Catarrh of the Stomach
A Pleasant. Simple but Safe and
EffectuaI Cure for II
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or
bloated sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings. formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing, headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and If the inte-
rior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi"
ton.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a 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 safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastase,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden
Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being patent medl-
cine can be used with perfect cafety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion Will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. r. s. Workman, Chicago, ILL.,,
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from a neglected cold In the
head, Whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes intlamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh Of
the stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me for three years for
catarrh of stomach without cure. but
today 1 am the happiest of men after
using only one box of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. l cannot find appro-
pirate words to express my good feel

All intelligent Spiritualists are watch
ing with deep interest the fearless
course of The Los Angeles Herald In it's
exposures of fraud practiced by un-
scrupulous persons under the cloak of

That there is fraud, and large quanti-
ties of fraud we are forced to admit IN
shame and sorrow, yet by that admis-
sion rational Spiritualists by no means
declare that all of the occult phenomena
of the times are spurious. On the con-

that the phenomena of Spiritualism are

sideration be shown to the genuine phe-
nomena presented to the world by Spir-
itualism.
In pulling up the tares in which work
all honest Spiritualists will most heart
lily unite with The Herald, it is but fair
to suggest that care. should be taken
lest the wheat be destroyed also. There
are those who are qualified to speak
with authority on these subjects. and

Common sense is just as necessary
(even more so) in medicine as in busi-
ness or the affairs of every day life.
People are getting to know more than
they used to. Not so long ago 1t was
the fashion to make all sorts of claims
for a medicine and wind up by asking
the reader to go to a drug store and
buy bottle. People won't stand for
that kind of thing now. They want
proof-tangible proof They want to
try the remedy first and if they find it

In connection with the following let
