C. published In the United States Iavestlgatlng Reports, re garding the prescription from whlcn this remedy for curing Lost Manhood la pre pared. " ' s v .- During the examination of men for the army' during our recent war with Spain our United States-army physicians were hocked to find so. large a percentage of men disqualified because of nervous dis orders. It is not the purpose of these re ports to enter into a statement of causes, other than to say that the sufferer is sel dom to blame. His condition la Indeed deplorable; his memory fails him. his ne rgy gone, .his syeelght dimmed, his muscles soft and Ms nervous stamina gone. He Is pitied by those versed in nervous disorders and repelled by those of both sex who do nut understand how dark the world la to him. Some fifteen years sgo the writer gave attention to the cure or nervous disorders and .found that the late Dr. Wilson, pro fessor of chemistry and practitioner of medicine In Bellevue Madlcal college of New York, had a formula of wonderful power to restore to men the fullness of their physical and mental strength. In the year 18&S the celebrated Dr. Wilson died ami his formula has been obtained by L. F. Page of 201 State stynet, Marshall, Mich., who prepares it according to the original prescription, and from our analysts of the same by our board ot Investigation we find It composed ot pure and fresh drugs and that It is sold under the name of "Dr. Wilson's Restorative Remedies."- Our In vestigation was extended Into a great number of similar preparations, none of which were found equal to the above, while many were prepared by those who knew little or nothing about therapeutics or ma teria medlca. We hereby rautlon the pub lic against the use of all uncertain remedies- and all who need nerve, life-giving medicine we recommend them to take Dr. Wilson's Restorative Remedies, prepared and sold by L. F. Page, U State street. Marshall, Mich., and unto the aforesaid Dr. Wilson's Restorstive Remedlea we extend the official indorsement of the United States Investigating Reports. - To every one who wrltea In good faith 1 will send the full formula of this wonder ful medicine. .

'One dose will be- enough to convince yqt;ot,Jts marvelous power. .Among those whose attention has been attracted by this magnanimous offer Is the Rev. J. 8. B. Crawford of Waynesvllle, N. C. a. very prominent divine, whose own vitality waa . seriously . Impaired. .. Being sick of paying money to quacka and char latans who took his money without doing him any good, Mr. Crawford had the pre scription made up and took It regularly, aa ha was directed. With this result, he was perfectly eured, and after severs! years of enjoyment ot hla newly given powers, made the statement publicly that every man in need of help ahould do likewise. There are not many ministers who would be wilting to publicly endorse and recom mend a cure ot this kind, with the state ment that they themselves had been cured by it, but the Rev. Crawford has In htm a great deal of true gratitude and love of mankind. , This Is shown In a recent letter In which he says that he makes public ac knowledgment "In order that others may receive the aame happy results.''

SUSTAINS GOVERNMENT SHE OF QUESTION raves la His Opponents Prasjreaa Made In All Maes Teller Helps t Swell Chora at Admlal traltlea Critic. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. A stirring de bate on the general Philippine question wss precipitated In the senate late today, the principal participants being Mr. Tlatt of Connecticut and Mr. Hoar of Jfsstachuietta. Mr. Telkr of Colorado had. coaeluded for the day his argument acalnat the enact ment of the pending Philippine tariff bill. In response to some statements he made, Mr. Piatt directed the senate's attention to the situation in the Islands at he viewed it, maintaining that great progresa waa being made' by the government la subduing the Insurrection. Ha referred, to the elections for municipal officers in the various cities and the establishment of, schools. Mr. Hoar ridiculed the tatementa of Mr. Piatt and la a facetious vela adverted to the efforta ot the Americas government to control the Filipino people. The remarks of the Massachusetts senator roused Mr. Piatt and In a facetloua vela adverted to the course of which be referred to Mr. Hoar In pretty sharp terms. Hla ' sneech was listened to by senators oa both aldea ot the bamber with profound attenUoa. Is con clusion he paid an eloquent tribute to the efforts of tne United States to -carry the principles free government to every ter ritory where it hsd control. - Hoar Returns tha Fire.' In reply Mr. Hoar delivered an Incisive criticism of the action of the Philippine commission, declaring that: he had been taught to Judge men rather by their actlona than by their words, and by this standard he could not Judge the Philippine commla- loners with any degree- of favor. .. Early In the day the senate paaaed a Joint resolution submitting a. constitutional amendment changing the time of the presi dential Inaugurations and the time of the commencement of the term of congress from the 4th of March to the last' day ot April. , r : Among the other measures passed were: ADnronriatlnar IMVfttA fnp 'tiiihit vend ing at Gainesville, Tex.; to establish a sub KrLP', ntry ' Naco.

