1t has only been few years since 1t
was discovered that a surgical opera
ton would cure appendicitis; in fact,
1t has been but a short time since the
disease was discovered and named.
Whenever there is an infiamed con-
dition of the appendix, caused by I'M
pacted faces in the small cavity open
ing into the intestine, you then have
appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this
Inflammation of the bowels, and were
puzzled 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. why we find II where II Is. or

The disease for which the operation
is a cure is usually caused by indiges-
tion, and I'm many cases follows a
large and indigesible meal.
Physicians have until recently re
commended an operation. but now, as
it is known that it is caused by indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia, a cure without
an operation is assured.
Where the patient is treated with
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, the un-
healthy conditions prevailing rapidly
disappear. the stomach and intestines
are placed back in their nomal condi-
tion every organ OF the body operates
as II should, and the Inflammation is
reduced and the operation is avoided.

There is no record of a case of APP

days, and the roads were so bad that
the wagons would often mire down in
the mud UP to the hubs OF the wagons
and fence rails were scattered along
the road where other teams that had
preceded us had used the rails to PRIV
the wagons out of the mud. The old
Plank road was built along that lane
in after years. Montrose was only a
small village; probably there were
ESQ to 300 inhabitants. There were
two or three stores, two hotels, "The
Tagle.' and the Bowen House. a
postoffice, distillery, cooper shop,
three or four places they called sa-
looms. but were nothing more than
doggeries, all on the river front.
There were two blacksmith shops l

longing to Henry Singer. the other

there was quite contingent of
French folks living there. Among
