a GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE

About Blood Purifiers" and "Tonies.g
Every droP Of blood, every bone,
nerve and tissue in the body can be
renewed in but one way and that is,
from wholesome food properly digest
ed There is no other way and the
idea that a medicine in itself can
purify the blood or supply new tis-
sues and strong nerves Is ridiculous
and on @ par with the fol-de-rol that
dyspepsia or indigestion is a germ
disease or that other fallacy, that a
weak stomach which refuses 70 d.
gest food can be made to do so. by
lrritating and inhaming the bowels by
pills and oathartics.
Suarts Dyspepsia Tablets cure in
digestion, sour stomach, gas and
bloating after meals, because they
furnish the digestive principles which
weak stomachs lack. and unless the
deficiency OF pepsin and diastase is
supplied Il is useless to attempt to
cure stomach trouble by the use of
'tonios" pills" and "cathartlcs'
which have absolutely no digestive
power. and their only effect is to give
a temporary stimulation
One grain Of the active principle in
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
1000 grains OF meat. eggs and similar
foods and experiments have shown
that they win do this in glass bottle
at proper temperature. but Of course
are much more effective in the stom'
ach.
There is probably no Iomedy SO
universally used as stuarts Tablets
because it is not only the sick and
ailing, but wen people who use them
at every meal to insure perfect diges
ton and assimilation OF the food.
People who enjoy fair health take
stuart's Tablets as regularly as they
take their meals, because they wan'
to keep wen, prevention Is always bet
ter than cure and smart's Dyspepsii
Tablets do both; they prevent indi
gestlon and they remove Il where 4
exists The regular use Of one o.
two OF them after meals win demon
strate their merit and efficiency bette
thaa any other argument.

Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-04-11
A Historical Address
Marietta Board of Trade.

On the occasion of the corner stone
laying Of the new court house, Presi-
dent S. J Hathaway spoke as follows
on behalf of the Marietta Board of
Trade:
In the year 1887, at the organization
of the Board of Trade, Marietta was
practically dead. The Industrial and
mercantile interests were in state OF
stagnation with real estate "A drug On
the market The location then, as
now, was unexce!led and the natural
advantages unsurpassed; yet there was
a feeling of discomfort, very different
from the present and the prosperity
that brings contentment was lacking.
This condition was not new; it had
been a continuing state of the commun-
ity for many years. Sufficient proof of
this assertion is found in the census re-.
turns for 1870 and 1880 In 1870 Mari
eta had 5,21S and Harmar 1,511 inhab-
itants, total 6,729. Ten years later, ac
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-04-11

cording to the census of 1880, Marietta
had 5,444 and Harmar ,572, total 7,016,
an increase of only 29O in a decade. /.
is evident that the natural increase in
that period would be more than 290,
and we are led to the conclusion that
more people moved away from Marietta
than were added to the poulation. In
fact, for many years it had been the
proper thing for the young men to GO
west, the city thus losing the impetus
that the vigorous brain and Drawn of
these young men should have given
her. There being nothing here for
them to do, they naturally went away
to seek opportunity for advancement in
the new west
The census of 1890 taken after the
consolidation of Marietta and Harmar,
shows population of 8,273, an in
crease of 1857 over 1880, mostly added
during three years between 1887 and
1890.
The condition of the county shows
up even worse than the city In 1880
the population of Washington County
was 1924 and in 1890 it had fallen
away to 42,SSO, loss of S64 in ten
years.
Looking at the city from financial,
commercial or manufacturing stand
point, things were as bad as they could
be. What we had was safe but dead.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-04-11
MARIETTA IN 1887.

In 1887 we had one National Bank,
one Building Association and Savings
Bank. Certainly city of 1000 inhab-
itants which could not support as many
financial institutions as that, ought to
be turned back and classed with the
villages.
Going through the city in that year,
you would have found town finely
laid out, but without paved street,
with only few dim gas lights, no
electric lights, no water works, no
fire department worthy of the name
and in saying that we do not mean to
reflect on the old volunteer fire depart
ment which was as good as that of any
city of the size of Marietta in the State
In that year you would have found
very few new houses and scarcely any
being built No system of sewerage
had been adopted and no attempt had
been made to consolidate the popula-
tion that rightfully belonged to the
city.
STAGNATED CITY GOVERNMENT.
The city had but three wards and six
Councilmen who met but once month,
change having been made from week
ly to monthly meetings some years pre-
vious because it removed the chance
for spending city money and served as
n cort Of chacly on nntarnrica and tom
denotes to extravaganza. The same rule
would have justified them in meeting
but once in two months or in goinS
back to the old New England plan o
town meetings, held once a year at
which all bills of the previous year
were allowed and other business trans
acted and adjournment had for another
year, condition of things very con-
ducive to Rip Van Wrinkle state OF
the community.
DISCOURAGING COSEQUENCES,
However, when we have said all this
as to the condition of Marietta prior to
1887 and there are good many things
we have left unsaid, the worst had not
been told, for material situations are
but outward expressions of the mental
attitude of the actors who frame ami
mould public sentiment and create ex-
listing conditions. The worst effect OF
all this stagnation and slowness, was
found in the mental condition of the
citizens themselves. Long years of
encouragement and disappointment,
failure and disaster had wrought their
legitimate consequences in the charac-
ter and intellectual state of the people
themselves which was worse than con-
servative; it was absolutely prohibl-
tory to all enterprise or progress-not
because the people did not want to adj
vance. but because those who could
lead them into the promised land,
doubted and doubted so perslstently
and deeply that all ordinary arguments
and Inducements failed and conse-
quently very few new ventures were
made, and capital shrank from home
Investments. Whatever of capital or
surplus there was sought opportunity
