NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA. :,
A CURE FOR ALL.
Not Patent Cure-AIi. Nor Modern
Miracle, But Simply Rational
Cure for Dyspepsia.

In these days of humbuggery and de-
ception, the manufacturers of patent
medicines, as rule, seem to think
their medicines will not sell unless
they claim that it will cure every dis
ease under the sun. And they never
think of leaving out dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. They are sure to
claim that their nostrum is absolutely
certain to cure every dyspeptic and he
needs look no further, .-'-F
In the face Of these absurd claims 1t
is refreshing to note that the proprie-
tors Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have carefully refrained from making
any undue claims or false representa-
tons regarding the merits of this most
excellent remedy for dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. They make but one
claim for it, and that Is, that for indt-
gestion, and various stomach troubles,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a radical
cure. They go no further than this, and
any man or woman suffering from in
digestion, chronic or nervous dyspep-
STA, who will give the remedy a trial,
will find that nothing is claimed for 1t
that the facts will not fully sustain.
1t is a modern discovery, composed
Of harmless vegetable ingredients ac-
ceptable to the weakest or most deli
cate stomach. It's great success in
curing stomach troubles is due to the
fact that the medicinal properties are
such that it will digest whatever Who'll
some food is taken into the stomach,
no matter whether the stomach is in
good working order or no. 1t rests the
overworked organ and replenishes the
body, the blood, the nerves, creating
a healthy appetite, giving refreshing
sleep and the blessings which always
accompany a good digestion and prop
err assimilation of food.
In using Stua,t's Dyspepsia Tablets
no dieting is required. Simply eat
plenty of wholesome food and take
these tablets at each meal, thus assist
ing and resting the stomach, which
rapidly regains its proper digestive
power when the tablets will be no
longer required.
Nervous dyspepsia is simply con-
dition in which some portion or por-
tons of the nervous system are not
prperly nourished. Good digestion in
vigorates the nervous system and ev-
cry organ in the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by all druggists at so cents per pack
age.

Mrs. Keith of Worcester Speaks in
East Haven.
On Sunday Mrs. Ella Keith of Wor-
cester, superintendent of the work of
the w. G. r.. U, among railroad men,
spoke before the congregation of the
Old Stone church in East Haven. The
addresses were given in the Turn hall
owing to the fact that repairs are in
progress on the furnace of the church
50 that the church building could not
be heated
/ In the forenoon Mrs. Keith delivered
a very delightful address. She also
spoke before the Sabbath school. In
the evening she addressed the Christian
Endeavor society meeting.
She gave an entertaining account of
the efforts made in the interests of
railroad men whenever they need help
ing hands OF Christian women. She
visits them in the hospitals and sends
them flowers. Whenever they are ill
she gives comforts and substantial aid
to the families. IT,.
On Monday afternoon Mrs. Keith
gave another lecture in the lecture
room of the chapel. She served nine
different kinds of food of which she
prepared three in a chatting dish. 1T is
known that men are led to drink be-
cause of poorly cooked food at home,
and this means is taken by the w. G.
Il. U. for instructing women in cooking.
Mrs. Keith is a bright, interesting
speaker and the ladies were pleased as
well as instructed by her endeavors.

why DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Here Given TO Explain
Why Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Com
pound Cures When Doctors Are P0werlesst

/ Awomanis sick; some disease peculiar
to her sex is fast developing in her sys-
tenn. She goes to her family physician
and tells him story, but not the whole
story. a.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely Inystifes the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctors fail to cure the disease? Still
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some Of the
symptoms of her suffering, even to her
family physician.
Itwas for this reason that years age
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, de-
termined to step in and help her sex.
Having had considerable experience in
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound, she encouraged the women
of America to write to her for advice in
regard to their complaints, and being a
woman, it was easy for her ailing sis
tiers to pour into her ears every detail
of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for
them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who
sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that many thou
sands of them have been cured by
following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which are produced by
her uneaualed experience and training.
No physician in the world has had
such a training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to
the most complicated womb diseases,
This, therefore, is the reason why
Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, is able to do more for the
ailing women of America than the
family physician. Amy woman, there
fore, is responsible for her own suffer-
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con.
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond a doubt the
power Of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to conquer female diseases.

Wilton Lackaye and Supporting Com

The immense success which has at
tended the production Of 1.-THE Pit
with Wilton Mackaye in the principal
role, since its initial presentation. was
heightened last night by an exceptions
al audience at the Hyperion.
This play of strenuous life, dealing
as II does with the scenes and actions
precedent and attendant upon a day of
terror in the great Chicago wheat pit
is brimful of FIRE, action and lessons.
The forgetting Of everything, home,
wife and love, all for business Is strik-
ingly shown and finally comes the
crash where millions are lost and man
sions are substituted for cabins.
Mr.. Lackaye was superb in the char
acter of Curtis Jadwin. the wheat king,
and Jane Oaker as Laura Dearborn did
some excellent work. The entire COM
pany and scenery were In keeping with
the principals and the reception ac-
corded was generous.
