DYSPEPSIA
OF WOMEN
Special Treatment Required,

Many women suffer from a form Of
indigestion or dyspepsia which does not
yield to ordinary treatment. While the
symptoms are similar to those of ordi-
nary indigestion, yet the medicines
usually prescribed do not restore the
patients normal condition.
There seems to be a kind Of dyspepsia
caused by arrangement of the female
organism. While this appears to be the
same as ordinary indigestion it can be
relieved only by a medicine which, be-
sides acting as stomach tonic, is good
for female ailments. Read what such
q medicine did for Mrs. Williams =

We want peace and desire to give
Mexico every opportunity to gain the
mastery over her evil growths. We
would gladly aid her. but her internal
enemies make capital Of our friendship
and tolerance. They tell the unread

mails in human form that Americans
are afraid Of them. and in these i'm
beetle minds hatreds Of our supposed
timidity grow.
The only way We can really assist
Mexico is to approach her in over
whelming strength and in friendship
that can stand the strain. Today, at
ter three years Of interference and
farcical performances in Mexico. we
are as unready as at the outset-and

But today the situation is improved
by the prompt compliance Of Carranza

release Of imprisoned troopers. Car
rama does not want war, only
chance to buster before those who
support him. His bluff has been called
at last. and the boys now going south
may never see war.
But marvellous results already have
been obtained. First of all the gov
eminent itself seems almost awake to
duty in place Of talk. And a stimulus
has been given enlistment and equip

1t is a sad day when the boys en-

The Business of Wholesale Lyin,

The Business Of Wholesale Lying.
We have often called attention to
the bundles Of falsehoods sent out by
the liquor dealers and the conscience
less fellows in their employ. The mass Of
such literature that is flooding the
country should call forth suppression
by an indignant public. No sort Of
untruth or deliberate distortion Of
facts is too low for these interests
in their determination to get every
last dollar possible from the victims
they can secure before the govern
ment destroys their business as it
would any other pest or disease.
In the ST. Louis Republic the Mis-
souri, Wholesale Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation recently had inserted as let
ter from it's president to the paper
mass Of statements which the National
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association
has been scattering broadcast over the
country. These statements declared
that drunkenness has increased in Sc
attic under prohibition, that drug
stores have become very much more
numerous, that wealthy men are leav-
ing the city because of the law. that
shops are vacant and rentals decreas-
ed. The letter cited what was alleged
to be correct figures in regard to ar
rests for drunkenness. ETC., in that
city.
Mr.. c. B. Blethen, editor Of the Sc
attic Times. which opposed prohibition
during the campaign, was 80 aroused
by the misstatements Of the letter that
he addressed a reply to the Republic,
saying:
Il resent such mess Of misrepre-
sentation and deliberate falsehoods as
you have published over the signature
of Missouri Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association
the police are very much stricter In
arresting DRINKS. the total Of such ar
rests for March. 1916. was nearly 1000
below that for March, 1915. He gives
as the figures for the first three months
OF 1915, 5265 persons arrested for the
misuse of liquor" and during the
same period in 1916, 1854 such arrests.
He also declares that the figures for
1917. should be at least 1000 larger to in
clude the arrests that were not decotd-
ed. In regard to the increase in the num-
Der of drug stores, Mr.. Blethen asserts
that most OF these were intended to
violate the law. Many of these drug
stores have been raided and numbers
of them wrecked by the police.
He characterizes the assertion that
prohibition has hurt Seattle as "a de-
liberate and wilful falsehood," and as
serts that the men who are named as
having left Seattle are still residents
of that city, that bank clearings. bank
deposits and the volume Of business Of
every kind has vastly increased. that
no stores have been vacated, that all
but a few Of the vacant saloons have
been occupied by other shopkeepers.

Runs Through
Fortune Five
Millions Now

JOHANNESBURG, B. S. a., March
1-Sequah, the most famous itinerant
quack of his time, who died here PEN
niless at the age of 70, went through a
fortune estimated at $5,OO0,O0O obtain
ed from the oredulous.
Sequan was born in London, but
posed as red Indian. He had re-
narkable gifts as a Snowman and a
powerful personality that enabled him
to work his cures. He inspired faith
drew people to him like magnet and
exercised a certain spell of hypnotic
nature over them. Touring the coun-
try in magnificent style, he would hire
the largest hall in a place, work up
enthusiasm with a brass band and
then proceed to work his miracles of
cure. He was an exceptionally fine ell
ocutionist, fluent speaker and some
thing of a singer-talents he later put
TO use on the variety stage, after
giving up the medicine business. An
other natural endowment was a great
physical strength. He could pull out
the most obstinate TOOTH even if he
took piece of jaw bone with it, and
then make the patient swear before
the audience that the operation was
painless. When he applied his magic
oils against rheumatism, he gave the
LATENT such a severe rubbing that the
original pain was forgotten. Many pa
tents who hobbled on the stage came
OF without crutches, OWNS to faith
and excitement. But relief was, of
