The temper Of the family and the

so much on the good digestion of

who overcame their trouble should
be of interest to those now suffering
in this way.

it is advice that is seldom Needed

digestion of the food. acts gently on

Maj. S. Martin, of Joplin, Mo, now

understands that he has left a track,

Senator Mitchell's law partner, Judge
Tanner, while being interrogated by
Mr. Heney, stated that there was
partnership agreement, drawn up at
