Is Your Stomach ON a Strike?

not offend Nature, but, on the contrary, follow
in her footsteps
you are incredulous place an egg cut into
small pieces in tumbler, fill with hot water,
put in one Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablet, maintain
temperature of 9s degrees (bloodheat) for three
hours and the egg will be as completely digested
as 1t would have been in healthy stomach.
What it will do in tumbler, 1t will certainly do
in stomach.
Very few people are free ffGm some form of
indigestion, but scarcely two will have the same
symptoms. Some will suffer will, distress after
eating bl0ating from gas in tho stomach and
bowels others from acid dyspepsia or heartburn,
others papitation or headaches, sleeplessness,
pains In chest and under shoulder blades ex-
treme nervousness, as in nervous dyspepsia. but
they all have the same cause, |. e., failure to
digest what is eaten.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give the stomach
absolute rest and assistance, and Immediately
do away with these disagreeable symptoms. At
the same time the Tablets are absolutely harm
less; a child can take them with benefit AS an
instance Of the marvellous cures effected by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets observe the following:
Mrs. Sarah A Skeel, Lynnvlle, Jasper Co.,
Mo-, says: "After using only one package OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets received such great
1 and unexpected benefit that wish to express
my sincere gratitude In fact it has been six
} months since took the package, and have not
4 had one particle of distress or difficulty since.

ME-. WEAVER AND THE SPOKANE.

Editor Press: According to Man
ager Dan l.. Weaver of the Spokane
theater the building is comparatively
safe from fire. But l think anyone
who has attended a performance there
has noticed the limited space given
for exits. The main entrance, which
is not large enough by a long way.
and two little doors on each side Of
the building are the only exits. If
a fire should start during an evening s
performance there would be very lit
tie chance of anyone escaping with
their lives. Mayor Boyd will have
done a good deed when he orders all
public buildings inspected.

TEN CENTS A MEAL.

Editor Press: 1t strikes me that
Captain McClelland of the Ondawa
inn has solved the question of cheap
living in this town. People say that
living is higher here than in any other
place, but where can you go and get
as good a meal for 10 cents as you
can at the Ondawa inn? Clean and
wholesome food is served there and it
is said that there is a profit Of
cent on each meal, which leaves the
captain fair margin for his labor.

When we consider the cruel abuse the average
American gives his stomach, we cease to wonder
why that faithful and industrious organ goes on
q strike Performing the hardest labor, taking
care of partially chewed and indigestible food,
working overtime-no eight hour day by any
means-the stomach is taxed to its utmost, and
sooner or later there is always trouble. The re-
lation between it and the other vital organs OF
the human anatomy is extremely intimate, and
unless the strike is called off a sympathetic
movement on the part of the blood, the heart,
the liver, ETC., is sure to result.
You get run down, become thin and emaciat-
ed, have no appetite, suffer distress after eating
and are in just the condition to contract almost
any serious disease.
No need to despair. An ever effective RENE.
dy is within your reach. Not one which steals
the stomachs job and inficts permanent injury
and suffering. No; Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are worthy substitute. They step right in, in
the time of need, perform the stomach's work by
the identical agencies 1t employs and give the
digestive organs holiday for rest and recu-
peration.
Remember however that an ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound Of cure, and get into
the habit Of taking Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablet
after each meal.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not secret
nostrum, panaeea for all ailments. They are

of the digestive fluids of the stomach. They do
