THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself Of Serious Stomach
Trouble, by Getting Down to First
Principles.

A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent eastern cities, by too close
attention to business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners. finally be-
gan to pay natures tax. levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble: the
failure of his digestion brought about a
nervous irrltability. making it jmpos-
sible to apply himself to his daily bust
ness. and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart
In his own words he says: II con-
suited one physician after another and
each ore seemed to understand my
case. but all tte same they each failed
to bring about the retuAn of my former
digestion, appetite and vigor. For two
| years ! WENT from pillar to post, from
one sanitarium to another, I gave up
smoking, l quit coffee and even re-
nounced my daily glass or two of beer,
hbut without any marked Improvement.
Friends had often advised me to try
a well-known proprietary medicine
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and I have
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments of the remedy, but never took
airy stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe fifty-cent patti nt medi-
| cine would touch my case.
ITO make long story short finally
bought a couple of PACKAGES at the
nearest drug store and took two OF
three tablets after each meal. and &C.
casionaly a tablet between meals
when 1 felt any feeling of nausea OF
| discomfort.
| II was surprised at the end Of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general
health. and before the two packages
were gone I was certain that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets were going to cure
completely. and they did not disappoint
me. I can eat and sleep and enjoy my
coffee and cigar. and no one would
suppose l had ever known the horrors
Of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity wrote tC
the proprietors Of the remedy asking
| for inforrna ton as to what the tablets
contained. and they replied that the
principal ingredients We're aseptic pep
sin government test. malt diastast
and other natural digestives. which
digest food regardless of the condition
Of the stomach
The root Of the matter is this. the di.
gestive elements contained in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food
give the overworked stomach a chance
i to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the nourishment which
can only come from food: stimulants
and nerve tonics never give rea
strength. they give fictitious
strength, invariably followed by reac-
ton. Every drop of blood. every nerve
and tissue is manufactured from oul
daily food. and if you can insure its
prompt action and complete digestion
! by the regular use of so good and
| wholesome a remedy as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, you will have no need
Of nerve tonics and sanitariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only few
| wears. yet probably every druggist iT
the United States. Canada and Grea'
britain now sells them and consider:
them the most popular and successful
of any preparation for stomach trouble

anywhere below the middle of the up
per arm or below the middle of the
thigh may be easily stopped by tour

Of this implement, which may be al
ways found ready to hand, is a linen
handkerchief and n strong stick. The
best place to apply the tourniquet for
q wound Of the arm is above the ell
bow, where the pulsations of an ar

The handkerchief should be tied
around the arm rather loosely; the
stick is thrust in and turned to tighten
It until the blood ceases to flow. OF
course this is only temporary relief
till the coming Of the doctor, who, in
case of serious bleeding, must be sum-

neer, who at once stopped and it was
found that nearly every man in the
party on the cars had been overcome
by the gas and sulphur which emanat-

and f1oated back over them. The en-
gineer at once crowded on all steam
possible and the unconscious men
were hurried to the Williamstown end
of the tunnel. Every possible effort
to resuscitate them failed.

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
MAYOR M'LANE OF BALTIMORE
DRIVEN INSANE BY cRlTl-
clsM AND WORRY.

Baltimore, May 31.-Mayor Robert
M. McLane of this city shot and killed
himself at his home Monday after
noon in his bedroom at his residence,
No. 20 West Preston street. His bride
of less than two weeks was at the
time of the tragedy asleep in an ad-
joining room, and was awakened by
the discharge of the revolver, which
Mr.. McI4ane evidently fired while
standing before themirror ofthe dress
ing case. The bullet entered the right
temple and crashing through the head
escaped in the rear of the left ear.
Mrs. McLane and other members of
the household rushed to the mayors
assistance, but he did not regain
consciousness after he fell to the floor,
ahd expired within an hour.
No cause can be assigned for the
act by the members of Mr.. McLane's
family. Since the fire of last Feb
rTiary he has been kept assiduously at
work administering the affairs of the
city, besides endeavoring to direct the
rehabilitation and rebuilding of the
burned district. This, together with
criticisms by his political opponents,
are thought by many to have caused
q temporary alteration of mind.
Mayor Mc!4ane was thirty-six years
of age, the youngest chief executive
Baltimore ever had.
