A NEW DISCOVERY. BUT NOT 4 PATENT

Or. Redwell relates an interesting account of
what he considers a remarkable case OF acute
stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the
use OF the new discovery. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
He says: The patient WAS a man who ssd
suffered. TO my knowledge. for years with dys-
pepsia. Everything he ste seemed to sour and
create gases In the stomach. He had pains Ike
rheumatism In the back. shoulder blades and
limbs fulness and distress after eating poor
appetite and loss of flesh: the heart became AZ
fected. causing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night.
II gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood
| remedies. but to purpose. As an experiment
finally bought a 50-cent package OF stusrts
Dy spepsia Tablets ut q drug store and gave
them 10 him. Almost immediate relief vas
given and after be had used four boxer he was
to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity sour. wsteYy
risings. NO boating after meals. the appetite
was vigorous and he has gained between 10 and
| IL pounds in weight of solid. healthy flesh.
Although Stusrts Dyspepsia Tablets are ad.
vertised and sold In drug stores. yet I consider
them a most valuable addition to any physician's
| line Of remedies. as they perfectly harmless
| and can be given to children or inyalids or in
any condition of the stomach with perfer,

Will Not Enjoy Privilege of En-,

Ollie Smith, of Cheyenne. the negro boy
who passed second in a competitive ex-
animation for cadet at West Point and
received the designation as first alternate
from Senator Clark, of Wyoming. will
not enjoy the privilege of entering the
Academy.
At the competitive examination three
boys took the examination, Robert Dill
man (white). who passed highest; Ollie
Smith (colored). who passed second and
received the appointment as first alter
nate, and Joseph Palmer (white) who
passed third and received the appoint-
ment as second alternate. A number of
Senators. some Of whom were from the
South. and several army officers advised
Senator Clark against designating the
colored youth. saying II would lead to
endless trouble; but the Senator declared
the boy had won the honor In a fair COM
petition and he would not deprive him
of IT,
The three candidates were directed TO
