4 Simple Method That Is Always Em-
 cacious. Trial Package Free
 Il has only been few years since it was discovered that a surgical operation would cure appendicitis: in fact, 1t has been but short time since the disease was discovered and named.
 Whenever there is an iniamed condi- ton of the appendix. caused by impacted faeces in the small cavity opening into the intestine, you then have appendicitis.
 The older doctors used to call this iu- fiammation of the bowels, and were pug xled to know the cause
 Even now, with all the knowledge we have of the disease, no medical man can tell you why we should have an appendix, g why we find it where 1t is, or what are It's functions. If it has any.
 The disease for which the operation is q cure Is usually caused by indigestion, and in many cases follows large and V indigestible meal.
 Physicians have until recently recom- mended an operation. but now, as it is known that 1t Is caused by indigestion, or dyspepsia, a cure without an operation is assured.
 N Where the patient is treated with Stu Nrts Dyspepsia Tablets the unhealthy
 pnditions prevailing rapidly disappear. the stomach and intestines are placed back in their normal condition, every oASob VI 5tnc pouy OpoTdteb dS IL SnOulQ, and the inflammation is reduced and the operation Is avoided
 Conscientious physicians who are look inE after the best interests of their pa tients, will always keep supply of Stu { arts Dyspepsia Tablets handy in their offices where in cases of sudden attacks of indigestion they can relieve the pa- , ttent at once. 4e There is no record of case of an. pepdictis where the stomach and bowels were in healthy condition and pronerlv { digested the food from meal to meal ! No better advice can he given to any one who has attacks of indigestion oy who has been threatened with appendicit. is. than to tell him to go to the drns store, pay 50 cents. and take home s package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets / Whenever heartburn, gas in stomach or bowels. heart disease or stomach trolI. bles. sour eructations. aeidity or farmen- tation are present. act at once.

Reverses Decision

Upon acceptable representations on the part of Gregory l.. Smith of Mobile, an attorney for the Louisville and Nashville railroad, the supreme court of Alabama, conforming with the decision of the United States supreme court has written the word reversed" across the decision which it submitted several months ago declaring constitutional the railroad fran chise tax cases. The decision of the state tribunal was made in the case of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany vs. Judge J. B. Castor, probate judge of Montgomery county.
 The order of the United States supreme court setting aside the ruling of the state body, in which the high tribunal held that the franchise taxes were an unnecessary and unwarranted burden upon the rail- roads. was made several months ago. As results of the supreme courts action to- day, however, the railroads are legally bulwarked, and can secure from the state all of the monies which had been paid out during the two years of the laws op- eration. The state loses from such taxes about $S0,O0O per year.
