CatarrhOfthe Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe
and EffeCtual Cure for 1t.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to
incurable The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eat
ing, accompanied sometimes with sour
or watery risings, formation of
gases, causing pressure on the heart
and lungs and difficult breathing,
headaches, tickle appetite, nervous
ness and general played out, Ian
guild feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth coated tongue and IL the in
terror of the stomach could be seen 1t
would show Shiny, infiamed condi-
tion.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure prompt and healthy digestion
Is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias.
tase, Asceptic Pensin, little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will fol-
low their regular use after meals.
Mr.. r. s.. Workman, Chicago, Ills.
writes: "Catarrh is local condition
resulting from a neglected cold In the
head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat reaches
the stomach, thus producing catarrh
of the stomach. Medical authorities
prescribed for me for three years for
catarrh of the stomach without cure,
but today ] am the happiest of men
after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet. / cannot find ap-
propfiate words to express my good
feeling. i have found flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion. Catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.

Disinfecting Churches.

The Alcade of Madrid, who, at least
in sanitary matters. is decidedly pro-
gressive, has issued an oruer for the
disinfection of churches. This order,
which is based on report from the
director of the municipal laboratory,
prescribes that all the churches of the
Spanish capital are to be swept out
daily with sawdust moistened with a
solution of copper sulphate. All the
fittings and furniture of the churches,
chairs, benches, confessional. holy
water fonts, etc., are to be disinfeeted
every day.

Latest in Fruit.

A wonderful fruit has been found in
the neighborhood of the coast of the
Gulf of Guinea, in Africa. 1t has the
power, says report, to change the
flavor of the most acid substance into
a delicious sweetness" An Official has
found it effective after a dose or
quinine and adds that "if a lemon be
sucked within two or three hours OF
eating one of the fruits it's acid tavor
is entirely counteracted." The fruit
resembles a small plum, with the seed
invested in thin, soft pulp, wherein
lies the peculiar sweetening property.

Calls Down the sultana Commission

Attorney General Ellis sent letter
to the governor in which he says that,
in his opinion, the Sultana commits
sion should have advertised for bids
on the work; that they could not let
the contract privately as they have
presumed to do. He advises that the
members of the commission be order
ed to make no new contract and that
the auditor of state be requested to
pay out no funds on the contract
made. The governor at once served
notices as thus suggested. He also
sent a letter to the attorney general
stating that he wished the reports of
attempting bribery fully investigated.

of the old Russian type still prevails.

days each year for his landlord, with

latter, who is almost sure to choose
the season when the poor man can
least afford to work for nothing. This
system led to an insurection in 1898.
