For the fiscal year of 190) con sumption was 14,817,000. This shows an In- yspepsia Cure it Is EvcriWucre. If you belonp to tho great army of suffer ers from tndlKcstloti you can rcallzo what a national calamity it is that three-fourths of tho American people are iu tho same ranks. It Is easy enough to moralize on what brought about this terrible condition, high lltlng, poor living, fast eating, improper eating, worry, strain and a host of other things. Hut tho grcatquestlon is, What aro wo going to do about it and how aro wo going to overcome its terrible effects? couldn't Live without one. Tho whole trouble lies in the stomach, that's plain enough. IJut we can't afford to remove tho stomach and wo can't afford to let it bo destroyed by disease. It ls tho most importatib'orgati of tho body and wo couldn't II vo without it. The stomach prepares the food for making th blood that nourishes every organ and tissue of the body. Without good, rich blood the heart becomes weak, tho luntfs break down, tho liver becomes choked and tho kidneys are strained beyond endurance. Thero Is no disease, except the conscqucnco of injury, that is not directly caused or aggravated by disorders of the stomach. We Must Give it a Rest. But what arc we going to do when the etomach is completely tired out and can no longer digest food? Wo must not allow our bodies to become saturated with tho poison ous materials formed liy tho fermentation of undigested food that would be followed by serious nnd probably fatal results; and we must not wreck the nervous system by the torture of Indigestion. We must give the stomach rest. But how sue we going to doit? eie wig t Ditii ir. We can stop eating. Soma people have been forced to do it for awhile, and a few havo dellberatoly tried to do it. A few years ago ono man voluntarily wont without eating for forty days and nights; but at the end of that tlmo bo was little moro than skin and bones. Tbe oilier Wij. It is evident that we can't llvo without food and wo can't main tat ti good health any length of time on half rations. When the stomach is weary and refuses to work, wo must devise some plan besides starvation to give it a rest. Thero is only ono other way, and that Is to do tho stomach's work for it. There are a great many preparations that can be taken immediately after eating that will aid tiie digestion of food. Homo of them help digest starchy foods, such as bread and potatoes and cereals; others help digest albuminous and nitrogenous foods, such ns eggs and meat and cheese. Most of theso preparations uro good as fur as they go, but tlio y do not go far enough. Nature demands a generous nnd varied diet, and BVEttVTiiiNO wo cat must bo thoroughly digested. Partial digestion may relievo for a time, but it cannot euro dyspepsia. The ceraraei sense Method. To absolutely euro dyspepsia and restore the digestive organs to health, wo must give the stomach complete rest and gl vo tho body a plenteous variety of good nourish ment mid at tho same time supply recon structive materials to bo used lu repairing tho worn out structures. To deviso a method of accomplishing theso things has been a perplexing problem, and Its solution marks a new era lu tho treatment of dyspepsia. low It wis Aeetipltsliel. Hv Intricate experiment nnd laboratory work it was found possible to combine, ia exact proportions, all tho dlgcstants natural ly used in tho digestion of tho various classes of foods and to unlto with them tho organic substances required to build up the exhausted tissues. Theso investigations wero especially con ducted for tho purposo of devising a prep aration which by its presence In tho stomach nnd alimentary tract, would completely re lievo the digestive organs from -work by di gesting whatever class of foods might b eaten. Record Seems Renirkalle. Tho result has been moro than It nt Drat seemed possible to accomplish. The prepar nt Ion formed on these principles, knowu aa Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, has been used by many thmisandsof dyspoptics, and In every caso it afforded almost instant relief, ana itacontinuod uso never failed to bring about complete recovery, even In tho worst canea nftcr everything elso had failed. Thla record seems romarkahlo; but it Is only a natural result of tho composition and properties of this preparation. It Digests what Yih Car. Konot DTsrKrsiA Ctmrc digests what yon cat and allows you to cat all thogood, whole some food you want. If you nro suffering from Indigestion you will bo surprised at tho speedy relief It, will give you. If your casa is of long standing It will require a reason able tlmo to effect n cure; for Naturo cannot replace worn out tissues with now ones by magic. Hut when, by the use of this prep aration, the stomach Is given absolute rest, and abundant nourishment and reconstruc tive materials furnished) recovery is certain and permanent. mencod "Nearlv every month for voara I was attacked with cistralcla, an aconlslnc form of Indigestion.