At 1 p. m. consideration of the Phlllnnlna tariff bill was returned. Mr. Teller, who had the floor when the senate adjourned yesterday, continued hla speech. He did not think the holding of the Philippines by this government aver would be erofltabla and he could aee readily that It might prove aangeroua. it waa contrary, to American principle to hold any people Is subjec tion by force. Nobody, he said, waa likely to question the right ot the United States to hold the Philippine archipelago. No na tion would dare to raise such a Question. met question might .he raised In the American congress, but nowhere els. He felt that a profound mistake had bees made la the early trsatnt of the people of the Philippines, but 'the question had been passed and it waa now our duty to do what waa' right Nobody believed, ha In sisted, that the United States could force upon the Filipino Its government or its civilisation. Those people were ot a dif ferent race from the Abglo-Bazon and audi government aa would be deatrabla tor Americana would not be desirable for the Filipinos. Is the whole history of the world." said he, "no nation haa ever elevated the people ot another race or nation against the protest of the people whom It was attempted to elevate. It people are over elevated," he de clared, "they must elevate themselves by their own efforts.- Wants Infinite Deere. Referring to the assertion that ths United States waa a creature of destiny la Ha con nection with the Philippine Islands and that this government waa but carrying out the decrees of providence among the people ot the archipelago. Mr. Taller declared that he ahould want a plain edict from the Al mighty an edict that he would know did not coma from the evil one before ha would be willing to accept th auppoaed decree of destiny, . "I could well Imagine," said he, . "that the. methods we are pursuing might em anate from the, evil one, but I cannot tfh agin that they ahould emanate- from th great lover of the human' race. I tnalet that In all this- business His vole haa not been heard. If there is any reason why Americana ahould be la - the Philippine islands . it cannot be found la th com mand ot the Almighty." ' Chars Asalnet AdaalnlatrntUn. Bom evil Influence, he Bald, dominated and controlled - the executive department of the government and . the government's voice waa no ' longer for peace, but for war. Had th administration declared tta present policy toward the Philippines at th outset the treaty with Spain would not have bees ratified. Is the twenty-two years of hla aervlc is the senate., he aald. h had aeen many strange things, but never anything like the reading of .the so-called enactments 6f th Philippine commission,' which, he said, was a compendium of .' tyranny, and In famy. . . ' k ' , . " Mr. Foraker aald that the sedition and treason laws enacted tor th Philippines were almoet identical with those of Tenn easee. Mr. Teller expreseed the opinion that the Filipinos never would consent to our control of th Islands Piatt Aake HittUoa., "Is the senator - entirely certain," In trctd Mr. Piatt ot Connecticut, "that a majority of jbe Christian people ot the islands ao sot consent to. r vur govern ment Mr. Teller eiDlalned that If ha eauld trust th information which had tons to him, not one-tenth of th people wanted the United Statea government In the la lands. He urged, however, that th Fill plaos ought t b afforded aa opportunity to expreaa their eentlmeata Without fear ef bayonet rule. Mr. Culberaoa Interrupted to aay that Generals MaeArtbur aad Chaffs both were en record as saying that practically th en tire populatloa of th Islands waa eppoaed to American rule and that Governor Taf t had testified that th Christiana In the Do not grip nor trrltat th ailmaor , Ury canal.

