and when II is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca

FL Paso, Tex, Oct. lS.--The long
expected meeting between President
Taft and President Diaz of the Re.
public of Mexico Is a thing Of the
past. Outwardly it was attended
with display of soldiery, fare of
trumpets, a boom of cannon. but in
the actual handclasp of the two ex.
ecutiyes and in the exchange of cour.
teous words which passed from lip
to lip there was simple but cordial
informality.
President Diaz was the first TO
speak. He assured President Taft of
his warm personal regard. and his
high esteem Of the man who had ac-
complished SO much IN the Philip
pines and elsewhere and who had
now the honor to be the chief execu.
tive - so great a nation as the Unit.
ed ,es. President Taft, in simple
Amerp N fashion, declared he was
glad to meet President Diaz. lie was
glad to know the president of such a
nation; especially glad to know the
president who had made the nation
great
There were less than a score or
persons permitted to witness the
meeting of the two executives. Even
these were excluded later when Pres.
ident Taft and President Diaz with.
drew into an inner room of the
Chamber OF Commerce building.
where the historic meeting took
place, and were only attended by
Governor Creel of the state of Chi
huahua who acted as interpreter.
The scene OF the days ceremonies
shifted from time TO time from this
thriving little American city across
the shallow, wandering Rio Grandc
river TO the typical little Mexican
settlement OF Ciudad Juarcz.
In the customs house there Prcsi-
dent Diaz received a return call from
President Taft, and again in the
evening entertained the American
president and large dinner party al

Painful
Dyspepsia
\ Form OF Indigestion Caused by
Gastric Irritation from Undiges-
ted Food i'm the Stomach.

No kind of dyspepsia is better
marked tnan that known as painful
indigestion" aud It is also q very
common affection. Pain, generally of
a dull character, is felt after meals,
ty of the symptom is proportionate to
the quantity and quality of the meal.
When the stomach is empty, n sem
sation of craving or emptiness gives
most trouble. This often, causes
q false appetite, which. by inducing
the person to eat heartily aggravates
the sufferings. Thirst generally
causes mu n a1uoyar,e; heartburn,
water-brash, acidity, nausea, and
headache are not infrequent attend
ants. The tongue Is usually coated
and from mere inspection of this Or
gan the condition of the stomach
can be often correctly told.
1t Is a common error with persons
who suffer from stomach pain caused
by indigestion and gastric irritation,
to use such drugs as chlorodyne, Hoff-
mans Anodyne, and other pain
killers" for its relief Such treatment
is great mistake. While these drugs
afford temporary relief to the dys-
peptic pain, they have no affect what
ever in removing the cause.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets re-
move the cause. BY completely di-
gesting all the food in the stomach
there is no further possibility of the
occurrence of this disagreeable form
of dyspepsia with its painful mani
festations, and other concurrent SYM
ptoms. All of the irritation of the
stomach-lining and stomach-nerves as
the result of the undigested food ly-
ing i'm that organ and undergoing
fermentation and decomposition, is
quickly done away with.
But not only is the form of dys-
pepsia which is accompanied by pain
cured through the use of these diges-
tive tablets, but also every other form
of indigestion. as there are many
not occur, but where there are many
symptoms equally disagreeable, dis
comforting disconcerting and dis.
couraging.

tain, in a highly concentrated form
