RCxai4 DYSPEPSIA TABkETs


The remarkable success of
Rexail Dyspepsia Tablets is
largely due to the new and sue
cessful method OF manufacture,
whereby the well known prop
critics Of Bismuth Subnltrate
and Pepsin have been combined
with carminitives and other
agents.
Bismath Subnitrate and Pep
sin are recognized by the entire
medical profession as specifics
for acute indigestion or chronic
dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used is manufac-
tured under a new process
which develops its greatest eff
fciency. Pepsin not only sup
plies to the digestive machinery
one of the most important ele-
ments of the digestive fluid, but
it seems to exert a tonic infiu-
ence upon the glands which
supply all the other elements.
The carminitives add prop.
critics which promptly relieve
pains caused by undigested food
The combination of the whole
makes a remedy absolutely in
valuable to any man or woman
suffering from dyspepsla-and
not only remedy, but a e~rl
which works by gradually re
building and stimulating h
glands which perform the di
gestive functions. Package, 25c

me First Duels Are Said to Have
Been Fought In Italy.
The first duels were fought In Italy,
according to Millingen, who speaks Of
a manuscript discovered at Cassel and
describes duel between a father and
a son in the reign Of the Emperor The
odoric. When Charlemagne forbade
wager of battle among the Lombards
he encountered the fiercest opposition
from the mobiles. Early in the ninth
century De Medicis, a knight, defeated
In single combat the bandit Mugel,
who devastated the Florentine district
now called after him, Mugello. Ohio
IL. granted the prayer of the nobility
for the re-establishment of wager Of
battle in 9SS. Women and priests
were not compelled to accept it. The
Normans showed less gallantry. With
them woman had to accept, nor could
she name champion. Her male OPP
ponent, however, was buried to his
waist in the earth Armed with a
club, he tried to strike her as she cir
cled around him, his weapon being a
ball of iron at the end of a cord. If he
failed to touch her at the third at
tempt he was vanquished, which
meant to him death with dishonor.
Beccarin says that the reason so
many duels were fought in Italy in
the early days is that where the law
does not afford protection one must
look to single combat to retain the re-
spect of ones fellow men. In the mid
die ages the ferocity of Italian duels
passes belief. ANY way of putting an
enemy to death Cogni modoD is good
enough" says one of their writer's.

ed adversary" says Brantome, .he

eliminate the salts, such as purgatives,
diuretics and solvents Of various
kinds. The rational way, however, y
cure such affections Is to stop the
cause. Drink more water; eat less
meat and concentrated foods. This
shuts off the supply of urates in the
blood.
Those who take active exercise in
the open air every day require great
er amount Of nutrition. Not only do
they use up the nutritive materials in
muscular exercise, but the amount Of
oxygen inhaled because Of their activ-
tiles thoroughly oxidizes the urates and
changes them in urea. If the blood Is
loaded with urates they are very like
~ to crystalline, especially in those
portions of the body where the circula-
ton Is the least and the temperature
Is the lowest, such as the elbows. an
kles, the toes and fingers.
Drink more water; eat less food.
This Is a prescription that is worth
more to such people than all the drugs
in the world. Shut off the source of
urate poisoning and the effects of
urate poisoning will disappear.-Ex-

Killed mt Telephone.

Mrs. Minnie Kline, % years old,
wife of Charles Kline, a brakeman on
the Baltimore IL Ohio railroad, was
killed at her home in Sandy Hook, five
miles west of Brunswick, Thursday
afternoon from an electrical shock re-
ceived while attempting to use a tele-
phone of the Maryland company. The
unfortunate woman was near the
phone when the bell rang, but before
she could get to it her small brother at
tempted to take down the ear piece.
She seized it with her left hand and
also put her hand on the mouthpiece.
She fell as if shot.
A physician was hastily summoned,
but death had been instantaneous.
An investigation showed that an
electric light wire had crossed the tel
ephone wire, charging it heavily with
electricity. 1t is supposed that during
the heavy storm of the night before
the electric light wire was disarranged
aud afterward fell across the telephone
wire.
