Rheumatism Caused
By Dyspepsia
So o'cIain Many Eminent Doctors Upon
Recent Scientific investigation.

hOSNUN 1NfNHhliI iNNNoAi9aAlRHs
A large school Of physicians which
Is constantly increasing, claims that
the eating OF too much animal foods
creates an over supply Of proteids,
which are composed Of carbon, hydro
gen. nitrogen. oxygen and sulphur and
that when such proteids are imper-
fectly digested and go into the blood
they create vast quantities Of nitro
gen which the oxygen from the lungs
cannot neutrqlize and hence results,
uric acid and rheumatism and scores
OF other diseases.
These proteids do not permit the as
similation processes to take place pro-
perly and poisoning results all through
the blood.
However, II such proteids are per-
fectly digested they form a most val
liable part of our food and are abso-
lutely necessary 70 life.
The fault then rests with the stom-
ach and the digestive apparatus.
Hence it is claimed by these latter
day authorities that rheumatism arises
I'm the stomach or through the stomach
and not i'm the kidneys as some medi-
cal authorities teach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dys-
pepsia, reduce proteids to their natural
condition best taken up by the system
give strength to the blood. rest the
stomach and invigorate and renew the
gastric fluids, pancreatic juice and the
digestive organs in general.

WAS IT SUICIDE,

Mystery in Death of William
Miller, Killed by Train,
Defies investigation.
CARRIED MONEY THAT WAS
NOT FOUND ON HIS BODY
Robbery Theory Is Advanced by
SOn=in=Law of Elizabeth
Merchant.
Tsp .ciaI to the Evening star.l

ELIZABETH, Sept. 5.-Mystery still
surrounds the tragic circumstances of
the death of William Miller, the local
dry goods merchant. of S33 Elizabeth
avenue, who was found lifeless yes
terday on the Central Railroad tracks.
near the Roselle station.
Several theories are advanced, some
thinking that he met with foul play,
others believing that his death was
accidental, while many are of the
opinion that he took his own life by
jumping in front of a passing express
train.
The police are baffled. and the county
physician, who is endeavoring to un-
ravel the mystery, has thus far met
with no success. Rumor has it that
Miller was very intimate with several
women of Roselle, and that they,
knowing he carried a large sum OF
money, may have instigated a move
ment which resulted in his death. His
son-in-law, DIR. f. c. Goldstein, de-
clared he had positive information that
Miller had large sum of money in
his possession yesterday. which. he de-
clared, was missing when the body
was searched at the morgue.
The police do not incline to the theory
of foul play and think it probable that
Miller was walking on the tracks and
did not hear the approaching train,
Both his legs were broken and his
skull fractured and there were con-
tusions of the face and other parts of
the body.
Mr.. Miller was popular here and was
connected with the Masonic order, the
Elks and other societies and lodges.
He is survived by his wife. II son, a
daughter and a brother

BODY Of infant
VICTIM OF RABIES
GIVEN TO SCIENCE
Parents of Baby Trenton Girl
Make Sacrifice That Doctors
May Study Disease.
rspesIal to tho Evening star.

TRENTON, Sept. 5.--The body of lit
tie 19-months- old Gertrude Homeier,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Gustave Ho-
meier, of this city. who died last Mon
day as a result of being bitten by a
rabid dog, has been sacrificed in the
interests of science. The parents of
the child have given their consent to
the mutilation of their babys body so
that the physicians may determine
whether the case was that of rabies
and also the effect of the disease on
the organs and muscles of the child.
Stephen Esky, the 7-year-old son of
John Esky, of 207 Third street, who was
bitten last July by the same dog that
bit the Homeier girl, died at his home
last night in great agony. There were
no apparent symptoms of the dreaded
disease until last Sunday night, when
the lad complained to his mother of a
sore throat. II think I'm going to die,
mama" said the little boy, and his
premonition became q reality. His
throat became greatly swollen and he
could hardly speak, but he was con-
scious to the end.
