mt Doesn't 1t Look Reasonable:
This NAV read as though we were put

That Dyspepsia In its chronic form is IN
cura1nle or practically so. But we have
long since shown that Dyspepsia is cura-
h,e nor is it such a difficult matter as at
first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that they
are continually dieting, starving them
selves. or going to opposite extremes, or
else deluging the already overburdeneo
stomach with ..bitters,'' "after dinner
nils" etc. which invariably increase the
difficulty even if in some cases they 90
give a slight temporary relief. Such treat
ment of the stomach simply makes mat
tiers worse. What the stomach wants is q
rest Now how can the stomach become
rested recuperated and at the same tune

This is great secret and this is also the
secret of the uniform success OF stuart

The Tablets will digest the food any

Saturday. Whether the fox had pre-
viously studied out the plan that brought
the man to him or whether it happened
by accident does not lessen the unconcern
it had for its own life or its unparalleled
despers teness for food. Mr.. Newton Ed
wards living a short distance out from
this place is the man of the uncommon
and unenvia.Ie experiences; for. on Satur-
day he was alta clied by most ferocious
fox but came out victorious. His cow,
generally a siecpy-headed. dreamy-look-
ing beast excited Mr.. Edwards suSpi-
cion by her Troublesome acts: for she
was seen paving the earth and heard
loudly suufiinC the ar. Mr.. Edwards
went to ascertain the cause OF her
strange behavior, and when he had come
nearer, espied FOX. angry-looking and
fierce lying il the broom straw. This
fox. rising reached his pack and foaming

Edwards who was unarmed, very

retreat but returned with his gun and

animal seemingly with no effect; for. in
stead Of stretching out and dying, the
fox made for the nervous marksman, ana
sprang at his throat. happily Mr.. Ed
wards lodged ana landed a death-givinG
blow to the fox. II is the general
opinion that this fox was rabid: If not,
it was the hravest gentleman OF the

ROW AMONG NlGhuEs.

isis. Rowe's Dancing Hail. on the Pc
tersburg turnpike, near Hull street. was
permeated with the smell OF powder and
shreks of discord Monday night, when
some disorderly negroes from Richmond
became jealous and fired pistol in the
crowd and caused the women to flee for
their lives.
Some Of the negro women, who said
they were also from Richmond had
their neckties and collars torn from them,
and were treated in a rough manner.
Despite the efforts Of the proprietor of
the place to restore order, there were ne
groes on the outside who swore Ven
Eseance against each other. and there was
fear of much bloodShed for awhile.
Rowe telephoned to the police station,
and the negroes who had created the dis
order had gone when the officer appeared
on the scene No arrests were made.

THAT no provision has been made for ac-

that he was converted about six years

Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent physician of Panama, Columbia, in a recent letter, states: Last March I had as a patient a young lady Is years of age, who had a very severe attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for her proved ineffect- ual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had become so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was study for me, but I thought of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and as a last resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was ef- fected.
