SOUR STOMACH (Aeid Dyspepsia
Now Recognized as the Cause Of
Serious Diseases.

Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach. is a form
Of Indigestion resulting from fermenta-
ton of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest 1t. the food
remains until fermentation begins, fill
ing the stomach with gas. and a bitter,
sour, burning taste in the mouth Is
often present. This condition soon be-
comes chronic and being an every day
occurrence Is given but little attention.
Because Dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble
1t Is now we'll known among able
physicians that the whole constitution
Is gradually undermined and weakened,
that the nerves and vital organs are
seriously affected by any form OF dys-
pepsia. This Is plain, as every organ,
every nerve in the body is nourished
by the blood and the blood is replen-
ished from the food digested. If the
food is properly dgested the blood is
pure, the nerves steady, but If supplied
from a sour, fermenting, decaying mass
the blood is vitfated. poisoned and the
result is shown in sleeplessness, lack OF
energy, poor appetite, nervousness.
Every trine is magniiled and the dys-
peptic sees nothing but the dark side of
everything.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia aud stomach troubles 1t Is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and it is now becoming rapidly used
and prescribed as radical cure for
every form of dyspepsia.
1t is not claimed to cure anything eN-
rept dyspepsia and stomach weakness
In its various forms. but for this 1t has
been shown to be unequalled. The emf
nent specialists, Reed and OLeary,
have recently stated that they consid-
cred Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets an rn-
failing specific for disorders of the di-
sestiva organs, and the remarkable
cures made in cases Of long standing
dyspepsia proves that this remedy has
extraordinary merit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at so cents
per package, and while it promptly and
cffectually restores a vigorous diges-
ton, at the same time is perfectly
harmless and will not injure the most
delicate stomach, but OH the contrary
by giving perfect digestion. strengthens
the stomach, improves the appetite and
makes life worth living.

A CHARITABLE SOCIETY
THAT SPENDS THOUSANDS
IN SUPPORT OF NEEDY
NJ. V. COitO Resigns From Board Of
Trustees and N. NuneS IS Elected
in His Place 49, Charter
Amendment.

A meeting of the Lusitana Society
was held on Sunday last for the pur-
pose Of electing a member of the board
of trustees in place OF NJ. V. Coito. the
only one of the newly elected officers
who refused to serve on account of his
sympathy with the faction which was
defeated.
The only candidate was NJ. Nunes,
an old and tried member of the society
and a man who was often an officer OF
the organization in years past. He was
elected to the Office without any trou.
BILE and without the least show of feel.
ing by any Of those present.
On Thursday night of this week there
Will be a meeting of the special COM
mittee to which was assigned the work
Of arranging an amendment to the
charter. The chairman of this commit.
tee is J. NJ. Vivas. The present char.
ter limits the number of years to fifty
and the capital to $4,000. As this
sum has almost been reached, 1t IL
proposed that the limit shall be raised
to 100000. There Is no doubt what.
ever that this amendment will go
through without the least trouble.
The Lusitana Society Is doing n
grand work. In its quiet way, it is
assisting hundreds and has been the
means of saving money for destitute
Portuguese. The amount paid out
yearly in benefits OF all kinds averages
S22 900 This is better showing than
can be made by any other charitable
association in the city or Territory.

, Jersey is not greatly alarmed
by the outcry against trusts
and thinks that Congress will
consider the subject deliberately before
taking action. He also thinks that the
sO-called monopolies of the present day
are relatively harmless in comparison
., with some which existed in the repub
lies early days. on this topic he says:

tic privileges such as We're formerly
granted, not only by the English par
liament, but by our own congress and
by our state legislatures. The very men
who founded the Constitution of the
United States granted charters, such.
for instance, as that of the United
States bank, which absolutely excluded
competition. The state of Virginia gave

New York granted a similar monopoly

inj,ire the industries of the country and
