Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets
GIVE PERFECT DIGESTION, SOUND
SLEEP, STRONG NERVES.
a Popular Remedy fer Dyspepsia
Which Has Made Many Remark

The spring of the year is the time for
blood purifiers. 1t is the season when we
think We must dose ourselves with sar-
SapariIlas. bitters. and the endless list of
sO-called blood purifiers and nerve tOnics.
As matter of fact. there is but one
possible way in which to purify the blood
and that IS through the stomach and bow
els
Pure blood results from wholesome
food thoroughly digeSted Impure blood
results from poor digestion and assimila-
ton. When the stomach refuses to york
properly the food remains too cong q time
feTneutiug. forming gases. shown by
sour, bitter taste in the mouth boating
and bclching of gas, and distress and dis
comfort generally. Poor blood. weak
nerves, sleeDlessness, and d general don't
care feeling can always be traced to i'm
perfect digestion.
This is the reason why Stuart DySDep-
STA Tablets are superior to all other
spring medicines and blood purifiers
They give perfect digestion. the food does
not lie in the stomach for hours They
give vigorous appetite. sound sleep
strong nerves, and wholesome food well
dIgeSted makes pure blood. and in no
other way can the blood be purified. The
idea that medicine. in itself. win purify
the blood when the stomach and digestive
organs are out Of order Is nonsense
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets are used by
thousands in preference to ''bitteTS. - at
ter dinner pills" and blood purifiers"
because they remove the cause Of the i'm
pure blood. and you do not have to take
them forever to get results Dyspepsia
is an obstinate disease 10 cure and a rem
edy must be designed especially for it
and nothing else Cure-alis viii rot cure
dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
claimed 10 cure everything or anything
except Dyspepsia and stomach troubles
and for that it stands alone among pat
ent medicines Anyone suffering from any
trouble with their digestion will End these
tablets will give immediate relief and q
permanent cure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are prepared
by the +. A Stuart Co, of Marshall
Mich, and sold by druggists everywhere
at so cents per package No dieting nor

STATEMENT OF mr.. LOOMS
The Minister to Venezuela Again
Denies the San Juan Interview.

He Declares That His Return Does
Not Signify Strained Relations Be
tween the United States and
President CastFo's Government
NEW YORK, April 17.-Francis B
LOOMS. United States Minister to
Venezuela. who arrived last nisht on
the steamship Caracas from San Juan,
went 10 Hotel Victoria this morning.
He viii remain in New York until Sat
urday or Sunday and then go to Wash
ington TO report to Secretary Hay. He
was disincIiued to discuss the reasons
for his recall, but denied that his re-
turn had any special significance, and
said that ii should not be construed as
indicating strained relations between
the United States and Venezuela When
he was asked about the statement at
trfbuted to him in san Juan, rejecting
on President Castro, he entered IN en-
phatic denial and declared that he had
made no such statements.
I can see no way in which any words
of mine could have been construed into
anything even vaguely resembling that
published statement said Mr. LOOMS
While at san Juan, q reporter from a
local paper came aboard the Scorpion
and asked some questions regarding the
general situation IN Venezuela I an
swered him in general terms, saying
that everything was quiet there, and
merely expressing my satisfaction at
the way things were going. I did not
discuss the relations of the United
States with Venezuela and did not crit
else or discuss President Castro or his
Government TIE interview vas pub
Iished substantially as I gave it, and
where the ether story originated is more
than can tell
-sThen the story Of strained relations
between you and General Castro are
unfoUnded?'' he was asked
General Castro is a most estimab]e
gentleman, and ne and I are very good
friends. indeed MIR LOOMS replied,
enigmatically smiling at his question
er and by no means conveying assar-
ance that his statement was TO b &C
cepted literally
Everything is quiet down there
now he added, and think President
Castro has the situation well in hand
OF course, there are always VenezUe-
lans exiIes al Trinidad OF Curacao
who look IongingIy at home and plan
for their return I understand that An

Several times recently the wires OF

perienced similar trouble with their

passage of the heavy cars over It causi1e,
the wires to break and fail over the troll
icy wires To remove this difficulty the
telephone company has placed its wires

After several conferences with the rail
