Heaviness of the Stomach from Undi : gested Food Quickly Relieved, by
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet.

When yoth take food into a stomach that is tired Nand over taxed, the gas tric juices do not form fast enough to digest it properly. So the food becomes sour and at once begins to throw off gases. Your stomach becomes inflated just as surely as if you attached a toy balloon to a gas jet. Then the gases and foul odors issue forth and poIIute your breath. Your tonque quickly be- comes coated and you can taste the foulness that is within you.
 Now all this condition is changed almost instantly by a Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablet. This little digester gets busy at once-suppIies all the digestive elements that were lacking-digests the food in a jiffy and sWeetens and refreshes the mucous lining of the stomach and bowels and restores peace and content
 One grain of a single ingredient in Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of food. This saves your stomach and gives it the rest it needs. All muscles require occasional rest if they are ever oFer-taxed. The stomach is no exception to this rule.
 Try q box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets and you will wonder how you ever got along without them. They are sold at 50 cents by all druggists every where.

600 Pound Paper Roll on Tr.ok,

Discovery of a 500 pound roll of white paper on the west bound track at Stonington was made early Thurs day morning in time to roll it off the track before it was hit by a train.
