Cause For Alarm
Loss Of Appetite or Distress After
Eating a Symptom That Should
Not he DIsregarded

Appetite is just a natural desire for
food. Loss OF appetite or stomach dis
tress after eating indicates indigestion
or dyspepsia. Over-eating is habit
very dangerous to a PERSONS good gen.
eral health.
1t is not what you eat, but what you
digest and assimulate that does you
good. Some of the strongest, heaviest
and healthiest persons are moderate
eaters.
There Is nothing that will cause more
trouble than disordered stomach.
We urge all ~ CeliDa who suffer
from any stomach deranRement, indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia, whether acute
or chronic, TO try R"xall Dyspepsia
Tablets, win tile distinct understands

are not perfectly satisfied with the re-
suits. We recommend them to our GUS

prompt relief, aiding to neutralize the
gastric juices, strengthen the digestive

thus to promote perfect nutrition, and
eradicate all unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to try a 25c box ofRex-
all Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives 10
days treatment. At tho end of that

in chronic cases length of treatment
varies. For such cases, we have two

sent to this province, he as governor,
and ], then just fresh from my official
examinations, as his secretary. The
country was in state of unrest, and
we had not long enjoyed our positions
here before a revolt broke out and
soon attained formidable proportions
1t was rumored that a large body of
rebels, under the leadership Of a re-
ligious fanatic, was advancing upon
Singan from the north, and this in
formation suggested to US the advis-
ability Of concealing our valuables.
This vase was brought from the tenn
pie, on account Of the apprehension in
the minds OF the priests that 1t would
be the first point of attack, and was
placed on a shelf in the governors

vase disappeared. It's absence was no

You will not doubt be surprised

Its disappearance, though carefully
concealed from the populace, was re-

emperor was considerate enough to
say that we should be restored in case
the vase were found and returned pre-
vious to the next great Festival of

clamor was not likely to break out.

THE WAR FIFTY

tain d. r. Phillips, wrote the following
description Of the fight between the
two ironclads from the Confederate
side:
Discovering that the United States
steamer Minnesota was seriously Grip
pied and aground, Commander Jones
ordered the pilot to take us as near
that vessel as possible in order that we
might give her the coup de grace, but
he, not being of the stuff from which
heroes are made and preferring to re-
ceive her formidable broadside from
afar, purposely ran us aground some
two miles off
while we were thus stuck in the
mud the Monitor, commanded by my
old friend and messmate, John L. Wor-
den, made her appearance and opened
fire upon us. Worden fought his yes
sci bravely and well.
"How long we continued to bang
away at each other / cannot now re-
member, but after a long time our
chief engineer, by straining his en-
gines to their uttermost tension, sue
ceeded in releasing us from the tena-
cious mud, when, springing like man
from horrible nightmare, we made
rush at the Monitor to sink her. For
tunately, however, for that vessel, the
Cumberland had been the Delilah Of
our Samson and had shorn the Vir.
ginia or Merrimac Of her front lock,
thereby depriving US Of. our principal
strength. Our iron prov being gone,
we struck the Monitor with blunt ends
Of our wooden beams TO which it had
been attached instead of Its penetrat-
ing edge, and that was all that saved
her from destruction. Immediately
after recovering from the collision the
Monitor moved of toward Fortress
Monroe, and never did she come with
in long range OF US again.
Seeing the Monitor retire from the
field without firing another gun, we
supposed that the machinery which
worked her turret had been damaged
and that this was the cause of her re-
treat, but we afterward heard that it
was due to n most painful and serious
injury to Captain WOrden's eyes oc-
l3sioned by the explosion Of one Of our
lhells. Having nothing else to claim,
tur attention after the retreat Of the
Monitor, we bombarded the Minnesota
It long range, TO her no small detri-
hont until night, when we returned to
Norfolk"
