To sit back after good meal and

fort is the logical result of using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets immediate

they can trace each attack of indiges-

still taste" And it surprises them.
invariably to note how quickly relief
comes after using one or two of these
tablets Whether it is highly sea-

hearty foods or some one particular
offender the relief comes just the
same. Those who are susceptible TO
attacks of indigestion or dyspepsia
should try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

alkaline effect just as it does naturally
when it is working in perfectly
healthy condition.

Keep Your Blood Clean As You Keep Your Body Clean You Don't
Wait Until Your Body is Foul Before You Cleanse 1t

It is a matter of surprise that
many people who are so careful to
have clean bodies make no effort
to keep the blood clean. Every
one knows that uncleanness
breeds disease; that those who do
not keep their bodies in whole
some condition and who dwell in
filthy surroundings are the first
to fall when some epidemic of
disease sweeps the country. But
foul blood is more dangerous to
the individual than a foul body.
An unclean body is a passive
rather than an active hindrance to
health. But unclean blood is an
active threat against the very
life-it makes the body a prepared
breeding place for disease.
In view of the fact that every
body is liable to inapurity of the
blood why should we not treat the
blood as we do the body-keep it

clean on general principles? We
wash and battle regularly. We
don't figure up how long we can
go without cleansing the body or
put off the bath until we become
offensive. We intend to keep our
bodies clean and we wash regularly
whether we appear to need it ornot.
If we keep the blood pure, we are
less liable to fall victims to "flu".
Of all preparations for purifying
the blood DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery easily takes
the first place. 1t eliminates from
the blood the elements which clog
and corrupt it, and which breed
and feed disease. 1t acts directly
on the blood-making glands, in
creasing their activity and so in
creasing the supply of rich pure
blood which is the life Of the body.

Downing from dying. He was taken
to ST. Joseph's hospital, and will re-
cover, the attending physician said
today. One grain of strychnlne

it was found that six had been taken.
No motive can be found for the
deed, and so far the attending physi-
clan has been unable TO find out
where the poison was purchased. The
fact that Downing is alive today Is
due to the prompt measures admin

leaving that evening.
