MOST DASTARDLY ASSAULT
BY Two Unknown Men Upon Woman
at Webster, Mass.

Boston. Sept 1S.-A Webster. Mass,
dispatch to the Herald says: Mrs. Helen
Wisnisk of North Webster. was the vic
tim of one of the most dastardly acts,
last night, that has occurred in this sec
ton for some time, and as a result she is
in a precarious condition
Mrs WiSniSki had been visiting friends
In East Webster. She started to go home,
about SO. by the back road that leads
to North Webster, where she resides
with her husband and small children.
When about half way, she was stopped
by two men. evidently tramps, and after
some conversation that the woman failed
to understand. was hurled to the ground
and assaulted. The men picked up the
unconscious woman and carried her to a
ditch to throw her into it.
Just then a crowd of small boys came
along The men dropped their senseess
victim and started on run toward Wor-
cester. The boys followed. but We're UNI
able to catch the men. Returning, they
assisted the woman to her feet and helped
her home. She was in very weak and
nervous condition, and hardly able to
walk.
At 3 o'clock this morning. six hours
after the assault, Mrs. Wisniski gave
premature birth to a child. The child is
dead. There are no clues to the two men.

FREE TO MILLIONS.
A Valuable Little Book Sent Free tor
the Asking.

Medical books are not always inter-
esting reading, especially to people en-
joying good health, but as a matter OF
fact, scarcely one person In 10 is per-
fectly healthy, and even with SUCH,
sooner or later sickness must come
1t is also a well established truth
that nine-tenths of all diseases origi-
nate with a break down of the diges-
ton; a weak stomach weakens and
impoverishes the system, making IL
easy for disease to gain foothoid.
Nobody need fear consumption, kid
pey disease, liver trouble or weak
heart and nervous system as long as
the digestion is good and the stomach
able to assimilate plenty of wholesome
food.
Stomach weakness shows itself in a
score of ways and this little book de-
scribes the symptoms and causes and
points the way to cure so simple that
anyone can understand and apply.
Thousands have some form of
stomach trouble and do not know it.
They ascribe the headaches, the Ian
guor, nervousness, insomnia, palpita-
ton, constipation and similar symp-
toms to some other cause than the true
one Get your digestion on the right
track and the heart, trouble, lung
trouble, liver disease or nervous de-
bility will rapidly disappear.
This little book treats entirely on the
cause and removal of indigestion and
its accompanying annoyances.
1t describes the symptoms of Acid
Dyspepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow
Dyspepsia, Amylaceous Dyspepsia, Ca
tarrh of stomach and all affections
of the digestive organs in plain Ian
guage easily understood and the cause
removed.
1t gives valuable suggestions as to
diet, and contains a table giving length
of time required to digest various ar
ticles of food, something every person
with weak digestion should know.
No price is asked, but simply send
your name and address plainly written
on postal card to the +. A. Stuart Co,
Marshall, Mich, requesting a little
book on Stomach Diseases and it will
be sent promptly by return mail.
