ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But II Has Proven of Interest and VAL
ue to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that il
one wishes to become fieshy and plump
it can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be
albuminous or flesh forming food, like
eggs, beefsteak and cereals; in other
words the kinds of food that make flesh
are the foods which form the greater
part of our daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork,
does not properly digest and assimilate
it. which is the reason SO many people
remain thin and under weight: the di-
gestive organs do not completely digest
the flesh forming bcefsteak and eggs
and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or
inconvenience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their pre-
JUDGES aside and make a regular prac-
tice of taking, after each meal one or
two or Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly
digested, because these tablets contain
| the natural peptones and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks. and
by supplying this want the stomach is
soon enabled to regain its natural tone
and vigor
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every form of flesh forming food meat.
eggs, bread and potatoes. and this is
the reason they so quickly build up.
strengthen and invigorate thin, dys-
peptic men, women and children.
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong. irritating
drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful in
gredient.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
most successful and most widely known
of any remedy for stomach troubles be-
cause it is the most reasonable and
scientific of modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by every druggist in the United States
and Canada as we'll as in; Great Britain,
at so cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is required to cure
any stomach trouble or to make thin.
nervous dyspeptic people strong, plump
and well.

King Oscar H., who has been on the
throne of Sweden for 80 years, is sick
with what all reports say is sure to be
his last illness. His age is "a and his
administration of affairs on the great
Scandinavian peni' sula has been an
eminently wise and successful one. His
tastes are scholarly and in all rela-
tions he has been the cultured Chris
tian gentleman with no stain upon his
public or private life. His son, Prince
Gustaf, who will succeed him is As
years of age. This country has every
reason for particularly kindly feelings
toward Sweden for that kingdom

immigrants who seek our shores, peo-

peIate, and intelligent and who be-
come good and useful citizens. There

The latest issue of the Bowdoin
Orient contains some statistics of great
interest to Bowdoin men everywhere.
A table has been compiled, which in
clude then following colleges, Amherst,
Bowdoin, Brown, Dartmouth, Trinity
and Wesleyan, to show the proportion
of those students who enter the col
leges above named who do not complete
their college course. BowdOn is the
only college in the table that has strict
entrance examinations, with that as
the only way of being admitted to the
college, and AS a result while the num-
ber of students enrolled in the college
do not reach the figures of some of the
ether colleges, the number of students
who drop out during their course is de-
cldedly smaller, because while the av-
erage for the last ton years shows that
only 1898 of those who enter at Bow
doin drop out during their course, the
figures for the other colleges are as fol-
lows: Amherst 1879: Brown, 25.45:
Dartmouth, 26.6,; Trinity, $3.50 and
Wesleyan, 2G.97. Thus it will be seen
that Bowdoin stands high above the
other leading New England colleges in
the proportion of students who enter
the college who complete their course.

The General Prevalence Of Typhoid.
feb11d1w

1t is not only in this section that ty-
phoid fever is raging in an unaccount-
able and almost unprecedented man
ner, this winter. The great prevalence
of the disease in this city and also in
Watervillc. and to lesser degree in
other Maine cities, has caused no little
alarm and should be an incentive to all
persons to safeguard their health by
every possible means, but apprehen-
sion as to local conditions is some
what allayed by the knowledge that
the disease is reaching an epi4emic
stage, this winter in other parts of the
country. In Ithaca, New York, for in
stance, city only a little larger than
Augusta, there are now over $50 cases
of typhoid fever and the disease is of
a very dangerous type. There are 40
cases in the hospital connected with
Cornell University, and several deaths
have occurred there. AS a rule the
students have suffered to a less extent
than the townspeople and the physi-
clans urge all who have the first signs
of the disease to leave Ithaca on ac-
count of the crowded condition of the
local hospitals.
In Philadelphia the worst typhoid
epidemic for many years is now rag
ing. During last week 1923 new cases
and 23 deaths were reported to the To-
cal board of health of that city, MAX
ing 1882 cases and 81 deaths reported
since January l. The Philadelphia
Press says there are now $500 cases in
the city. In both of those cities
the prevalence of the disease is
attributed to the drinking water. The
heavy winter rains which have pre-
vailed in Pennsylvania have stirred up
the mud in the Schuylkill's tributaries
and the water served in Philadelphia
ranges from a delicate ochre to a red
dish black. The board of health is
all water boiled before it is used. In
Ithaca the water supply comes from
several small streams which flow
through villages, receiving their waste
and sewage, and the state department
of health is taking prompt steps to
prevent this contamination.
Indianapolis and Cleveland are two
cities now suffering from a typhoid
edidemic, and in both New York and
has gone much higher than usual,
though it has hardly reached the epi-
denlic stage. Speaking of the spread of
typhoid through a polluted water sup
ply a New York medical paper says
Thus while typhoid is sixth among
known causes of death in the entire
country, it is only fourteenth in the
registration area of cities and towns
which have fairly efficient health regu-
lations, and in these places the rate of
death from this cause has greatly de-
creased since 1896. Typhoid is not
highly dangerous. Under modern
methods of treatment less than six per
hundred of all cases should die from
it; and it is absolutely preventable.
The easy and ordinary precaution of
boiling all drinking water and all milk
used would probably have prevented
of the cases even where it
is now most prevalent

The Massachusetts Legislature has
defeated bill similar to the one now

Daily Kennebec journal., 1903-02-11

The fact that over5000 more votes were
cast at last Tuesdays special election
in Vermont than at the last presi-
dental election in that state, rather
disproves the assertion, made in several
papers OF late, that the election was not
a fair and complete expression OF
opinion.
