AIDS INDIGESTION.
A Home Remedy You Can Mix
Yourself.

The following formula Tr. Cinchona
Compound, % o., Kastor Compound,
OF; Fluid extract of Cascara Aro-
mstic, OF, is made for the stomach
and organs of assimilation and is not
intended for "cure all" This for
mula contains powerful tonics and
mild stimulates that have a direct and
specific effect on the stomach and
organs of assimilation, and which
assist nature in reconstructing the
broken down cells and strengthening
the faccid muscles of the walls of the
stomach and other digestive organs.
1t will relieve at once and ultimately
cure the worst forms of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion exists when the food is
not properly digested. Dyspepsia, as
commonly understood, is simple
chronic Indigestion. If a healthy
stomach is dlsordered and cannot
digest all the food put into it, tempor-
ary indigestion results. Every
healthy stomach sometimes gets out
of order; not realizing that such is the
case, we eat the usual quantity of food
or perhaps mole than the usual guam
tity, as the appetite is usually abnor-
NAL. The stomach fails to digest all
the food and indigestion follows. In
either case nature needs assistance,
and it is wise to give this assistance,
for by doing so the discomfort of the
attack of indigestion is avoided and
often an attack of biliousness, cholera.
morbus, sick headache, etc. is averted.
This formula is just what is needed to
do the work the stomach cannot do.
1t is a splendid medicine for children
suffering from any stomach disorder,
If the digestive organs are weak indi
gestiOn will prevail, and the patient
will suffer from sour stomach, heart
burn, gas in the stomach, load or knot
IN the stomach, pains in the stomach,
sick headache, nausea, vomiting, ner-
vousness, sleeplessness, etc.
Have this formula prepared at once
at your family drug store, and take a
teaspoonful after each meal.

How "Ablde with Me-, Was Mritten

Henry Francis Lyte, author of that
matchless composition, abide With
Me, " for twenty years was a sufferer
from consumption. During the time he
was the minister over a parish composed
largely of fisherfolk in a coast town of
England He labored faithfully among
his people, yet he always longed
to do something that would have an in
fiuence for the good of humanity after
his death-a longing which found ex-
preston in beautiful poem. The story
of how this desire came to be fulfilled
through writing ''Abide With Me" is as
follows:
In the Autumn of 1S47 his physicians
Informed Mr.. Lyte that it would be nee
essary for him to relinquish his work
and spend the winter in Italy. When
the last Sabbath of his stay in England
(September 5, 184O arrived, he deter
mined to preach once more to his little
flock and to celebrate with them the
Lords Supper. In spite of the protest
OF friends, he carried out his intentions.
although scarcely able to stand in the
chance'. In words of melting tender
ness he pleaded with his people to live
holy lives, and when he took his leave
of them there was scarcely dry eye in
the church. The day had been we'll
nigh perfect, and in the late afternoon,
recovering somewhat from the strain of
the service in the church, he walked
slowly and feebly down the terraced
walk to the water he loved so well, and
which he was about to leave forever.
The spell of the hour was upon the min
lister. While the bright sunset colors
faded into the sober grays of twilight,
he slowly made his way back to the
house in prayerful silence and went to
his room. When he joined his family
little later he bore in his hands the
words that were destined to move thou
sands. His prayer had been answered.
His last evening in his old home had
produced that which will be a blessing
so long as the heart turns to its Maker
for help in times of need.

"I0lly 10" Dead

Wytheville, Va, July 27.-The re-
mains of Melvin Grubb, known in circus
and carnival circles as "JoIly Jo," and
who died suddenly at Hickory, N. c.,
Tuesday night, were brought to Wythe-
vile over the Norfolk and Western road
this morning and they were conveyed to
the family graveyard few miles south
of town and were inferred. The de-
ceased was born and reared near Wythe-
vile. He was q years old and on ac-
count of his unusual weight, weigh
ing some 500 pounds, he was al
ways an attractive drawing card for
show. He toured this country with
Forepaughs' circus a few years ago,
and had been an attraction of numerous
carnival companies. He always com
manded good salary and being of good
habits he had accumulated quite a sun
of money. His father, Mr.. A. j. Grubb
is well-to-do farmer and was a gallant
Confederate soldier.

Tunnel Through Andes.

Valparaiso. July 27.-Work on the
railroad tunnel through the backbone of
the Andes is making excellent headway,
about as much having been accomplish
ed during the past six months as for the
previous 18 months. AT the present
rate it should be completed before the
winter season of 1909 sets in, which will
be May ! of that year. The tunnel is at
an altitude of IL, 500 feet, and is about
2 IA miles in length, The state rail-
ways of Chile are valued at SCI, $40, ,26l
United States gold, of which $l1, ,684,
1863 is invested in rolling stock. Nearly
all the equipment is of European pro-
duction. Extensive new lines are plan
ned for the near future. The cost OF
operating these lines for 1906 was 81,
007, ,S79. The expenses exceeded the re-
ceipts by $Sss, ,4S9.
