AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.
So Thinks At Least One Travelling
Man.

| would as soon think of starting out
without my mileage books and grip as
TO start out on a trip without a box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in my
valise, said a travelling man who rep
rcsents a st. Louis hardware house.
Why? Because l have to put up at all
kinds of hotels and boarding houses
have to eat good, bad and indiffer-
ent food at all hours of the day and
night and l don't believe any mans
stomach will stand that sort of thing
without protest. anyway l know mine
won't. 1t has to have something t.
break the fall and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets is the crutch l fall back on.
My friends often josh me about it
tell me I'm an easy mark for patent
medicine takers, that advertised medi-
cines are humbugs, etc, but I notice
that they are nearly always complain
ing of their aches and pains ana poor
digestion, while l can stand. most any
old kind of fare and feel good and
ready for my work when it needs me
and l believe 1 owe my good digestion
and sound health to the daily. regular
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, year
in and year out, and all the 'joshing"
in the world will never convince me to
the contrary.
l used to have heartburn about three
times a day and a headache about three
or four times a week and after stand
ing this for four or five years / be-
gan to look around for a crutch and
found it when my doctor told me the
best investment / could make would
be a fifty cent box of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, and l have invested about
fifty cents a month for them ever since
and when l stop to think that that is
what l spend very day for cigars, I
feel like shaking hands with myself for
l can keep my stomach and digestion
in first class order for fifty cents
month. l don't care for any better life
insurance.
My druggist tells me they are the
most popular of all stomach medicines
and that they have maintained their
popularity and success because they do
as advertised. They bring results. and
results are what count i'm patent
medicine as much as in selling barb
wire. 1880

DR.. Seth T. Paine, husband of the
previous witness, was next called. He
| is a dentist and does business at Ba-
tavia. He said he had been in the
habit of coming to Buffalo to visit his
family two or three times Il week. He
was in Buffalo on the Monday preced-
ing the murder and went back to Ba-
tavia on the following morning. He
was in Buffalo again on the following
Saturday.
On the night of the murder he was
in Batavia. Burdick never loaned him

dicks lawyer. Burdick told Mr.. Parke
about the trouble with his wife about
Christmas time. Mr.. Burdck told him
he did not blame Mrs. Burdck SO much

shown him every consideration and
that Pencil had promised to get out

he lost patience, and the divorce suit
was to go on.
Then the man who made all the
trouble was Pennell?" Yes"
Did he say he was afraid of PEN
