SEWING MACHINES
POPULAR?
BECAUSE LADIES
BUY THKM LIRE THEM
AND TELL JKil'JU
Many ladies have used our machines
twenty to thirty years in their family work,
and are still using the original machines
we furnished them n generation ago.
Many of our machines have run more
than twenty years without repairs, other
than needles. With proper care they
never wear out,- and seldom need repair.
We have built sewing machines for
Unv'""1!1 frty years atul have constantly
mijirovcd them. We build our machines
on honor, and they arc recognized every
where ns the most accurately fitted and
finely finished sewing machines in the
world. Our latest, the "No. 9," is the
result or our long experience. In com
petition with the leading machines of the
world, it received the Grand Prize at the
Pans Exposition of J8S9, as the best,
other machines receiving only compli
mentary medals of gold, silvcrand bronze.
The Grand Prize was what all soughtfor,
and our machine was awarded it.
Send for our illustrated catalogue. We
want dealers in all unoccupied territory,

"Sour Stoniiuli" is the common
name lor acid dspcpsia, and bceuune
it is u common cvmday trouble with
niauv people, tiny havo como to look
upon it as ol little consequence, as
aliccting tho gimei.il health. Never
tholess, tho most sciious diseases
have their bigimiing from this vcrj
condition. It is u tuned in t lie hist
place, from weiikuusH of the stomach,
which, instead ol pioniptly digesting
and disponing of tlio food, allows it to
lio in the stomach for hours, ferment
ing, causing ga, sour rising in tho
mouth, hojitburn, hcadachcx, oppics
sion, despondeuoy, dullues, etc.
Th blood is thin, impure, and cir
culation poor simply beoauso it is re
plenished from this mass of ferment
ing, half-digested lood. This condi
tion ol tho stomach cannot last vory
long without deranging tho nervous
system, the kidneys, heart, liver or
lungs. Which over is wsakest will
break down first.
Pure blood, strong nerves and muB
oles, firm healthy flesh can only 001110
from wholesome food well digested.
"Blood purifiers" and ''ncrvo tonics"
do not reach tlin causo of tho mis
chief. The stomach is tho point to
bo looked after. Tho safest and sur
est way to euro any form of indiges
tion Is to take after cash meal some
hamilcss preparation which will of
itself digest food. There is an ox
oellant preparation of this kind com
posed ot vsgctahlocssonccs, purt pop
sin, Golden Seal and fruit salts, sold
by druggists unaor name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and theso tablets
takon after meals assist digestion
wondsrfully because they will digest
the food promptly, before it has time
to ferment and sour and tho weak
stqmach rolicvcd and assisted in this
way soon bttomos strong and vig
orous again.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets aro
superior to any secret patont modi
