if You Have Dyspepsia, Read This.

The old way of taking pepsin,
 bismuth, etc., to cure dyspepsia is all wrong. They may be put up in
 tablets or in liquid, the result is
 just the same. The object is to create artificial digestion, but this does not make a cure. Stop taking the pepsin, etc., and you have your dyspepsia or indigestion back again.
 People use cocaine and opium for nervous troubles and sick head ache; it does not cure; stop taking the drugs and the pain and distress return. The only common sense method is to drive out of the svs- tenn the cause of dyspepsia and sick headache, by cleansing the stomach and bowels, and at the same time using a medicine that acts on the liver. This forces through the glands of the stomach the di- gestive fluid that nature intended. In this way you cure dyspepsia. The medicine that cures dyspepsia by this method is called Dr. Gunn's Improved Liver Pills. Druggists sell these pills at 25c per box. It only takes one pill for dose. For sale by the c. A.

DEATH OF ED TEWKSBURY
Last of the Principals of the Gra-
 ham-Tewksbury Feud

Edward Tewksbury, the last of the principals in the Tewksbury- Graham war of 1889, died in the county hospital Thursday night, April 2l, says the Globe Silver Belt. He had been a paralytic for some time and his death was hast ened by pulmonary consumption. He left wife and three children. In 1892, Tom Graham, the last member of that family who partic- ipated in the war, was shot from ambush and killed near Tempe. Ed Tewksbury was arrested charged with the crime. and indicted After a sensational trial at Phoenix, dur ing which the widow of Graham at tempted to shoot Tewksbury, and threats of lynching were made, Tewksbury was found guilty on evidence that was wholly circum- stantial and by many considered insu fficient.
 On an error the court set aside the verdict and Tewksbury secured a change of venue to Pima county. After trial in which the jury dis agreed, and confinement in the Tucson jail for upwards of a year, the charge against Tewksbury was dismissed and he was given his liberty. The reason for dismissal was that the case had been a very expensive one and there seemed to be no prospect of securing a con- viction.
 The case engendered a good deal of feeling, and to this day the par tisans of the respective factions are as firmly fixed in their opinion of Tewksbury's innocence or guilt of the murder of Graham as they were at the time of the first trial of the case.
