Flogging Story Denied.

Grand Rapids Mich. January 15. - F. Louter Vessels, one of the Boer envoys to this country, today said to the Associated Press regarding General Kitchener's dis patch as to the flogging of three peace commissioners by General DeWet near Linday last week and the shooting of one of them:
 "I am certain the report Is false. Such | as act is contrary to General DeWet's s character, and contrary to the nature and policy of the Boers. The Boers only hope now in arousing the sympathy of the world by the justice of our cause and our con- duct of the war. Such act as whipping and shooting peace commissioners might lose us that sympathy

Epidemic of the Grip.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Reports from many parts of the country shows that the grip epidemic is wide spread. In Chicago the disease is wide spread, and the Health Department re- ports with some alarm that it has greatly increased in severity since the first of the year. The department also calls attention to the fact that the disease is contagious and is easily communicated, the germs thriving in the moist air which prevails at present. It's recommendations that more precautions should be taken to avoid the spread of the grip are greatly needed, for there is a somewhat general inclination to class the disease as less dangerous than annoying. On the contrary, the number of deaths which can be traced directly to grip and its consequences is extremely large, especially with peopl who are past middle age. Something may be done to stop its spread by enforcing the ordinance forbid ding expectoration in street cars and in other public places, and still more by in- sisting that street cars and other similar vehicles be properly ventilated, instead of being practically sealed up, as is often the case now. For the rest one must depend on keeping ones feet dry and on taking othr precautions to avoid catching cold" which is so frequently the first stage in the disease

INT TENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
 TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured by stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
A New Discovery But Not a Patent
 Medicine.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting account of what he considers a remarkable case of acute stomach trouble and chronic dys- pepsia by the use of the new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 He says: "The patient was a man who had suffered. to my knowledge, for years with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed to sour and create gas in the stomach. He had pains like rheumatism in the back, shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and dis tress after eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart became effected, causing palpitation and sleeplessness at night.
 T gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an experiment I finally bought a 50 cent pack age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store and gave them to him. Almost inn mediate relief was given and after he had used four boxes ne was to all appearances fully cured.
 There was no more acidity sour wat cry arising, no bloating after meals the ap- petite was vigorous and he had gained be- tween 10 and F pounds in weight of solid healthy flesh.
 Although Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised and sold in drug stores, yet consider them a most valuable addition to any physicians line of remedies, as they are perfectly harmless and can be given to children or invalids or in any condition of the stomach, with perfect safety, being harmless and containing nothing but fruit and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal
 .'Without any question they the safest most effective cure for indigestion, bliousness. constipation and all derange- ments of the stomach, however slight or severe. "<
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by the F. A. Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich, and are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package.
