In his own words he says: Il consulted one
physician after another, and each one seemed to
understand my case, but all the same, they each
failed to bring about the return Of my former d.

from pillar to post, from one san1tarium to an
other I gave up smoking. I quit coffee and even
renounced my daily glass or two OF beer, but with
out any marked improvement.
..Friends had often advised me to try a we'll

couple Of packages at the nearest drug store and
took two or three tablets after each meal and
casionally a tablet between meals. when l felt
any feeling of nausea or discomfort.

note a marked improvement in my appetite and
general health, and before the two packages were
gone was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

coffee and cigar and no one would suppose l had

that the principal ingredients We're aseptic pepsin

The root Of the matter Is this. the digestive

come from food; stimulants and nerve tonics never

GOMEZ A BONE OF CONTENTION.
Cuban COnstitutiOnal Convention in
Deadlock Over Presidency.

Deadlock Over Presidency.
A dispatch from Havana last night says:
At Wednesday nights session the Cuban
constitutional convention finished lot of
minor business completing its work to sec
ton twelve 1t was voted to increase the
number of taxpayers in the electoral college
for the election of senators to twice the
number Of legislators, and the article was
also modified by the Introduction of q clause
permitting professional men to serve as
electors.
Senor Rafael Portuendo, although in
hopeless minority, protested against sena-
tors being elected by an electoral college
instead of by the people direct, the same
as representatives. He contended that the
rstrictons placed electors, namely, that
they should be property holders or profess
sional men, were undemocratic and favored
rich Cubans. He declared that the peo-
pie did not want wealth and security but
liberty.
Article III in section was so modified
as to make only native-born Cubans eligi-
BILE to the senate.
II, which was to be considered this after
noon. brought about deadlock in the con-
vention 1t was in reference to the quail
fications of the president. and the old Co
mez fight was revived. The delegates met
in private session in an ante room at 2
o'clock The anti-Gomez men, led by Gen.
Sanguiy and SenOres Giberga and Juan
Gualberto Gomez, favored the eligibility of
only native-born Cubans, while the admir-
ers of Gen. Gomez, headed by Senores de
Quesada and Nunez. advocated the reten-
ton of the clause in the original draft,
making eligible a naturaliZed citizen who
had served ten years in the wars Each
ballot resulted in a tie Of IA to IA. Three
members, Senores Rivera, Gener and Llor-
ente were absent.
After. discussion lasting two hours
Senor Gener, who is an avowed Gomezite
entered and call was made for the presi-
dent to assemble the convention. The op-
ponents of Gen. Gomez, however, refused
to take their seats. and after several efforts
the delegates withdrew from the hall.
The feeling engendered by the contro-
versy was very bitter. several opponents
of Gomez asserting that they would re-
sign If the clause making him eligible to
the presidency was adopted.
This evenings session was suspended
through want of quorum. the anti-Go-
meZ faction refusing to attend.