Continuing Mr. Teller said that "not a small percentage, but practically no per cent" of the Flllplnoa wanted American government In the kilanda. American Army (irewi Smaller. Mr. Piatt of Connecticut, replying to ome statements made by Mr. Teller, pointed out that ths Amerlcss army In the Philippines had been reduced from 70,000 to less than 40,000. He thought It very strange that ths American force could be reduced thus If all the Filipinos were strug gling agalnat American control. "We ought to concede facts," he urged. W ought to take things aa they are, and not things aa.they be conjured up. We are getting along reasonably well In those Islands. Peace will come to them and a government will be established therein where the Filipino themselves will have large part and which will pro-e t be a blessing to them." He pointed Out' that elections were being held In the Islands to choose municipal offi cers, ad In these elections all (ha people had a part. After he had read a consid erable number ot declarations from native Filipinos, indicating a growing apprecia tion ot American control and government, Mr. Piatt declared that nothing the minor ity could say would convince him that the United States government waa not making rapid progress In the -Philippines toward peace and contentment. ' . Hoar Rlnleale Plat. ' Mr. Hoar ridiculed the actlona to which Mr. Piatt referred, declaring that under th sedition laws- enacted by the ' Philippine commission It waa a penltenttary offense for a body In the Islands to advocate a po litical opinion or political policy. He hoped that the roseate views of Mr. Piatt might obtain soon In th Philippines, but that he entertained great doubt. Mr. Hoar's remarks called forth a vig orous utterance 'from Mr. Piatt, who aald that hla respect for the long and distin guished career of the senator from Massa chusetts would prevent him from replying aa he would reply to some others. He be lieved,' he said, that the' American people would regret the ."sneers" of the aenator from Massachusetts at the government to educate the children', of the Philippine Islands. Speaking of the petition tor Independence presented to congress a year ago, to which Mr. boar had referred, Mr. Piatt aald they Wer paraded here cow aa they had been at the time ot their presentation, a posi tive proof that all the Filipino people wanted Independence and freedom from American control. He Intimated that they had been prepared by the Filipino Junta either in Hong Kong or In Boston," and asserted that they bora on their face evi dence of being "machln mad." Tribal to Governor Taft. Mrv Piatt paid a high tribute to Gov ernor Taft and hi associates on the Phil ippine commission, and inquired: "Is what these men say about the Phil ippine Islands to be whistled down by th ind ot our friends oo. the other side, reinforced by the senator from Massachu setts I Personally, I purpose to trust to th Philippine commission. "That oommlsslon has presented evidence of th remarkable evidence of th progress being made In the archipelago toward peace and toward a happy solution of the situation there. Civil government has been estab lished in thirty-four provinces, and that government was being operated to .the en tire satisfaction of the people." Mr. Hoar Interrupted to inquire If Mr, Piatt thought th Filipinos woujd hsv adopted the treason law enacted by ' th Phllippln commission had It ben aub- attted. to litem. ,v i - Th Connecticut aenator replied 'thai he could not' say,, but Connecticut tad's law which the people of that state had . sever found Inconsistent with . their, rights , and liberties. Hs . read th law, which proved to be not dissimilar to that which wa. en acted In th Philippines. - ; Pregress f Edaeatlon.- ' ' He pointed out ss one of the benlflcent results of the American occupancy of the Philippines that schools had been estah liahed In the island and that nearly 1,000 American teachers had one to the archi pelago to educate ' the Filipino ' children. Prior to the arrival of those teachora li the Islands private soldiers from the Amer ican army had been-detailed as teachers In many of the schools. Against this effort of the American government to educate and elevate ths people of the Philippine the senator from Massachusetts, he aald, waa directing hla "sneers and hla denuncla tlons." Mr. Flatt then read the treason law re ferred to by Mr. Hoar to ahow that It waa directed against th formation of secret so cieties, the purpoee ot which was, In whole or In part, the promotion of sedition, rebel lion and treason. 'It seem strange," aald he, "that hu man observation can be ao warped to draw Such conclusions from th enactment ot this law aa had been draws by ths aenator from Massachusetts." Government Will Trlamph. 'If w ar a government worthy of the name." said Mr. Piatt, with great vehe mence, "whenever men take up arms agalnat the United Btates In any district or territory where the United Statea la obaerved, w will put that Insurrection down. No perversion of the glories of liberty, will prevent the American people from putting down rebellion .wherever it may raise its hateful head." In conclusion hs said: "I believe the time Is coming when ths world sbsll be Christianized, when th world shall be controlled by Christian gov ernmeht, and I believe th United 8tates Is appointed, providentially, aa agent for that purpose." Mr. Hoar-replied" particularly to Mr. Platt'a discussion ot the treason law en acted by the Philippine commission and his statementa concerning the Connecticut stat ute, which he had read. -He maintained that the Connecticut senator had not quoted accurately the Philippine statute, because he had omitted a portion ot It, which he asserted sustained the position he (Hoar) had taken and the statements he had mad. The senate at 6:45 p. m. adjourned. DEATH RECORD. Ze K. Briasrs. WEST POINT. Neb., Feb. 11. (Special.) Zed JE.

