Stomach Troubles.

Persons who have stomach trouble
are apt to become discouraged. They
will see by the following that their
chances of recovery are excellent. A.
K. Williams, Independence. Va, tells of
a remarkable cure that was effected in
that vicinity. One Of his customers was
so badly afflicted with stomach trouble
that he was sent to a hospital, but re-
ceived little benefit and came home to
die. Mr.. Williams suggested that he try
Chamberlain's Tablets which he did.
and today he is a well man and weighs

able selling of long wheat at the open

Corn-The poor quality of current re-
cefpts Is a depressing factor in corn
In all markets. Only a small proper
ton of the car lots reserved in Chicago

reports that cribbed corn is in rather
bad shape. The quality Of the crop is
