STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has RevoIutionized
The Treatment Of Stomach Troubles.

A Remedy Which Has Revolutionized
the Treatment Of Stomach Troubles.
The remedy is not heralded as a
wonderful discovery nor yet a secret
patent medicine, neither is it claimed
to cure anything except dyspepsia, in
digestion and stomach troubles with
which nine out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleas
ant tasting tablets or lozenges, con-
tanning vegetable and fruit essences,
pure aseptic pepsin government
test). golden seal and diastase. The
tablets are sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
MANY interesting experiments to test
the digestive power of Starts Tablets
show that one grain Of the active prin-
ciple contained in them is sufficient to
thoroughly digest 5000 grains of raw
meat, eggs and other wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and
cheap cathartics, which simply irritate
and inf1ame the intestines without
having any effect whatever in digest
ing food or curing Indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and
assisted in the work of digestion 1t will
very soon recover its normal vigor,
as no organ is so much abused and
overworked as the stomach.
This is the secret iffthere is any Sc
.cret, of the remarkable success of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, remedy
practically unknown a few years ago.
and now the most widely known ofsany
treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon its merits as digestive
pure and simple, because there can be
no stomach trouble if the food is
promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten, digesting 1t
completely, so that it can be assimi-
lated into blood, nerve and tissue.
They cure dyspepsia, water brash.

meals, because they furnish the. diges-
tive power which weak stomachs lack
and unless that lack is supplied 1t Is
useless to attempt to cure by the use

which have absolutely no digestive
power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the regu-
lar use of one or two Of them after
meals will demonstrate their merit
better than any other argugment.

Freedom of the Press Involved
in the Heath Will
Case
EDITOR MAY BE SUMMONED
Judge jackson, of Muscatine, Declares
to Jury That He Believed Editorial
in the Iowa City Republican Was
an Act in Contempt of court-De-
veIopments Eagerly Awaited.
Special to Times-Republican

Special to Times Republican,
Iowa City, Oct. "A sensation in the
Heath will case the case of many sem
sations, was sprung last night when
Judge Jackson, of Muscattne, who is
holding court in the place Of Judge By
ington, declared to the jury that he
believed an editorial in the Iowa City
Republican, in which he strongly fav-
ored the plaintiff in the case, to be an
act in contempt of court and must not
enter into their decision. Editor Brant
himself, who is widely known in the
state as a prominent republican poll
tician, was not summoned before the
court last night, but 1t is believed
that he will be today and that Judge
Jackson will attempt to punish him for
his alleged contempt.
The case is without precedent in To-
cal history, and it is expected that Mr..
Brant will make great fight before
he will submit to what is alleged would
be a serious infringement of the lib
erty OF the press. The case involves
nearly 100000, which the late Colonel
Heath left to his daughter under Pc
culiar conditions. She is attempting
to break the will and the editorial IN
question says in regard to the mat
ter:
without questioning the legal right
or the mental ability of the late Col.
Heath to make such a will as he left.
still it would seem that there ought to
be some rule of law to prevent SUCH an
unnatural distribution of property. Col.
Heath had a good wife and he loved
her and his daughter and they had no
small part in earning the property
that he left. At least they made him
a happy home and cared for him until
his wife was called to her reward. Then
the daughter helped her father and
made him home. True, in law 1t was
his money, but in equity it should be
his DAUGHTERS now that he no longer
can use It."
This is the free criticism that Judge
Jackson thinks might be contempt OF
court and the local bar who heard the
directions to the jury are divided as to
whether Brant as an editor can be
made to suffer for this expression OF
his opinion. Brant himself has made
no statement as yet and it is not De-
lieved he will do so unless the court
attempts to punish him for his alleged
contempt. In that event it is said that
he will fight the matter to the limit be-
.lieving that the freedom of the en-
tire newspaper world depends upon the
principle involved. Developments in
the matter are eagerly awaited here
today.
