SOUR STOMACH Acid Dyspepsia.

ing the stomach with gas and q bitter.
sour. burning tastc in the mouth Is Of
ten present. This condition soon be-
comes chronic. and being an every lay
occurrence. is given bat little atten-
tion. Because Dyspepsia is not imme-
diately iatal. many people 10 nothing
for the trouble
It is now well known among able
physicians thar The whole constitution
is gradually undermined and weakened,
that the nerves and vital organs arc
seriously affected by any form of dys-
pepsia. This is plain, as every organ.
every nerve i1 the body Is uourished by
the blood, and the blood is repienished
from she food diEcsted. IN the food i5
properly digested the blood is pure. the
nerves steady. but 90 supplied from a

blood ls vitated poisoned and the re-
suit is shown in sleeUlcssuess. lack Of
energy. poor appetite nervousness.
Every trinc is manifed and the dys-
peptiC sees nothing but the dark side
or everything
Within @ recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely TO cure
dyspepsia aud stomach troubles. 10 is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
and it is now becoming rapidly used
and prescribed as q radical cure Tor
every form OF dyspepsia.
Tt is not claimed 90 cure anything eN-
cept dyspepsia and stomach weakness

been shown Co be uuequalcd The emi-

recently stated that they considered
St--rt's Dyspepsia Tablets an unlaillng
specific. for disorders % the digestive
orvaus. and the remarkable cures made
sn cases Of long standing dyspepsia
proves That this remedy has eUtraor-
diuary merit
Sluart-s Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at 50 cents

Dietetic Difficulties.

Readers of Don QuiXote will recGN
the meal at which Sancho Panza, while
Governor of Barataria, found that ev-
erything he desired was whisked
away at the bidding Of the PHYSICIANS
wand until the table was cleared Of
all that was eatable. Doctor Martin,
in his book, "A Cycle of Cathay," tells
of an experience he had in a Chinese
hotel; it was singularly similar to that
which befell Sancho. The Doctor says:
Many of the inns are kept by Mo
hammedans, as | learned to my cost
One day when my servant had set the
table, and | was about to begin my
breakfast with slice Of ham, the inn
keeper appeared, and implored me by
all that was sacred to abstain from
pork, for his sake is not for my own.
Sending it away, addressed my
self to a piece Of corned beef. To this
the host also objected, saying that the
COW was a sacred beast.
To spare his feelings, said | would
break my fast on bread and butter.
Not on butter, beseech you" he
exclaimed; butter, too, is forbidden.
Nv dishes have not been creased with
1t for five years
Swallowing my dry morsel with a
cup of tea, left the place. resolving
the next time to steer clear of an inn
keeper encumbered by such combina'
ton OF preiudices.
