THIRTY SHOCKS A WEEK
Earthquakes Make Lively Times for
Montana Citizens.

Butte, Mont, Dec. 2s.-A Miner dis
patch from Virginia City, Mont, states
that at 4:3O Sunday afternoon that
section was shaken by the severest of
a series of seismic disturbances that
have been going on for more than
week The electric power and light
plant was put out of commission. This
plant is located ten miles distant from
Virginia City and as telephone COM
munication with it has been interrupt
ed it is impossible to ascertain the ex-
tent of the damage done.
Virginia City is in darkness and
much alarm exists. During the past
week this city has experienced more
than thirty earthquakes in which the
earth movement was very pronounced.
Last Monday two shocks within ten
minutes of each other drove the people
into the streets panic stricken, caused
cracks in several buildings and dis
lodged considerable plaster.
This last tremor further cracked
buildings, threw down plaster and
scattered dishes from the shelves and
tables.

The Stomach Does
Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither Will 1t Cure Because the
Lack of Gastric Juices
Prohibit Relief.

The stomach is strong. powerful or
gan. which is composed of muscles of
great strength. 1t is filled during di-
gestion with gastric juices which, when
the stomach. extending and compress
ing the food, dissolve it and separate
the nourishment from the waste Gnat-
ter If however. these gastric juices
are lacking the stomach is not capa-
bic of digesting its food because it has
not the tools with which to work sue
cessfully.
The gastric juices when in perfect
state do away with all foul doors, fer-
1nentation and decay. reduce the FOOD
to disintegrated mass and the stom-
ach then presses it into the intestines
where another form of digestion takes
place. Then the intestines take from
this mass of food all that is nourish-
ing and give it to the blood. The waste
matter is thrown from the system.
If instead of nourishment the IN
testines receive impure deposits com
bined with poisonous and imperfect
gastric juice it can be readily seen
that they must turn such imperfect
nourishment into the blood The blood
then being unable to give each part
of the body that which 1t requires,
becomes impoverished and disease is
spread broadcast.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets corrects
such a condition at once. If the gas
trio juices are lacking and imperfect
these tablets do their work just the
same. They build up the elements in
the juice which are lacking and re-
move those elements which cause dis
turbance.
Meat. grains. fluids. vegetables and
delicacies, in fact each portion of a
large meal have been placed in a glass
vial and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have digested them to a perfect fluid
Just as a healthy stomach would do.
A large complex. hearty meal holds
no terrors for a dyspeptic if Stuart
