and to separate the edges of the wound.
A little slough was observed near the
bullet track, covering a space nearly
an inch wide. the thickness of the flaps.
The suppuration seemed to extend
down to the muscle"

Sine says: q had poor digestion nearly all my life. It now seems to me that for years 1 never knew what it was to be fdngry, to have a good natural appe- ute.
 .I was troubled with gas in stomach CT. ,sing pressure on the heart with pal .pitation and short breath Nearly every thing 1 ate soured on my stomach some times I had cramps in the stomach which almost resembled spasms.
 Doctors told me l had catarrh of the stomach, but their medicines would not T, ach 1t and I would still be a sufferer had l not in sheer desperation, decided to try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 .'I knew they were an advertised rem edy and I didn't believe anything I read about them as I had no confidence in ad- vert!sed remedies, but ny sister living ib Pittsburg wrote me last spring tell iss; me how Stuart's Tablets had cured her little daughters of indigestion and Joss of flesh and appetite, and I hesitated no longer.
 ''I bought a fifty-cent box at my drug store and took two of the large tablets after each meal and found them delight ful to take, being as pleasant to the taste as caramel candy. Whenever during the Gay or night I felt any pain or uneasi- ness in the stomach or about the heart tcol one of the small tablets and in three weeks it seemed to mo as if l had never known what stomach trouble was.
 I keep Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in the house and every member of our family uses them occasionally after a hearty meal or when any of us have a pain or ache in the digestive organs'
 MT. E. H. Davis of Hampton, Va., says: "I doctored five years for dyspepsia, but in two months I got more benefit from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets than in five years of the doctors treatment"
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest as well as the simplest and most con- venient remedy for any form of indiges- tion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, bloating after meals, sympa- thctic heart trouble.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not a cheap cathaRtic, but an active digestive remedy containing the pepsn and dias- tase which every weak stomach lacks, and they cure stomach troubles because tEcy digest the food eaten and give the weak, abused overworked stomach a chance to rest and recuperate.

LETTERS FROM
 THE PEOPLE.

TO the Editor Of the Age-Herald.
 You will please say to your many read CTS that I am truly glad that the new constitution was sustained by good ma josity of the patriotic citizens of our state. Also I was very sorry to see so many of our good citizens in our county, St. Clair, voting against the constitu- ton. They did not understand the word mg of the new constitution. They thought that the Tom White man would be disfranchised. It was true that the wording of the new constitution was very much complicated, In order to bridge over the fifteenth amendment of the con- stitution of the United States. Most all of our negroes turned out and voted against the constitution. I do not know of a negro that voted for the constitu- ton.
 Now, 1t Is an evident fact that a large majority of the negroes are looking for ward to social equality. It seems to be | plain case that President Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington have got the example of social equality. They did not think of the great sensation that would b., made throughout the United States. This act in my judgment will be the downfall of the Republican party. We nave SOO0, honest HIGH III lne NepuDllcdn ysrty who are bitterly opposed to social equality with the negro
 Now we must consider as free Ameri- yan people the importance of sustaining tl,e principles of state rights and state sovereignty. Also. we must consider neither or not the fifteenth amendment :o the constitution was in keeping with :he constitution of our fathers. The time bss fully come for our American :,eople to know that the people should govern and not the money, and that the EeSro is a non-progressive children, and is not competent to make laws for white ,ren. Let our people heed the truth and ste nd for the right and be willing to die ky it, and have the love for our fellow men that we ought and do as we would wich to be done ny.
