A Case Of stomach Trouble, Complicated

with Rheumatism, That the Tonic
Treatment Cured.
When the stomach is feeble the food
lies IN it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach, aud cause inter.
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. They
are absorbed by the blood and corrupt
it and so cause aches in remote parts of
the body and the formation of unhealthy
tissue everywhere. General bodily
weakness aud loss of weight result.
The nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish Just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs tonic that
will rouse il to do the work of changing
the food into nourishment. The tonic
used ought to be one that will agree
with the most delicate stomach.

annihilated by the Japanese In the
only great naval battle of the late

Death has claimed him and removed
him from the people who were un-
mindful of his efforts and his sacri-
fees in behalf of his nation and her
neople. Admiral Rodjestvensky, after
the crushing defeat which he sustain
ed at the hands of the Oriental YAM
lyees on the sea of Japan, returned
to his native country to nurse the
wounds and injuries which he had
received in the engagement. He ask
ed that he be relieved from duty,
and the answer OF the government
which he had served was bill of
charges against him, alleging cow
ardice. These were the thanks re-
ceTed from the Russians for his
efforts. Crushed in spirit and maim-
ed in body he has been forced to
live among his ungrateful people,
with the whole world commenting
upon his acts, some 1avorably, but
for the most part those for whose
opinion he cared most, unfavorably.
