bugged Prevents Many People From
Trying q Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are so common
and in most cases so obstinate to cure,
that people are apt to look with sus-
picion on any remedy claiming. to be
radical permanent cure for dyspep-
sia and Indigestion. Many ouch peo
pic pride themselves on their acute
ness in never being humbugged, es-
peeially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can
be carried too far. so far, in fact, that
many people suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk a
little time and money in faithfully
testing the claims made for remedy
so reliable and universally used as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary patent medicines,
for the reason that they are not Sc
cret patent medicine; no secret is
made of the Ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin
government test) Gold Seal and dias-
tase. They are not cathartic, neither
do they act powerfully on any particu-
lar organ, but they cure indigestion on
the common sense plan of digesting
the food eaten thoroughly before it
has time to ferment, sour and cause
the mischief. This is the only secret
of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach
troubles, because they act only on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
| in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That is
all there is to it. Food not digested
or half digested is poison. as it Gre
ates gas. acidity. headaches. palpita-
ton of the heart, loss of flesh and APP
petite and many other troubles which
are often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where in the United States, Great

Appleton. Wis, Jan. 25.-Much
alarm is felt over the actions of DIR. NJ.
J. Rodermund. a local physician.
through which hundreds of persons
have been exposed 10 smallpox. DIR.
Rodermund has long disputed the
germ theory OF disease and declared
that no disease is contagious. Last
week one case of smallpox appeared
here.
DIR. Rodermund, evidently desiring
to make use of the occurrence in an
effort to prove his theories, went to the
quarantined house and, as he admits,
exposed himself not only by his pres
ence but by contact with the person
of the patient. He then went to his
house, ate supper with his family, and
afterward went TO the Business Mems
club, where he stayed several hours.
The next day he went to Green Bag,
where he met several patients and 9TH
er persons.

"SHARK!"
NAVAL OFFICERS LEG BITTEN OFF
WHILE SWIMMING.
The Question Now Arises Whether the
Man is Entitled to Pension. and
Officials Differ in Opinions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. g.
Admiral Kempff has forwarded
to the Navy department an official
report of the biting off of the leg
of Quartermaster S. McKie, Sd
class, of the gunboat Annapolis,
by shark or other sea monster.
The Annapolis was stationed
at Iloilo, and on June "a a party
was sent out for rifle practice.
Commander Rohrer, in command
of the Annapolis, states that per-
mission was given to several of
the men to go swimming, while
others were engaged in firing.
Two of the men had been in
for some time, when McKie
joined them and asked if they
had been able to touch bottom.
Being answered in the negative,
he made a dive, and was gone
for several seconds. One of the
seamen says he heard a gurgllng
sound beneath the water. A mo-
ment later McXie appeared on
the surface and shouted: SHARK.
Shark The water was stained
with blood.
McKie started to SWIM, and
although crippled, reached the
boat and was pulled in by his
companions. His leg was bit
ten off near the knee. He was
taken aboard the Annapolis,
where the surgeon found it
necessary to amputate the limb
between the knee and hip.
The surgeon, in his report,
states that while the accident
was not in the line of duty, it was
incident to the service Admiral
Kempff, however, holds that, as
the quartermaster had received
permission to go in bathing, the
accident occurred in the line of
duty. The crippled quartermas-
ter probably will receive a pen
sion.
