Hanly Makes Statement.

Indianapolis, Ind, September 1S.-Gov-
ernor j. Frank Hanly of Indiana, mem
Der and vice chairman of the Indiana
policyholders committee which selected
the policyholders ticket. filed with the
superintendent of insurance at Albany
N. Y, today gave out a statement for
the committee tonight. stating that 1t was
thought proper that the committee should
make u brief general statement of the
considerations by which they had been
governed
The statement makes strong appeal for
entire new boards and new men. The
statement declares while the accepted
technical construction of the state (re-
ferring to the law passed by the New
York legislature) seems to be that the
persons so legsated out of o1TSce may be
reinstated, the strong presumption is that
the legislature expected and intended that
the boards chosen in December next would
not only be entirely new boards, but would
be made UP of entirely new men.
ITO replace on the new boards the per-
sons whom the New York legislature has
returned is not merely to rehabilitate per-
sons whose conduct in office has been dis
approved. 1t practically lnsures the con-
tinuance of the policies with which these
persons are identified" 81.

INTERESTING FACTS.
For Nearly Every Man, Woman and
Child.

A short time ago we published an article
recommending to our readers the new dis
covery for the cure of Dyspepsia called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and the claim
then made regarding the wonderful cura-
tive properties of the remedy have been
abundantly sustained by the facts. Peo-
pie who were cautious about trying new
remedies advertised In the newspapers
and were finally induced to give Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets a trial were surprised
and delighted at the results. In many
cases a single package costing but 90
cents at any drug store made complete
cure and In every instance the most bene-
fetal results were reported. From a hum
dred or more received we have space to
publish only few of the latest. but assure
our readers we receive so many COM
mandatory letters that we shall publish
each week fresh list of genuine unso-
licited testimonials and never publish the
same one twice.
From James Yemmeisler, Lacrosse,
Wis: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
doing me more good than anything 1
ever tried and I was so pleased at re-
suits that l gave away several boxes to
my friends who have also had the same
benefits.
From Jacob Anthony, Portmurray, New
Jersey: | have taken Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets with the best results. l had Dys-
pepsa for years, ana mad taken great
deal of medicine. but the Tablets seem to
take right a hold and l feel good. l am
a farmer and lime burner and l heartily
recommend to everyone who has any
trouble with his stomach to use these
Tablets.
From Mrs. NJ X. West. Preston, MINI. !:
| have received surprisingly good effects
from using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. l
gave one-half of my last box to friend
who also suffered from Indigestion and
she had the same good results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are GER
tain cure for all forms of Indigestion.
They are not claimed to be a cure-all,
but are prepared for stomach troubles
only, and physicians and druggists every
where recommend them to all persons suf-
fering from Nervous Dyspepsia. sour or
acid stomach heartburn, bloating or wind
on stomach and similar disorders.
