PUTTING 1T STRONG
But Doesn't II Look Reasonable.

This may read as though We were put
ting it little strong, because it is gem
orally thought by the majority Of people
that Dyspepsia in its chronic form is
incurable or practically 50. But we have
long since shown that Dyspepsia is CUR
ABLE, nor is it such a difficult matter
as it first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics Is that
they are continually dieting. starving
themselves, or going to opposite extreme
or else deluging the already over-bur-
dened stomach with 'bltters, after din
ner pills" etc, which invariably increase
the difficulty even if IN some cases they
do give a slight temporary relief. Such
treatment of the stomach simply makes
matters worse. What the stomach wants
is a REST. Now how can the stomach
become rested, recuperated and ~. the
same time the body nourished and sus-
tanned?
This is great secret and this is also
the secret Of the uniform success of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a COM
paratively new remedy, hut its success
and popularity leave nodoupt as to its
merit.
The Tablets viii digest the food any
way, regardless Of condition Of stomach
The sufferer from Dyspepsia, according
to directions, IS TO eat an abundance Of
good, wholesome food and use the tablets
before and after each meal and the re-
suit viii be that the food will be digested,
no matter how bad your Dyspepsia may
be. beca use, as before stated, the tablets
will digest the food even if the stomach
Is wholly inactive. To illustrate our
meaning plainly, if you take 1900 grains
Of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place
il in a temperature Of 9s degrees. and put
with It one Of Stuaft's Dyspepsia Tablets
II will digest the meat or eggs almost as
perfectly as if the meat was enclosed
within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak. yet
these tablets viii perform the work OF di-
gestion and the body and brain will be
properly nourished and at the same time
a radical. lasting cure of Dyspepsia viii
be maze because the much abused stom-
ach will be given, 70 some extent. a much
needed rest. Your druggist viii tell you
that of all the many remedies advertised
10 cure Dyspepsia none of them have
given so complete and general satisfac-
ton as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. and
not least in Importance in these hard
times is the fact that they are also the
cheapest and give the most good for the
least money.

The True Religion

Christ did not come to cramp any

mAnhood. He came to fulfill it. A
thoroughgoing Christian is man
with stronger reason, kinder heart,
11rmer will and richer imagination
than his fellows-one who has attain
I'd to his height in Christ. A bigot or
Z priF or . weakling is a half-devel-
oped Christian, one not yet arrived at
full age.
What ought a Christian to read?
Nvery book which feeds the intellect.
Where ought he to go? Every place
where the moral atmosphere is pure
and bracing. What ought he to do?
Everything that will make character.
Religion Is not negative. a giving up

Death Seems TO Have Few Tsrrors In
These Oays.
The mania for seif-destruction il
on the Increase.
Life certainly presents, in most
countries, many more agreeable fea-
lures than it did generation ago.
Yet the desire to abandon it increases
yearly. The total number of suicides
is swelling enormously. Is it because
Of the greater prevalence of nervous
diseases?
An English alienist, Mr.. Styles, has
been at some pains to investigate this
subject. with wholly discouraging re-
suits. The story of his discoveries may
best be expressed in figures.
Some forty years ago the average
number of suicides was, in Sweden,
one to every $4,000 Inhabitants; In
Russia. one to every $4,000 inhab-
itants; in the United States, one to
every $4,000 inhabitants. and in the
great cities, like London and St.
Petersburg, one to every 1000 inhab-
itants. 1t is plain that we made q
dismal showing even then.
In France, chosen for illustration
because it offers the most startling
revelations, Mr.. Styles found for every
100000 inhabitants, during the years
1841 to 1875, suicides; from 1916 to
1850, 10 suicides; from 1861 to 1870,
13 suicides; from 1871 to 1875. Is sui
cides; from 1870 to 1880, II suicides;
in 1889, q suicides; in 1898, %, and in
1894, &c.
From 1926 to 1890, the proportion of
suicides in Belgium has augmented
72 per cent: in Prussia, Al per cent;
in Austria, 23S per cent; in Sweden
and Denmark, Y per cent, and 35 per
cent respectively, and in France, 81
per cent.
