Nervous Dyspepsia
And NeuraSthenia
Weakness Of the Nervous System
Often Dependent Upon Long
continued Indigestion.

NeurastheniR, also known as nervous
exhaustion" nervous debility and
nervous progtration." Is disease, which
IN these modern, strenuous times Is be-
coming moro and more prevalent. 1t is
condition in which there Is more or less
marked and persistent loss OF energy, to-
gether with considerable irritability.
Persons who suffer from this trouble are
easily excited and irritated: cannot do as
much work as formerly. and in attempt
ing any mental effort, quickly become
confused, and are unable TO concentrate
the attention. They also complain OF in
somnia. nervous indigestion, depression Of
spirits, and palpitation Of the heart
There is a general muscular weakness;
the person cannot walk very far, and tires
quickly on attempting physical exertion.
There Is ringing In the ears; blurring OF
eyesight: headache and vertigo: specks
floating before the eyes, and a general
restlessness. The ability 70 sustain pro-
lonEed intellectual effort Is interfered
with. and the patient imagines he is
losing his memory.
Inconsistencies continually watch for new
symptoms. unconsciously eXaggerate the
old ones, attaching undue Importance to
them. CauSeless fear is often suffered
from; a dread OF some impending danger;
extreme pessirnism; dark forebodings. and
hysteria. Sleep is not refreshing. and the
person feels much more tired In the morn
ing than at night Horrible dreams and
nightmare are usually complained Of
But by far the most prominent manifes-
tation OF NeurastheniR is Nervous
Dyspepsia In nearly every case this
disturbance OF the stomach dominates the
complaint Cause and effect NAV be
transposed. and dyspepsia may be the re-
suit OF Neurasthenia, but oftener indi-
gestion is the original cause OF the ner-
vous condition. The nerves are simply
starved" because the stomach does not
digest the food properly and as the
nerves are dependent upon the food which
the blood absorbs from the stomach for
their sustenance. any deprivation thereof
Is sure TO cause nerve weakness.
The use OF nerve tOnics' in this condl-
ton is a mistake, they merely stimulate
but do not rebuild nerve tissue Com
pletely digested food Is the only true
the treatment OF nervous exhaustion. one
should first cure the nervous dyspepsia
which is usually the origin OF the trouble
by taking STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TAB
LET'S IN doses OF one or two after each
meal or whenever needed and the long
train of nervous symptoms will be cured
along with the nervous dyspepsia
This celebrated remedy Is without n
peer in the treatment Of nervous indiges-
ton, and. In fact. indigestion Of any kind.

oughuess, and facilitate its absorption bv

MAY INFLUENCE CHOICE
OF CONGRESS.

Managua, Nic.-Jose Santos Zelaya
has resigned from the presidency OF
Nicaragua. He placed his resignation
in the hands of congress Thursday
morning. Apparently there was no
other course for him to take. The
people were at last aroused. The guns
OF the revolutionists threatened. The
warships OF the United States lay in
Nicaraguan ports.
Managua has been seething for
days. The spirit of revolt has spread
even to the gates of the palace.
Zelaya surrounded himself with an
armed guard. Unchecked, the popu-
lace have marched through the streets
crying for the end of the old and pro-
claiming the new regime.
Who will take up the reins no one
knows nor cares. 1t is sufficient that
Zelaya as dictator will be known no
more. There is no doubt that con
gress will act quickly on his resigna-
tion. for the people have demanded 1t
DR.. Jose Madriz. judge OF the Central

lutionists. but General Estrada. under
whose command the great body OF
fighting insurgents now face Vasquez

him.
Estrada's word will bear weight In
the choice OF president.
In a message accompanying his res
ignation President Zelaya says:
TO avoid further bloodshed. and for
the reason that the revolutionists have
declared that they would put down
their arms when l surrendered the ex-
cutive power. hereby place in the
hands OF the national assembly the
abandonment OF the remainder OF my
