Many Eat as Though They Were Blind
$3.50. and Their Tongues Cut Out.

Dyspepsia is built on confidence
too much confidence in the ability of
your stomach to digest anything and
everything you put into 1t.
In this age we have developed speed
in every line of action, and we have
also developed speed in mastication.
We don't take time to eat right, and
sometimes we do not eat the right kind
of food. Sometimes we carry our bust
ness to our meals and as result eat
mechanically. We eat as though we
were blind and our tongues cut out.
We simply swallow.
The result is that the food we eat is
half chewed, and lies like a lump of
lead on the stomach.
You may deny to yourself that you
abuse your stomach, but when you get
a bloaty feeling, you can't deny you've
got it.
When you get brash. eructations,
burning sensations, bloating, aversion
to food, loss of appetite, belching and
other kindred ailments, there is not
much usa asking yourself, for the time
being, why you suffer. The fact is
you've got these ailments and the
question is how to get rid of them at
once, so that at your next meal you
may be able to sit down and look at
your meal straight in the face-with a
keen appetite and smile, and enjoy
thoroughly everything you eat.
Just one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets will digest an ordinary meal, with
the nc1p OF the SlOAildCA. -OHS

WEIGHING THE SOUL.
Physicians Place Dying Man on the
Scales.

New York, March 11.-Dr. Duncan
MacDougall of Haverhill, Mass, who
Is at the head of research society
and has had four other physicians as
ISOLATED with him in a series of ex-
periments covering six years, believes
that the human soul has a definite
weight which can be determined when
1t passes from the body at death, &C
cording to a Boston dispatch to the
Times.
DR.. MacDougan began by seeking to
learn if the departure of the soul from
the body is attended by any manifesto
lions capable of being recorded by any
physical means. The method finally
resorted to was to place dying patient
in bed upon one of the platforms of a
pair of very delicate scales made eX-
pressly for the experiments and then
to balance the weight with an equal
weight on the opposite platform. The
scales were sensitive to a weight of less
than a tenth of an ounce. In every
case after death the platform opposite
the one in which lay the body of the
subject of the test fell suddenly, DR..
MacDougan says. and the figures on
the dial index indicated a diminution
in weight.
The first experiment was with a man
dying of tuberculosis. He expired
watched by five physicians. The in
slant life ceased, the opposite scale
pan fell with startling suddenness.
Immediately all the usual deduc-
tons were made for the physical loss
of weight and it was discovered that
there was yet full ounce unaccount-
ed for. The next subject was also
victim OF tuberculosis and practically
the same phenomena occurred.
Each of the five physicians made his
own computation and these separate
computations were compared after
ward at a consultation. They all show
ed an unaccounted loss. in weight com
pairing the patients corpse with his
body when he was alive Four other
cases were carefully observed and in
each 1t was esta blished that a weight
Of from one-nalf to a full ounce de-
parted from the body at the moment
of dissolution