Hasoall'a motion disposing of the eighty-eight eomplainte atates that they wer heard and fully considered and die posed of, but th record aa made by the City clerk aay that only the Omaha Real Eetate exchange had a hearing and there Is nothing in the. reeord Itself t show that the Shrlver and Morton complaints were ever heard. ; . As I read the statute, it Is the duty of the cfty council, sitting; aa a board of equalisation, to hear all complaints that may be filed. That' Is what they are sit ting as a board ot equalisation for. The law requires them to give notice of the length of time they will sit as a board of equalisation; the object of thla notice la mat ail persons jeenna inoniBtivrn grieved may file complaints and when so filed should be heard by the board. I do not a area with Mr. Moraman In his state mnt that tha council, while sitting as a board of equalisation has no power to raise an assessment, .i nt. cnarier oi muim corporations, metropolitan i-laas, provides for the assessment of property by the tax commissioner ana his deputies. Powers of Board Limited ft a Inn nrnvMea tor "a board of review and th power delegated to that board of review are limited. They almply review the aaaeaament a made ana tney may cor Mt erenra of undervaluation or over.valua- - - . . . , . . tlon, and in casa taey raise me valuation of any property they are required to give the owner notice that he may ahow cause, if any, why the assessment should not be raised, but there te no provision for a tax payer filing a complaint ana nsving a hearing before th board of review. The law requires the city council to sit as a board of equalisation and provides for the adoption by the city council, of rules for the filing and hearing of complaints and whan thea romnlalnts ar filed. they sho-ild be heard and disposed of on their merits and not overruiea or aismiaaea tor mere technicalities, and one of the first things the city council did when It organ ised aa. a board of equalisation was to adopt a rule that all complaints must be In writing and tiled with tne city ciem. xtmtnr th lwiurd nf equalisation overruled the first complaint filed by Shrlver and Morton they had entertained the five com plaints wnicn wer niea Dy ennver arm Morton on January IS, and which torn niini vara m.t th same in form and auhatanre aa th ft rat complaint Died by uM nart ea. -There was no mention mane In the fhst complaint filed that li.tmu.uuo capital stock or tne neoraaaa leiepnon company had not been returned for taxa tion whlrh. under the ststutes of this state I taxable. J nere was no menuuu mum in the first complaint that tn franchise of these different corporations which are taxable had been omitted, but In the last complaint tbeae matters sre all set forth. Aftar tha n una . or ineae laai compiainia. tha rliv council ordered the city clerk to notify the corpora tlona of the time of the bearing which was,, oy mouon. set ior Monday, January 30, at t p. m. It Is urged by the defendants that the motion which waa carried setting Monday, Janjwry uu, at i n mn.. aa a time for healing said com- nlalnts. was in connici wun me ruiea oi tha rltv rouDill. aa a motion had been previously made for the same purpose and lost ana no mouon mauo lv rei-uuaiucr, Retards lavestlscated. But we find from the record that after the motion was made and carried Setting January 20, at t p. m., a a time for hear ing aald complaints, there was a motion made by Haacall striking from the records the previous motion and also a motion by Hascall not to notify the corporations. These motions wer made and carried without a reconsideration of the previous motion, and If one motion was out of order then they were all out of. order. These proceeding were all before the resolution NO.-1M was propoaea ny me cu rnunril as a board of equalisation, ao while reaolutlon in may have disposed ot the previous complaints filed by Bhriver and Morton, It certainly could not affect the last complaint, which was pending for hearing. After the paaalng ot the reaolu tlon 16 and before the time set for the hearing -of the - last complaints, we find the records, or the minutes made by the city. clerk, show that ther were then thlr t v-Ana nrotmta or cosnDlalnts on 111 and not disposed of. and the record further shows that a motion wa made that no further complaints be conaldered or heard and that those on file be overruled without a hearing, which motion waa carried. This was an arbitrary action on the part of the City council and from which it appears that the plaintiffs hav not had a hearing upon the last complaints filed by thorn, and until the city council give them a bearing upon ttuta complaint they should not be permitted to make fch levy. The Injunction will, therefore, be continued tn force until th City council, sitting s board of eo.iallrailon. glvee the plaintiff a fair and Impartial hearing on their rom pUlnta or until the supreme court shall jiaaa upon the mandamua case now pend ing before It. The motion to vacate the temporary Injunction Is .overruled. City Attorney's Arsament. The argument cf City Attorney. Connell occupied an hour of the afternoon aesslon. He said In part: "In view of the decision of the court that the value bt the property of the franchlsed corporations 1 not to be