NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A CURE FOR ALL.
Not a Patent Cure-all, Nor a Modern
Miracle, but Simply a Rational
Cure for Dyspepsia.

In these days of humbuggery and de-
ception the manufacturers of patent med
icines, as a rule, seem to think their
medicines will not sell unless they claim
that it will cure every disease under the
sun. And they never think of leaving
out dyspepsia and stomach troubles
They are sure to claim that their nostrum
is absolutely certain to cure every dy-
speptic and he need look no further.
In the face of these absurd claims it is
refreshing to note that the proprietors 2f
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have care
fully refrained from making undue
claims or false representations regard
ing the merits of this most excellent
remedy for dyspepsia and stomach
troubles They make but one claim for
it, and that is, that for indigestion and
various stomach troubles Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets is a radical cure They
so no farther than this and any man or
woman suffering from Indigestion. chron-
ic or nervous dyspepsia, who Will give
the remedy trial will find that nothing
is claimed for it, that the facts will not
only fully sustain.
1t is a modern discovery, composed of
harmless vegetables ingredients accept
able to the weakest of most delicate
stomach. It's great success in curing
stomach troubles is due to the fact that
tho medical properties are such that it

wholesome food and take these Tablets
at each meal, thus assisting and resting
the stomach which rapidly regains it's

DID NOT KILL O'NEILL
Coroner's Jury Exonerates
Michael Hurley Who Fought
With the Dead Man.

AT the inquest into the death of John
O'Neill, conducted by Coroner Stephen F.
Wyse at the Court House last night, no
evidence was adduced fixing the respon-
sibiity on Michael Hurley, who is un-
der arrest in connection with the case,
and the jury promptly returned a verdict
to the effect that O'Neill died from in
juries received in a manner unknown.
The testimony of a number of witnesses
was to the effect that Hurley and O'NeiIl
had fought at the Johnston avenue cross
ing of the -Lehigh Valley Railroad on
Sunday evening, March q. Some time
afterwards a number of people saw
O'Neill bleeding profusely from a wound
on the head. 1t was said that Hurley
in self defense had struck O'Neill a blow
on the jaw which felled him to the ground,
his head striking the sidewalk.
The injured man was taken to DR..
Lampson's house, and from there -remov-
ed in an ambulance to St. Francis Hos
pital, where he died on April % from a
compound fracture of the skull.
None of the witnesses saw the fatal
blow struck, and 1t is probable that Hnr-
ley, who is now out on bail. will be ex-
onerated by the Grand Jury refusing TO
find an indictment against him.

Ex- Policeman Stein Who
Was Reported Killed
Returns Home Sound
and Well.
SCHEME TO GET MONEY
His Wife Circulated the Story
and Wanted His Mother to
Pay for His Burial.

Paul Stein, who was recently discharg-
ed from the police force for neglect Of
duty, who deserted his wife and who last
week was reported to have been run over
and killed on the New Jersey Southern
road at Winslow Junction, surprised his
relatives yesterday by turning up safe
and sound at his mothers flower store on
Newark avenue, opposite the Court
House The report of his death had been
sent out by himself in order to extract
money from his mother. His grusome
plot however was unsuccessful.
Stein left this city about March 30. and
had left his wife and children TO care for
themselves. Mrs. Stein mother Of the
ex-officer, received letters from him time
and again asking her for money. as he
was in hard straits.
Failing in his purpose, he restorted to
the death idea, and again failing, ne had
to return home to his mother to escape
starvation.
It is supposed that his wife assisted
him in his last scheme to extort money
from his mother. It was daring, if not
q novel, scheme.
A few days before he disappeared Stein
got a few cards printed at the printing
establishment of L. P. Hansen, at Month
cello and Belmont avenues, announcing
that he was going into the flower busi-
ness. After he secured the cards nothing
was heard of him until late Friday even
ing, when his sister. Mrs. J. Seeley, re-
ceived a letter stating that her brother
had been killed al Winslow Junction. No
name was signed to the letter. but it
Stein run down by train and Identified
him through one of the cards Hansen had
printed, which was found in his pocket.
When the story of his death had been
well circulated STEMS wife went to his
mother and showing her piece of cloth
which she said had been cut from the
coat of the man killed at Winslow juno
ton and which she identified as the cloth
of the coat her husband wore when he
went away, asked for $40 with which to
bring the body home and give him a
decent burial. Mrs. Stein, who claims that
her son is not married to the woman who
claims to be his wife, told the woman that
she did not believe her son was dead and
refused to give her any money.
Yesterday morning the elder Mrs. Stem
was about her place of business as usual
attending to her work about the store,
when suddenly the door opened and in
walked the supposed dead man very
much alive 1t was not much of sur
prise for his mother, as she said she ex-
pected as much. Stein, it is said, told
his mother that he had been at Atlantic
City during his absence and had returned
home to be better boy. STEMS friends
denounce his heartless conduct and are
avoiding him.
