NO MAN is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. If a
man has insufficient food he loses strength
II he has no food he dies. Food is CON
verified into nutrition through the stom-
ach n bowels. 1t depends on the
strength OF the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People can die OF starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
N It's associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital or
gan of the body. If the stomach is rweaks
the body will be weak also, because II is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered as
q whole, Is made up Of its several MEM
beers and organs, so the weakness Of the
BODY as q consequence of rweakp stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If the
body Is weak because it is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and Inactive,
giving rise to biliousness, loss OF appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action OF
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.
years after my health began to fail. my head
grew dizzy. eyes panied me. and my stomach

stories relating to Laramie people. The
entire book is written in the bishops
easy, entertaining, simple style. There
is nothing stilted about it from begin.

at ease and is made to feel that the
writer is not only sincere but entirely
within the realm of truth. Many of the
western scenes depicted are familiar
to thousands still in the Rocky noun
tain region and therefore the sketches
will be all the more entertaining to
them, Bishop Talbot has a happy fac
ulty Of getting very close to nature.
He has beer a keen observer N has
studied character from early boyhood.
Our home people will certainly enjoy
every sketch, but the one that will be
most thoroughly appreciated by them
is his account of a bear hunt, the Hon
Edward Ivinson being the host and
Messrs' Gramm and Grow of this city
among the guests. Since.then h big

mail carrier of Eastport, died early
yesterday morning at his home at
Eastport. Death came about a. M,
just as tho quiet hours of Sunday
morning were being ushered i'm by old

have been retired have not received
increased rank, under a ruling of

the Civil War within the meaning
of the Act of 1899.
