Cures Dyspepsia;
Trial Is Free

1t is a popular mistake that only
wealthy people who eat rich and high
ly-spiced foods suffer from dyspepsia,
or, as it Is also known, indigestion.
The laborer in the street, the worker
in the field also finds himself a victim
of this disorder. Among the very
greatest sufferers from it are women.
Dyspepsia is indicated by constant
feeling of laziness, by loss of appetite
and distress after eating, by bad COM
plexion and lusterless eyes.
There is no surer and speedier cure
for this trouble than DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, which dyspeptics have
been using successfully for 20 years.
This great herb laxative compound
cured Captain Clark of Buffalo Ia, of
dyspepsia and sour stomach that he
had had for 40 years, or until the lucky
day that he heard of DR.. Caldwell s
Syrup Pepsin. 1t cured Joel Adams of
Montgomery, Ala, after suffering con-
tfnuously for 16 months. These are only
a few of the many. But 1t Is not ex-
pensive to be cured with this grand
remedy, as 1t can be bought at any
drug store in 5O-cent or 81 bottle
Your very neighbors are probably
lifelong users of DIR. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin, but IL you want to know with
personally send your name to DR.. Cald-
we'll and he will be glad to send you
a free trial bottle. He Is actually anx-
ious to have you make test of his
remedy
Thousands of families everywhere
keep 1t in the house against such an
emergency as constipation sour
stomach, indigestion, biliousness, dys-
pepsia, heartburn, torpid liver etc,
which may come on member Of tn
family any day. 1t is pleasant to the

dex of the four volumes of Ever
ett's speeches, and he will find mat
tiers enough, not only to stimulate
his own thought and set its currents
running, but to illustrate and adorn
what he will say.
But pretty soon the orator rises
into a higher plane. Some lofty
sentiment, some stirring incident,
some patriotic emotion, some play
of fancy or wit, comes from the
brain or heart of the speaker. The
audience is hushed to silence. Per
haps little mist beins to gather in
their eyes. There is now an accent
of emotion in the voice, though still
soft and gentle. The Greek statue
begins to move. There is life in the
limbs. There has been a lamp
kindled somewhere behind the clear
and transparent blue eyes. The
flexible muscles of the face have
come to life now. Still there is no
jar or disorder. The touch upon
the nerves of the audience Is like
that of a gentle nurse. The atmos-
phere is that of May morning.
There Is no perfume but that of roses
and lilies. But still, gently at first,
the warmer feelings are kindled in
the hearts of the speaker and hear
ers. The frame of the speaker is
TRANSPORTED. The trembling hands
are lifted in air. The rich, sweet
voice fills the vast audience-chamber
with it's resonant tones. At last, the
bugle, the trumpet, the imperial
clarion, rings out full and clear, and
the vast audience is transported as
to another world had almost said
as to a seventh heaven. Read the
welcome to Lafayette or the close of

A TALE OF THE SEA.
The Upside Down Cruise Of the Cap
tain Of the Erndte.

An almost incredible instance of the
perils attending those who go to sea
was the basis of story told in a mari
time court of Dantzic some years ago
by the captain of the sailing ship
Erndte. Nothing that Jules Verne,
Clark Russell and H. G. Wells ever
fancied In their wonderful tales sur
passed the story told by Captain En-
gellandt
He had sailed from Memel with
cargo of planks for Oldenburg. The
captain remained at the wheel during
gale which overlook the vessel next
night and at 4 In the morning went to
his cabin to change his wet clothes.
He had Just got into dry undercloth-

found himself standing on the roof of
the cabin. the door of which the sea
had Theoretically closed.
BY loosening the boards OF what was

which contained only loose sails. For
tunately some shelves of n high cup
board remained intact. and from them
he collected some cans of condensed
milk. some prunes, rice, sugar and sau
sage He also found n hammer.
For twelve days the master OF tbs
ship lived in his prison, eating as spar
ingly as possible and drinking SCI
water, which appeared to have no II
effect on him. He employed his FREE

of the ship to attract the attention o