In the courso of n yar, therefore, he will uro unly a litth over threo pounds, so that tho consumption uf lO.Ctil.OuO pounds annually means that th.rn are 6.6(V).CH peoplo in the I'nlteil States who use tobacco In this form. Kully 75 pt'r cent of all tlio snuff used In the t'nlted States Is sold south of Masmi nnd Dixon's lino, n fact which means to the Initiated that it Is used not uh tho avrrau person would Imagine, us n snuff for th nostrils, but In snuff dipping nnd chewing. Tho other 2.i per cent of tho sale Is scit tored all over the country, though a lnru proportion of it Is 'confined tn the manufacturing- districts of New England and around the ureat chain of lakes, A feature of the snuff traffic that has lately caused considerable comment U Its Ub oy mill operatives tn the eastern cities and towns In Fall Hlvtr. Providence, lloiyokr and other points whero tho ma jority .'f the employes aro wuinen there hns been quite nn outcry against tho habit of hihiIT chewing, which Is denominated ns both disgusting and harmful. Moat people, If their attention In ever called to tlio use of snuft' ut all, recall tho dainty fop of past fftilurles with his befrllled sleeves ami his extra vngnnt yet graceful gestuies. ho chiiniilngly brought back to life for our delectation by Hlchard .Manstleld In "Heau llrummol." Hut modern snuff taking as exemplified In the south and among tho workers In tlio cotton mills Is nn entlroly different mutter. Tho ordinary man or woman of ili'imly huliltB rnnilfit regard any feature of It but with feelings of repugnance. Tilt re are four methods of using snuff ndopted by tho working women and girls of this country. They are dipping, rubbing. and tho middle Rtatos claim tho greatest chrwlng and bcnurlng. Dipping is practiced moatly m the south, whllo New Knghtnd number of votaries of tho rubbing- tiablt ! Chewing is a custom that only the uriso , plilsticated and tho amatour Indulge In, while scnurltirt Is also In great vogue In tho eastern stutes. Tho dipping process Is very i simple. Hy menus of a piece of card or I paper a plnrh of snuff Is taken from the ! cn or paokago nnd dipped Into tho mouth, to find n lodging plnco between tbo lower j lips and tho gums Hero It Is manipulated Into u ball and allowed to rest In Its place I until its Htrcngth has been entirely o. trnrted, when It Is ejected. Hubhfng consists of tho dipping, with tho ! addition by the manipulator of a chewing process, which helps to extract tho strength , and flavor from the ball sooner than tho dipping (done. Scouring Is the method most In use In these mills, whero cotton waste Is j easily obtainable. The mill girl or woman i takes n small quantity of tlio material, j moistens it slightly with oil of winter I green, peppermint or other llavored essenco iiiircimscii ai a iiriiB store, i lie onmp waste ,1s then dipped Into tho Btiuff and the mess rubbed alone the lower teeth und gums I before it U rolled Into a ball and allowed to rest In tho usual sheltered nook between the lips and gums, In different sections of Now England tho choice of flavors varies, Sometime) tho manufacturers use u strong flavoring, and then tho hublturil users of that particular kind are satisfied to dispense with their own chhonces. Spirits ot camphor, oil of wlutergrei'ii and otl of peppermint nro all popular, und then tho flavoring Is Incor porated Into tho mnHH nnd uotd at tho samo price ns Its consumption Increases. Mho uso of tlio flavored snuff Is said to bo confined largely to women, as men ad dloted to the halilt-and they iuu few prefer tho Ht.'onger varlotlts. Those who aro fighting the practice In Now Kimlnud uio htrong In their condemnation of tho effects nf tho snuff used In this way on tho health of tho female operatives, They say that Its use dulls the senses of the victim almost as completely ns would opium or other narcotic, If Ibis bo true it Is it cheap form of dissipation, for 6 cents worth of spuff is generally enough to last or sev eral days.
