FOR THE STOMAcH'S SAKE.

Thousands of people are afflicted
with stomach troubles and do not know
how to get well. A suggestion has
been offered that tonic containing
nothing but vegetable and non-poion-
Gus ingredients, made from common
herbs, if taken regularly. will relieve
and cure where more heroic measures
fail. 1t is said to work wonders
where there is Indigestion, gas, pain in
stomach, dyspepsia. fermentation, loss
of appetite. collie. bloatmg of bowels,
or stomach diarrhea, gastritis. or
where there is want of tone in either
stomach or bowels, which, in interfer-
ing with nutrition, causes an impovcr-
ishment of the blood.
DR.. Samuel Thompson was the
founder and teacher Of non-poisonouS
medication throughout New England,
and one of his most distinguished
pupils suggests the following simple
recipe, the ingredients Of which can be
secured from any good druggist at
trifling expense.
Cut this out and save it; you may
need it some day even though YOU are
not afflicted today: Fluid extract of
Boneset, One-quarter ounce; fluid eX-
tract of Wild Yam, one-half ounce;
Concentrated Lecto Compound, one
ounce: Compound Syrup of Rhubarb
two and One-quarter ounces.
Shake well ard take one teaspoon
full in half glass of water before each
neal and al bedtime: for children, use
half the dose. Drink plenty of water
exercise in the open air every day. and
do not eat more than you need.

hills and the distant rumble of thunder
spurred the head hunters to action.

was unnecessary. Shouldering his way
through the crowd of excited natives,
he vaulted into the saddle and turned
his horses head from the clearing
| Once he glanced back and beheld Dew

was destined to be the last time he
should see his faithful little mascot.
| Not until dusk settled down that
| night did Reilly draw rein and slide
from the back of his winded mount
He had little hope of Dewey overtak
ing him, but banking on the mascot's
| proyerbial luck. hoped to pick him up
somewhere on the return trip. Dewey
had been in many tight places before,
j but had always succeeded in wriggling
out of them.
| Reilly had just set about his prepa-
rations for the night when his ear
caught the sound of swapping twigs
! and soft footballs. AS he turned the
light of his campfire fell upon brown

! that moment a native runner stepped
out from the leafy screen. and he dis
covered his mistake.
The messenger had evidently travel
ed long and hard and was weak from
exhaustion. Sinking down on his knees.
he bowed low before Reilly.
Much god-make alive." he walled
! sBlack man no can-chiefs son no live

both alive"
The truth of the situation flashed
! into Reilly's mind. The faithful Dew
ey had thrown himself into the breach
/ and had fallen a victim to the bar
| barous natives. BY sending the run
ner with the news of Deweys death
the old chief hoped to recall Reilly and
secure the life of his son.
In such fragments of dialect as he
could command Reilly made the mes
senger understand his dspleasure. He
refused absolutely to return.
! Prepared for this possible exigency
! the messenger pleaded on behalf of the
| chief for some token from the white
god which would offer protection from
the earthquake and the typhoon.
With surprising alacrity Reilly pro-
duced the chamois skin cover of his
watch and an indelible pencil With
the latter he made 4 few mysterious
signs upon the former and handed it
to the trembling messenger.
''Take it, you scum of the EARTH" he
said, "and God grant that the prescrip-
| ton may be filled mighty sudden"
! A month later a small band of head
! hunters fell into the hands of a de-
tachment of American scouts. One of
the natives bore himself with great
! dignity and on the supposition that he
was 4 chief of some prominence was
J finally brought before Colonel Boyne
During the course of examination the
chief, in order to substantiate his
j claim of immunity produced a very
soiled piece of channels skin upon
which certain words were still dis
cernible. This is what Colonel Boyne
made out of it:
''The bearer murdered Dewey. Hang
him on sight and receive the blessing
