STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy which Has RevOIutiOniEed
. the Treatment of stomach Troubles.

A Remedy which Has RevOlutiOniEed
the Treatment of stomach Troubles.
The remedy is not heralded as a wonder
ful discovery nor yet a secret patent medi-
cine. neither is it claimed to cure anything
except dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach
troubles with which nine out Of ten suffer.
The remedy is In the form OF pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges, containing vege-
table and fruit essences, pure aseptic pepsin
Government test,) golden seal and diastase.
The tablets are sold by druggists under the
name of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Many
interesting experiments to test the digestive
power OF stuart's tablets show that one
grain Of the active principle contained in
them is sufficient to thoroughly digest 1900
grains Of raw meat, eggs and other whole
some food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after-dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply ~irritate and in
flame the intestines without having any ef-
feet whatever in digesting food or curing
indigestion.
II the stomach can be rested and assisted
in the work Of digestion II will very soon
recover its normal yigor, as no organ is so
much abused and overworked as the stom-
ach.
This is the secret, u there is any secret,
OF the remarkable success Of stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. a remedy practically un-
known a few years ago and now the most
widely known Of any treatment for stom-
Rch weakness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon it's merits as a digestive pure and
simple because there can be no stomach
trouble II the food is promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely on
the food eaten, digesting II completely. so
that Il can be assimilated into blood, nerve
and tissue. They cure dyspepsia, water
brash. sour stomach. gas and blosting after
meals, because they furnish the digestive
power which weak stomsohs lack and unless
that lack Is supplied II is useless to attempt
20 cure by the use OF tones" pills" and
eathartios which have absolutely no diges-
tive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
at all drug stores and the regular use OF
one or two OF them after meals, will de-
monstrate their merit better than any
other argument

The question of the use of the family
scat of arms veXes the American very
seriously. Originally all book plates
were heraldic. That was In an age
when people generally could not read
and when the blazon of each family, as
shown on wearing apparel or small be-
longings, was as we'll known and quick
ly distinguished as an autograph or
photograph today. In the main, 1t Is
safe to advise Americans not to use
coat armOr on their book plates. The
uncertainty of the actual right to arms
and the extreme difficulty Of getting a
drawing that one knows Is undeniably
correct in every detail are strong rea-
sons against its use. Heraldry Is too
exact q science to admit Of liberties,
and it is no small achievement to draw
the coat of arms with absolute correct
hess and yet with artistic feeling.
Though it is not very generally prac-
ticed, 1t is legal to copyright the book
plate design. At least two plates are SO
protected in this country. This would
seem to leave door open for those who
wish to secure for themselves per-
sonal distinguishing mark, quasi
heraldry, for the drawing may be in
heraldic form as well as in any other

THE PHALANX.

fits Formation In the Military Meth
DDS of Ancient Greece.
A phalanx In the military affairs OF
Greece was q square battalion or body
of soldiers formed In ranks and files
compact and deep with their shields
,oirr1 and pixies crossing each other SC
rs to render 1t almost impossible tc
break 1t. At first the phalanx consisted
of 1000 men. but this number was aft
erward doubled by Philip of Macedon
and the double phalanx Is hence often
called the Macedonian phalanx. Poly
bus describes 1t thus:
at was a square Of pikemen, con-
sisting Of 10 In flank and 500 In front.
The soldiers stood so close together
that the pixies of the fifth rank extend
ed three feet beyond the front The
rest, whose pixies were not serviceable
owing to their distance from the front.
couched them upon the shoulders of
those who stood before them and, so
locking them together in file, pressed
forward to support and push on the
former rank, by which means the as
sault was rendered more violent and
Irresistible" The spears Of those be-
hind also stopped the missiles Of the
enemy. Each mans pike was twenty
three feet long. The word phalanx is
also used for any combination Of PEG
pie distinguished for solidity and firm
ness. A grand phalanx consisted of
1884 men.
