A STARTLING STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities
Claim Dyspepsia Causes Con-
eumntiOn.

The post norton statistics OF the big New
York hospitals show that some cssss of con.
sumption are due to unchecked dyspepsii.
especially when the victim was predisp sed
10 tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears ont the body and brain,
the weakened, irritable stomach is unable TO
digest food, TIE body does not receive the
required nourishment, constipation ensues
and the victim becomes thin, weak and hags
gard. As result, the body becomes fertile
field for the germs Of disease to lodge and
flourish
Therefore the person who permits dyspepsia
to progress unhindered is guilty Of contribute
ing toward the development Of one Of the
most insidious and fatal diseases known to
mankind.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly trestei.
w. y Taylor sells a remedy which iney
positively guarantee will cure indigestion or
dyspepsia or they viii pay for all the medi-
cine used dur ng the trial. This remedy is an
absolutely new medical discovery aud b
be named Z Kali Dyspepsia Tablets. G. r
trinly no offer could be more fair, and the
offer Of the W. p. Taylor is proofpositive that
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are a dope odable
and infa'labIe remedy. Inasmuch as the medi-
cine will cost you nothing if it does not bene-
fit you We urge you who are suffering W th
indigestion or dyspepsia to try this remedy.
A twenty-five cent box Of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tabletssc0ntains enough medicine for fifteen
days treatment. Remember Rexall Dytpep-
STA Tablets are only sold by W. p. Taylor,

VIRGINIA CLAIMS RULED OUT.

Declaring that no senator had sDy
right to protest against the claim of the
stats of Virginia from the federal gov.
eroment for 1920, 900 advanced to erect
public buildings in the District OF o.
lumbis 10 the nineteenth century, Sera.
ator Daniel closed heated debate In the
Senate yesterday.
The item, together with a similar pre-
vision for the state of Maryland, was
carried in the general deficiency bill,
and had been made subject to point Of
order by Senator Blrke't, OF Nebra'ka
The Nebraskan contended tina. the items
were private claims and should not be
paid.
Uoable to conceal bis dismay tha'
these old claims should be trefted with
such little consideration, SsustOr Daniel
10 stirring tesms cautioned bis colleagues
that the claim vas based upon q loan
made 10 good faith By 8 commonwealth,
aud was public Instead of a private
claim. To support his contention Mr..
Daniel read q number OF statutes, and
closed his remarks by saying:
81 am guided in this fight by the
golden ruie, and / lhiok 1t should spply
to the government 10 do unto others as
you would have them do unto you.
Virgins gave this money to erect these
buildings 10 the nations cspilal, and has
never been reimbursed"
Senator Burkett was evidently not In
pressed with this argument, and bis
point of order was renewed. The vice
president sustsloed The objection.