considered, the real question for the court now is whether a hearing had been granted the plaintiffs on (heir complaint that the valuation waa below the 40 per cent baala and ahould be raised." t He then proceeded to make reference to the records Introduced In evidence, showing that a time had been fixed for a hearing of the complaints sgainat the corpora tions; that each ot the corporatlona bad been notified of auch hearing and that In pursuance of such notice the corporatlona and the Complainants bad been heard. He called special attention to th Judgment of the board of equalisation disposing of the eighty-eight eomplainte and determin ing that the valuation of the property of the franchlsed corporations should remain aa fixed and determined by the board of re view. He claimed that Mr. Mcintosh had utterly falKd to meet these points, but bad rested his case entirely on tour proposl Hons. First, that th people were with him; second,' that the sewspapera wer with him; third, that th supreme court was with him. aa evidenced by th order permitting htm to tile bis application for mandamua; fourth, that God was with him. as evidenced on every hand by the wishes of godspeed. "As to the first," said Mr. Connell, "I claim that all good eltUens favor an equal and. Just assessment of property for taxa tion, but I don't beilev any citizens hav ing Omaha's Interest at heart would favor the repudiation of the bonds and coupona of the oily which are aoon to com due, and which wlir greatly Injure the credit ot the city it not paid at maturity. H continued: . . " .. v ' Considers Motlvs) Misunderstood. .' A T hailava that If tha people of Omaha, understood the motive actuating thla contest and th injury It will .do tne city, they would favor his action. It would he a case oi enounng ni .i.w rather than fly to thoee they know not of. As to the newspapers, they are, like In dividuals, often moved Jhy partisan feeling and the court cannot take cognisance of their artloh-s. As to the supreme court, I contend that, had Mr. Mcintosh fully and fairly stated all th facts In his application for mandamus, the court never would have permitted htm to file. It; that to thst court, as to this one, Mr. Mclntoch has purposely omitted to state tome facts that were proper and necessary for a Just determina tion of the controversy. And with refer anra in tha rindaDepd which he claims has been extended to him on every side I would call his attention to tne case oi ananiM nA Kinithlra. .who had fatal ludgment Tironounced against them, not for willful ylng, but tor keeping back the truth. City Attorney Connell then again re ferred to his original contention, that the only question before the court waa whether the aubject matter of the five new com piainia OI tne piemuuB uau ur uau uin been heard, considered and determined by the council in connection with the eighty- eight complaints which Included the nine filed by Morton snd Shrlver, and which re lated sorely 4oihe ralaing of valuations Of the five franchlsed corporations. Attorney . Molntoah argued the Connell motion for nearly an hour Monday after noon and yesterday morning he continued that argument from 9:30 until IS o'clock noon. 'C . ' ..- Object af His -Argament. In bis argument Mr. Mcintosh again went over' aome ef th ground previously covered and ad- innsmerabl authorities which were not confined to those'of Nebraska. He devoted Ale principal effort 'to showing that hla I'cllenta toad never yel had a hearing on their' complaints, that ' they ' wer entitled to be allowed Such a healing, that it is not mandatory that th council pass th levy at the first meeting In February; bvlt that it would b a great "error to paae It aa It now Is, leaving ground tor endlee future suit on th alleged fact that it would be void. He aald: ' . Nothing bad, been adjudicated up to the time of the filing of the Morton-Shrlver complaints and the whole matter, being still before th courts, wa atlll open. But auopose the council bad overruled an previous eomplainte, That would not con stitute an adjudication of these, because 10 such adjudication th parties or their prlvya must b the same; they must sus In the "same right; they must set forth the same ground as a baala tor asking the relief thst they do; and they must ask the same relief. . As to the first, the parties are not the aame) because' Morton and Shrlver are now demanding hearing on these complaints In behalf of all the tax payers ot ths city, not In behalt ot the two-themselves,' as was the case before. They do not sue In the earn right, .for Shrlver ' filed the other as a property owner.- They d hot set forth the aame ground, for now they eotitend that tn baala ot taxation assessment la 40 psr cent and the eorporatlona ar not assessed at. that much, whereae the prevloua conten tion was simply a complaint by Shrlver that pieces of his property, and by Morten that plecea ot hie property were, compared with the corporntiotfs,, sasessed dispropor tionately. And ws ars not suing tor the same relief, -for the old request was simply for a raise of assessments, but we ask that an investigation be made; that the cor poration officers be compelled to produce their books and that tns assessments oe raised to full 40 per cent ot the fair cash value aa ao aacertalned. No Hearing n Thee Complaints. 