cATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, simple, but Safe ana IF
fectual Cure For It.
COSTS EorzrrG TO rax.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurabIe
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings, a
formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs and difficult breath
ing, headaches, tickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and il the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show Shiny, inflamed condition
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily. thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
Of the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing 10 do, and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to DR.. HarIanson, the safest
and best treatment is TO use after each
meal a tablet. composed of Diastase,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drug stores under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
not being patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
health appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their regular use after
meals.
The plan of dieting is simply another
name for starvation, and the use Of pre-
pared foods and new tangled breakfast
foods simply makes matters worse as
any dyspeptie who has tried them
knows.
As DR.. Barnett says. the only reason I
can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are not universally used by every
body who is troubled in any way with
poor digestion, is because many people
seem TO think that because a medicine is
advertised or is sold in drug stores or
is protected by trademark it must be
humbug whereas. as a matter of truth,
any druggist who is observant knows
that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
cured more people of catarrh of the stom-
ach indiges ton. heartburn, heart trou-
BILE, nervous prostration and rundown
condition generally, than all the patent
medicines and doctors prescriptions for
stomach trouble combined.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form Of
indigestion. catarrh of the stomach, bill
iousness. sour stomach, heartburn and
bloating after meals,

OFFERS CHICAGO BLOCK
FOR GEORGIA FARMS

WAYCROSS, Ca, Nov. 4.-South
Georgia land values are attracting a lot
of favorable attention. but It remained
for a Des Moines, Iowa, man to show
Just how valuable he considered the
south Georgia lands. He made propo-
sition whereby he offered to change a
business black in Chicago for land in
the section of the state around Way
cross. The block, according to various
estimates. is worth on the market to-
day about 100000.
The party willing TO make the exchange
states that he has concluded that land
In Georgia, and especially In south Geor-
gia, is worth more than any business
block in Chicago or any other city, for
that matter. Negotiations are now pend
ing for a deal, and ne will undoubtedly
get what he seeks within short dis
lance of wayeross.
