LIFE MADE CHEERFUL.
Indigestion, Dyspepsia and Biliousness
Absolutely Cured by Blood Wine.

Nothing is more unpleasant than to 20
troubled with a stubborn stomach disor-
der Lack of appetite. inability to retain
food; pain after eating; disagreeable taste
in the mouth coated tongue yellow sln
and clouded eyes; all of these are s",aY-
toms that there Is something wrong with
the digestive organs.
II care is not exercised at once. ,ha
bowels refuse to act and constipation r.-
suits. The liver gets torpid and later Tho
whole system is affected.
Half the ills in the world are due TO IN
proper care of the stomach.
When the first symptoms of an ur-
healthy condition of the digestive organs
appear, Blood Wine should be taken rclu-
larry. Blood Wine Is mild laxative not
strong catbaruc. 1t helps the weaken
ed stomach to digest food and prepare IL
for assimilation with the blood. 1t tones
up and strengthens the entire system and
restores the blood to normal condition
of purity

the same for YOU.

what purported to be a letter written

made 10 say that the dead bodies Of the
Fihpinos lay around on all sides un-
buried. In various stages OF decOmpo-
sitlon. and that when "A Filipino dropped
"our boys all shot him seven or eight
times, so that he was covered with
blood from head Ia foot"
This story CHAINED general clrcula-
ton and was the subject Of much criti-
clsm agains. the army. The matter
was made the subject OF an official In
vestigation by Gen. Chaffee, then In
command in the Philippines, with the
result that the Story was shown 10 be
without foundation.
Private LOngtrberger, the reputed
author Of the letter. wrote 10 the COM
manding officer Of his regiment that
the story gives mistaken impression.

the letter mentioned is a member Of
his company, and his record shows
