But It Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.
Common sense would suggest that If
one wishes to become tleshy and plump
1t can only result from the food we ear
and digest and that food should be al
luminous or flesh forming food, like
eggs, beefsteak and cereals; in other
words, the kinds of foods 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 assimlate
II, which is the reason why so many
people remain thin and underweight;
the digestive organs do not completely
digest the flesh-forming beefsteak and
eggs and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, altho they
may have no particular pain or incon-
Senience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their pref
Udices aside and make a regular prac-
tice of taking after each meal, one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly
digested, because these table>s contain
the natural peptones and diastase which
every weak stomach lacks, and by sup
plying this want the stomach is soon
enabled to regain its natural tone and
yigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every form of tlesh-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

Of any remedy for stomach troubles be-
cause it is the most reasonable and

Knoxville, Jan. 5.-The wounded man
VINO was shot near Hamilton Friday
/ evening while robbing p. Sullivan, lies
! here in the Jail in critical condition,
and Dr. Cornell, who has been attend
| ing him, fears that blood poison will set
! in at any time, as is often the case IN
sunshot wounds. Jailor j. d. Farmer,
who spent a large part of Sunday with
the prisoner, says that he absolutely
refused to divulge any names. and pro-
fesses to know nothing of his accom-
plices. whose whereabouts are still I'M
known. Sheriff Bybee went to Mt.
Pleasant Sunday, but no clue of the es-
Gaping robbers has been found. Jailor
Farmer, who has spent much time with
the captive at Knoxville, is inclined to
believe that the wounded man is not
ed and experienced bandit, and that his
story to the effect that this was his
first attempt at robbery, is simply a
plea for leniency. Every feature of his
indicates that he has always been a
man of leisure and accustomed to ex-
travagant living. His clothes are OF ex-
cellent quality and his hands are soft
and white as woman's. His left cheek
Is badly lacerated and blood oozes out
constantly. Unless the wound begins
healing soon the physicians say he can
not live
The officers are keeping close watch
over him, and no one has been allowed
near his cell.
One of the clues that may lead to the
arrest of one of the escaped burglars is
the fact that the wounded man called
the other by the name of Jim" How
ever, this may have been an assumed
name to throw the officers off the
track.
The amount of money secured by the
burglars was about $500. of which
S240 belonged to P. Sullivan; the re-
mainder was Mrs. Sullivan's. The ST.
$50, which was in an envelope in the
closet, was part of the purchase price
of Mrs. Sullivan's farm, which she sold
a few days ago. It was left in the bank
of Bussey for her and last Saturday
was drawn out and taken to her home
intending to deposit it in the Lovilla
bank, where she has her account. She
had intended to deposit 1t Friday, but
failed to do so. She had placed it in an
envelope and secreted 1t in the closet
where the burglar found it after forcing
her to tell where 1t was. In her pock-
etbook was about $3.50. but the amount
was not exactly known.
