whelming victory fot the democratic
ticket next fall, Mr. Bryan said:
Il feel sure that the action of the

gressive candidates, but from the first

coming out strongly against Mr.. Par

turning point in his campain The coun-
try is progressive Nearly all of the
democratic party and more than half
of the republican party are progress

convention was whether we would take
sides with the reactionaries and thus
encourage the organization of third
party and giving to the third party
the hope of defeating the reactionaries
divided into two parties. this on one
side and on the other the nomination

A Reasonable Plea
For the Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking in Diges-
tive Power, Why Not Help the
Stomach Do Its Work.
Especially When It Costs Nothing to

Try.
Not with drugs, but with a rein
forcement of digestive agents, such as
are naturally at work in the stomach?
Scientific analysis shows that diges-
ton requires pepsin, heterogeneous fer
ments, and the secretion of hydrochlo-
rio acid When your food fails to di-
gest, it is proof positive that some OF
these agents are lacking in your di-
gestive apparatus.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements
necessary to digestion and when placed
at work in the weak stomach and
small intestines, supply what these OF :
gans need. They stimulate the gastric
glands and gradually bring the diges-
tive organs back to their normal con-
dition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
subjected to critical chemical tests at
home and abroad and are found to con-
tain nothing but natural digestives.
