PUTTING 1T STRONG,
But Doesn't 1t Look Reasonable,

This may read as though we were
putting it little strong, because it is
generally thought by the majority of
people that dyspepsia i'm it's chronic
form is incurable or practically so. But
we have long since shown that dyspep-
STA is durable, nor is 1t such a difficult
matter as at first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex-
IRENE or else deluging the already over
burdened stomach with '.bitters, -
after dinner pills. ETC., which inva-
riably increase the difficulty even if in
some cases they do give a slight tenn
porary relief. Such treatment of the
stomach simply makes matters worse.
What the stomach wants is rest Now
how can the stomach become rested, re-
cuperated and at the same time the
body nourished and sustained.
This is a great secret and this is also
the secret of the uniform success of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a
comparatively new remedy but its sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as
to its merit.
The tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia accord
dance of good wholesome food and use
the tablets before and after each meal
and the result will be that the food
Will be digested no matter how bad
your dyspepsia may be, because, as be-
fore stated. the tablets will digest the
food even II the stomach is wholly in
active. To illustrate our meaning
plainly. If you take / 800 grains of meat,
eggs or ordinary food and place il in a
temperature of 9S degrees. and put with
II one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
II will digest the meat or eggs almost
as perfectly as II the meat was en-
closed within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak yet
these tablets will perform the work OF
digestion and the body and brain will
be properly nourished and at the same
time radical. lasting cure OF dyspep-
STA VIII be made because the much
abused stomach viii be given. to some
extent. a much needed rest Your
druggist will tell you that OF all the
many remedies advertised 10 cure dys-
pepsia, none Of them have given so
complete and general satisfaction as

A SUBTLE POINT.
"Nice, Sharp outlets of the Law"
Invoked in Watson Case.


Col. Robert L. Colding returned to
the city yesterday morning from At
lanta, where he argued the case of
Cicero Watson in the Supreme Court.
Watson was recently convicted In
Chatham Superior Court of the offense
of shooting at another not in his own
defense under an indictment for muir
der. Col Colding filed a motion in ara
rest of judgment, based upon the con-
tention that under the law the only
offenses the defendant could have
been legally convicted under the in
dictment in the case were murder or
manslaughter,a and inasmuch as the jury
had found that Watson was not guilty
of the offense of murder nor man.
slaughter, the verdict of the jury was
in its effect an acquittal.
Judge Barrow, before whom the case
was tried, does not agree with coun-
sci for the defendant in his contention,
and insists that shooting at another
not in his own defense is merged in
the offense of murder when it is alleged
the same was the result of a pistol
shot wound, and has written a very
able and elaborate opinion citing
numerous authorities to sustain his po-
sition.
In order to convince the Supreme
Court of the soundness of his position,
Col. Colding's argument was largely an
attempt on his part to show thar,
Notwithstanding the very able brief
prepared by the court in his order
overruling the motion, that the de-
PENDANTS position is correct and that
Watson should be liberated.
The point is a very close as we'll as
a very novel one, and the decision in
the case will be awaited with much in
terest, it being hard to determine at
this time just which way the Supreme
Court will beside the question. Col
Colding feels that his position is we'll
taken, and the judge, after a careful
research of the authorities in the case
is equally positive that there is moth
ing in the point.
