TIE FEAR OF HUMBuG
Prevents Many People from Trying a
Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and
in most cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radi-
cal permanent cure of dyspepsia and
Indigestion Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness in never be-
ing humbugged, especially in medl-
cines.
This fear of being humbugged can
be carried too far so far in fact that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk a little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of a preparation so re-
liable and university used as stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different III enc important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not a
secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients. but analysis
shows them to contain the natural dt-
gestive acids. Golden Seal, bismuth,
hydrastis and nux. They are not ca
thartic, neither do they act powerfully
on any organ, but they cure indigestion
on the common sense plan of digest
ing the food eaten thoroughly before
it has time to ferment, sour and cause
the mischief. This is the only secret
OF their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely on the
bowels. whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dysp7ntic Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That is
all there is to it. Food not digested
or half digested is poison as it creates
gas acidhy, headaches. paipitation OF
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite
and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at 80 cents per package.

Although it was expected that work
on driving the wells at Meadow brook

was not the case, as the day was spent
in getting more of the machinery to
the location and setting it up. 1t was
stated on Thursday evening that the

that case it is hoped to commence the
driving by Saturday. The well will be
driven about fifty feet north of the
dam and on the east side, at point
where, If the rain should come and the
water rise it would not affect the APP

which chops it's way into the ground,

is attached. After loosening the mate

piping is then inserted to the point
where rock is struck. IT had been
hoped to get the drills in operation by

possibility of pumping water from the
