INTERESTING FACTS

For Nearly Every Man. Woman and Child
A short time ago we published an
article recommending to our readers
the new discovery for the cure of dys-
pepsia. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
and the claims then made regarding
the wonderful curative properties of
the remedy have been abundantly
sustained by the facts. People who
were cautious about trying new rem
edies advertised in the newspapers
and were finally induced to give Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets a trial were
surprised and delighted at the re-
suits. In many cases n single pack
age costing but so cents at any drug
store made complete cure and in
every instance the most beneficial re-
suits were reported. From n hundred
or more received we have space to
publish only few of the latest, but
assure our readers we receive so
many commendatory letters that we
shall publish each week a fresh list
of genuine. unsolicited testimonials
and never publish the same one twice.
From James Yemmeisler, Lacrosse,
Wis: ''Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are doing me more good than any
thing ever tried, and l was so pleas
ed at results that | gave away several
boxes to my friends, who have also
had the same benefits"
From Jacob Anthony, Portmurray,
New Jersey: Il have taken Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets with the best re-
suits. / had dyspepsia for six years
and had taken a great deal of medi-

farmer and lime burner, and hearth
" recommend to everyone who has
any trouble with his stomach to use
these tablets"
From Mrs. VI. X. West, Preston,
Mimi: 81 have received surprisingly
good effects from using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. 1 gave one-haf of my
last box to a friend, who also suffer
ed from indigestion, and she had the
same good results"
From Mrs. Agnes X. ,Ralston, Cadil-
lac, Mich: 81 have been taking Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets and am very
much better, and feel very grateful
for the great benefit i have received
in so short time"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
certain cure for all forms of indiges-
ton. They are not claimed to be
cure-all. but are prepared for stom-
ach troubles only, and physicians and
druggists everywhere recommend
them to all persons suffering from
nervous dyspepsia. sour or acid stom-
ach, heartburn, bloating or wind on
stomach and similar disorders.

MORNING SERVICE IN CHURCHES
Addresses by Rev. McNary and Hon.
William Jackson-Varied
Amusements.

1t was ideal Thanksgiving weather
yesterday. The thin layer of snow
that covered the earth in the early

almost dry. a bracing breeze from
the north blew all day, sharpening
appetites for turkey and improving
the spirits of mortals. -
In Rock Island the great majority
put business and its cares out of The
way and gave themselves up to a
proper observance of day of thank
fulness for manifold blessings. In
the morning there were church sert-
ices, in the afternoon there We're
games and out-of-door diversions and
in the evening there were social
gatherings of various kinds. All
were largely patronized, as were the
performances at the Illinois theatre.
At the First Methodist church the
Methodist. Baptist, Presbyterian and
Christian congregations united in
morning services appropriate to the
day. y large congregation was i'll
attendance.
The program opened with an organ
voluntary, which was followed by L
hymn by the congregation. Then Rev.
W. s. Marquis read the presidents
proclamation for the celebration of
Thanksgiving day. Following this
Rev. j. b. Rutter invoked the divine
blessing and after an anthem by the
choir Rev. II. w. Reed led in the re-
sponsive reading of the 145th Psalm.
Another hymn by the congregation
and Rev. William Torrance led in
prayer. \ baritone solo entitled a
Song of Praise by j ~. Johnson,
followed. and then Rev. ID. l.. McNary
delivered the sermon.

Press your hand hard

you can smother a cough but
you can't cure it that way
The outside is the wrong end

SCOTS Emulsion thorough
ly cures coughs because it
strikes at the root of the
trouble. The throat and lungs
need a regular system of edu-
cation to cure an old cough.
The point of value about
