RExALL DYSPEPSIA TABLETS

The remarkable success of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is
largely due to the new and sue
cessful method of manufacture,
whereby the well known prop
critics of Bismuth Subnitrate
and Pepsin have been combined
with carminitives and o h er
agents.
Bismuth 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 s s
which develops its greatest eff
ficiency. 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 intiu-
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 dyspepsia-and
not only a remedy, but a cure
which works by gradually re-
building and stimulating t h e
glands which perform the di-
gestive functions. Package, 25c,

CHERRY JUICE COUGH SYRUP

A new idea in Cough Syrups.
This preparation owes its eff
ficiency to the presence of Wild
Cherry, Vinegar Squills, Bone
set, Horehound and Syrup.
All of these have been known
for hundred years as remedies
for coughs and hoarseness.
In Rexall Cherry Juice Cough
Syrup, all of these rem dies
have been combined by a pro-
cess of manufacture that has
blended them into a perfect me-
dicinal harmony whereby the
characteristics of each support
and reinforce the others.
The pathological properties
of each ingredient does its own
particular work in easing the in
famed membranes, loosening
the phlegm and setting up a
condition of health in the bron-
chial and nasal passages.
One spoonful will relieve the
inhamed membranes and tempo
rarily stop the cough. One bot
tie will work a cure. 1t is ex-
ceedingly pleasant to the taste
children like it. Per Bottle, 25c,

WRECKED WITH DYNAMITE
THE FAMOUS FERRIS WHEEL 4
TANGLED PILE OF JUNK.
The Foundation Blown Away with
Dynamite and h Great
Structure Collapses.

st. Louis, May 1.-THE big Ferris
wheel at the Worlds Fair grounds
was blown up by dynamite at 4:So p.
m. Friday. One hundred pounds or
dynamite were exploded under the
supports at the north side OF the
structure, wrecking the foundation
and permitting the wheel to drop to
the ground, a matter of but a few feet.
AS the wheel settled it slowly
turned, with the bottom of the wheel
as a support, and then, after totter-
ing a moment, slowly collapsed. 1t
did not fall to one side as the wreck
ers had planned-it merely crumpled
up slowly, and within a few minutes
was a tangled mass OF steel and iron
80 or 40 feet high.
The huge axle, weighing IA tons,
dropped slowly with the rest OF the
wheel, crushing the smaller races
and steel framework into fantastic
shapes and forms. When the mas
finally stopped settling it bore nc
resemblance to the wheel SO familiar
to all St. Louisans.
Mrs. Cora Bennett, wife Of w. G
Bennett, superintendent of the Chi
cago House Wrecking Co., touche'
the button that exploded the dyna
mite.
The wheel weighed 1000 tons. |

there for $4,000, and 100000 wa
spent bringing it to this city an

CHINESE PROBLEM
IN SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco, May 14.vSit Chem
tung LANG Chang, Chinese minister to
Washington, is expected to arrive IN
this city on May 16 to look after the in
terests of his countrymen. AT a meetinS

cided that Chinatown would be re-
stored on it's former site or not at all.
One-third of the land in the DESTROYED
Chinatown district is owned by chinese
merchants or other Chinese holders.
The merchants say they must Keep
in touch with the Caucasian trade, and
must be within easy reach OF the CEN
ter of business. Leading Chinese as
sert that if the municipal authorities
insist upon driving them from their
former district the entire colony will
remove from the city, and with 1t will
90 a great share of San Francisco's ori-
entail trade.
The latest plan of the rebuilding
committee is to give the Chinese a dis
trict between Sansome and Front
streets, near the bay.