'I say that nobody ever had a hearing on a complaint auch aa those that were filed January 18. Th proceedings of January IT .war. t la shown right on -ths records, divided .In tlm between th Real Kstate exchange and Ah corporation and : was practically nothing mors than argument n a .demurrer to.th former's petition be cause ot Its form. , And. surely, sn sdjudl cation on a form of proceedure la not an adjudication ot tb merits of ths oomplsint Ths, merits ot .the latter cannot be gone Into., and when, thea people com in here and Ml up th. proceedings ot the 17th as a hearing on thea complaints tit my clients they sre aa false to their duty as were those five-councilman In their blgh-handsd proceedings. .... Lery Wot In Dssgsr. ''Hence your honor cannot aay that th matter of these eomplainte baa been gone Into, nor bold that we hav not a right to hearing. . But counael contends that the levy will be void if not made at tha first meeting in February. I hav two reasons for denying this statement First, tha council is and will be legally prevented from doing so by this Injunction Second, the provision la not a mandatory one, but merely a directory one. It resds thst the council and mayor, ahall pass ths levy ordinance it thla first meetingln February which la on a certain day, yet few ordi nances ever paaa them both oa the aame day. They cannot if the council follow itt own rule. All statutes providing a tlm are purely directory unless the data la th very essence ot the thing required, so that if thla injunction is continued a valid tag may be levied after there haa been time for a hearing and a raising of the assess ments. Counsel simply realties that this plea of Invalidity at latter date Is about bis otily ground for the present action be urges." Attarney Mcintosh Closes. After repesttng. tor ths saks of emphasis .bis former argument oa th constitutional requirement that capital etork and ffse- chlsses be assessed equally with other val uable property, and aasertlng that every taxpayer haa a right to demand that thla be done, any willful omlssloo Invalidating ths whole levy, he closed with a mor or less personal attack on the councllmen who hav been recognised aa th Instruments ot th corporation, saying; , "We affirm and they admit that It thla levy la mad on th assessment as it saw stands w will be taxed 10 per cent mfr than we should be, becsuae these corpora tlona hav gone Into pontic and got con trol of the city. The crying evil of the community today la th high -handed cor ruption and the evasion ot taxation by the local corporatlona. It la what underllea the discredit ot the. city at home and abroad. While cltliena are attending to their busi ness duties and spending their nights with their families, these corporations' emissa ries go about achsmlng and working to elect their tools to public efflce."

FRIEDOHIOHS Indirectly Caused tho Death of th World's Greatest General. It is a matter of history that Napoleon waa a gormand. an Inordinate lover ot tha good things of the table, and trfatory further records that hla favorlts dish wss fried onlona hla death from cancer ot the stom ach. It la claimed also, waa probably caused from his excessive Indulgence Of this fond nesa for the odorous vegetable. The onion Is undoubtedly a wholesoms article of food, in fact; it has many medici nal qualltlea ot value, hut It would be diffi cult to find a more undlgsatlble article than fried onions, and to many people they sre simply poison, but the onion doea not atand alone In this respect. Any artie'e Of food that is not thoroughly dlgestsd be comes a source of disease snd discomfort, whether .It be fried onions or beefsteak. ' The reaaon why any . wholesoms food Is not properly digested la becaus th stom ach lacks some Important element of di gestion; some stomachs laok peptons. Others srs deficient In gastrin Juice, still' others lack hydrochloric acid. ,, Tbs on thing necessary to do la any case ef poor digestion la to aupply tboee ele ments of digestion which the stomach lacks, and nothing does this ao thoroughly and safely as Stuart's pyspepela Tablets. Dr. Richardson, In writing a thesis on treatment of dyspspsta and indigestion, closes his remarks by saying: ."Foribos suffering from acid dyapepsla, shown by aour, watery risings, or for flatulent dys- pepsls, shown by gas on stomach, causing heart trouble and dlffloult breathing, aa well aa for other forms of stomach trouble, the safest treatment Is, to tk ens or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta after., each meal. I advise them because they eoataln no harmful drugs, but are eomposed of valu able digestive,, which sot promptly . apon th food eaten. I never knew case ot Indigestion or even ebronls dyspepsia which Stuart's Dyspepsls Tablsls would , not reach." , Cheap' cathartie medloines claiming to ours dyspepsia and indigestion can have do effect whatever In actively digesting the food, and to call any cathartic medicine a cure for Indigestion Is a misnomer. Every druggist In the United States snd Csnsds sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta, and they ars not only ths safest and most successful, but the most scientific, ot any treatment', for Indigestion and , stomach troubles. -' ' ' ' -' - AMl'IBMBXTI.
