to
relieve her, let alone effect a cure.
Home remedies suggested by anxious
friends were applied, but all to no pur-
pose. At last some one spoke of Dodd's
Kidney Pills as great Remedy for
all Kidney and Bladder Diseases, and
Mrs. Passmore decided to try them.
She did, and is now we'll woman. She
has given the following statement for
publication:

they had diligently inquired the way
of some traveller who had been lost
in the same road, he would have tried
some other route, or, at least have
avoided the pitfalls of which he would
have been warned. To be success
full farmer must know what he is
doing and where he 10 going. He
must learn from others. He must
learn from the unsuccessful as well
as the successful; must learn how not
to do as well as how to do. The
farmer who stays at home and under
takes to work out his own salvation
without the advice or consent of his
fellows will fail, as surely as the sun
viii rise. Hence the necessity for con-
sultation. And this, like everything
else worth doing at all should be done
Systematically; and it can not be done
Systematically without organization.
An organization of farmers that
meets once a year at some prominent
point may do much good, but they do
not reach those who need help most.
The farmers of every neighborhood
should organize club among them
selves. They will not need public
hall, with rent and fuel and lights to
pay for. A country school house is
suitable place to meet and discuss
farming matters. But it would, per-
haps be better to do as the Roman
farmers did two thousand years ago
meet alternately at each Others
houses, and discuss farming opera
tons on the farms. with the benefit
of object lessons at hand. One thing
is absolutely certain; every farmer
participating in such meetings would
become a better farmer in conse-
quence. In every neighborhood there
are at least some progressive farmers.
These should take the lead, for as
matter of course, no other Kind OF
farmers ever will. Even one man may
be instrumental in redeeming
neighborhood if he will go to work
in earnest. Let the object be inn
provement in farming, and in farm
life. Get a few together at first, and
as their eyes begin to open, Others
will follow. After a while there will
spring up a laudable emulation that
will benefit every participant. We
know one solitary instance where this
course was originated by one man in
a neighborhood where something was
badly needed to arouse the farmers
from their lethargy. That became,
within five years the leading rural
neighborhood in the county, for high
class farming, for prosperity, for
moral and social worth, and although
this was nearly twenty years ago, the
neighborhood remains the most de-
sirable one in the county.-Texas

THE CHANGE OF LIFE

Is the most important period in a wo-
mans existence. Owing to modern
methods of living, not one woman in
a thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
a train OF very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the heart until It
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the heart were going to
stop for good, are symptoms of dam
gerous, nervous trouble. Those hot
flashes are just SO many calls from
nature for help. The nerves are CRY.
