Phe Texas Representative’s Comments on a Question About His Dress. Apropos the many fake stories going the rounds of the newspapers abou‘ dffferent Congressmen, there is a funny one about Representative Bailey, which seems to be raving widespread circulation. It has even called forth lengthy editorials from some newspapers,’ and the plain but neatly dressed Texan has been made to appear somewhat in the light of a dude. The story 1s published in the shape of an interview, in which Mr. Bailéy talks about his man- ner of dress. It quotes him as sayiag that he dresses himself as he does “because it becomes him, and because it pleases his wife,” together with a lot of stuff which arouses the belligerent qualities of the Texan whenover he reads it. A New York man sent one of these articles to Mr. Pailey a few days ago. The following answer was sent to the gentleman: “I have received your letter inquiring if I have ever made the statements attributed to me in a newspaper clipping which you inclose. It is probable that I have said some of the things which this article rep- resents me as saying, but there are some things in it which I did not say. It is cer- tain that I have never said that I wear particular kind of clothes ‘because they be- come me, and please my wife.’ The truth is, that I dress as I do simply because I am accustomed to it, and never give it 2. thought one way or the other. You will permit me to say, without ‘ntending to of- fend you, that I do not consider it any- body’s business how anybody else dresses, provided only they are clean and decent. i do not myself criticise any other man’s ap- parel, and I think the d—n fools ought to Jet mine alone.” ——————~o+—___ His Will Filed. The will of the late Dennis McGrath, dated February 11, 1893, and filed today, ap- Points the widow of the testator, Mary Mc- Coee executrix, and makes her sole bene- = Unly Granted on Cer- The Rescue Mug{ Hg im the: Vicinity of a Life-Saying! Station—Pro- posed Change of, Law. —— Congress has beencailed upon to correct an apparent anomaly’ the laws in regard to the bestowal of medals for heroic efforts in rescuing the stip¥recked and saving persons from drowning. The powers of the Secretary of the Treasury are seriously circumscribed at present by a recent con- struction of the statutes on the subject by the Attorney General. That official has given an opinion that the statutes authorizing the award of life-saving medals apply to the rescue of those persons only who, in the vicinity of a life-saving sta- tion, life-boat station or house of refuge, are in danger of drowning in any of the waters over which the United States, by reason of their right to regulate foreign and interstate commeree, have jurisdiction, and that the purpose of such statutes is to cause such medals “to” be bestowed upon the members, whether regular or volunteer, and whether permanent or temporary, of the life-saving crews, and that the terms “succoring the shipwrecked” and “saving persons from drowning,” employed in sec- tion 12, act approved June 18, 1878, au- thorizing the bestowel of life-saving medals of the second class, were intended to em- brace only those persons who were suffer- ing from the perils of the sea, either by actual shipwreck or from being upon or connected with any vessel in distress. Restricted to Official Life Savers. This construction of the laws restricts the award of life-saving medals to members of life-saving crews and to persons who may save life “in the vicinity of a life- saving station,” a limitation, which the treasury officials, Including the general superintendent of the life-saving service, feel was not contemplated in the statutes bearing on the subject. Life-saving crews are paid by the government for the per- formance of services for which the-medals are awarded, and heretofore they have only been so’ recognized In Specially mene torious cases. Up to the receipt of the opinion in question the department has acted on the theory~that medals might be awarded for any act of heroism looking to the saving of life in the jurisdictional waters of the United States, regardless of Person or place, and many brave citizens have been so honored. Could Not Have a Medal. A gentleman named Lynd recently en- dargered his life in a fruitless attempt to rescue a shipwrecked party during a storm on Lake Huron. It was admitted that his conduct merited official recognition, but it was found that a medal could not be awarded him for the reason that he was not a member of a life-saving crew and because the act he performed was not in the vicinity of a life-saving station. In fact, this was the case that drew forth the opinicn of the Attorney General above referred -to. Senator McMillan of Michigan became in- terested in the case and introduced a bill in the Senate to anfend the laws so as to extend their benefits tg citizens generally. This bill was referred to tne committee on commerce and by that committee was re- ferred to Secretary Carlisle for an expres- sion of his views on the subject. Proposed New Bill. Secretary Carlisle wrote to the commit- tee today advocating the passage of the bill In an amended form, so that it shail provide as follows ‘That so much of the acts relating to life-saving stations and the life-saving service, approved June 20, 1874; June 18, 1878, and May 4, 1882, as provide for the award of life-saving medals shall be construed so as te empower the Sge- retary of the Treasury to bestow such nredals upon persons hereafter making sig- nal exertions in rescuing and succoring the shipwrecked and saving persons trom drownirg in the waters over which the United States has jurisdiction, whether said persons making such exertions were or were not merabers of a life-saving crew or whether or not such exertions were made in the vicinity of a life-saving sta- tion.” HIS OLD TRICKS. James Henderson in the Police Toils Once More. Jams H. Henderson, alias Basil Jackson, eclored, was at one time a clerk in the pen- sicn office. He is an expert penman, and this has been the means of getting him in trouble more than once. When he was first arres‘ed he was reieased under a suspen- sicn of sentence, later he was pardoned from the renitentiary, and now he is again in the toils. Henderson belongs in Stock- dale, Miss., where his wife and children ard his aged father live. When he went to Albany under 4 three years’ sentence he wrote letters to the President, in which he teld cf his family connections, and so touching were nis appeals that a pardon was granted. The man who was thus fa- vered had promised to return to his wife and new-born chiid, but when he reached kere he changed his mind, and stopped to get a uew start in life. People who had been his friends during his better days contributed money for him, ard, not satisfied with this, it is alleged, he again resorted to forgery, and although he succeeded in getting the money, Detec- tive Lacy was equally successful in get- ting him. 2 It is charged that he forged the name of Alexander W. Windley to a note for $30, and had it discounted by Boyd McKnight for $75. Broker McKnight gave him a check for the money, and t he got casn- ed at Robinson, Chery & Co.'s clothing storé, where he impersonated Windley, who is janitor of the Sumner school buildin When arrested last night Detective y found $42 on him. He was locked up, and will be given a hearing in the Police Court tomorrow. —— NEW YORK AVENUE CHURCH. Annual Meeting Held Last Night— Change in the Masical Service. The annual meeting of New York Avenue Presbyterian Church was held last night and was largely atterided. The report of the session was presented by Mr. 8. L. Crissey, showing an encouraging spiritual and financial condition of affairs. The net increase of membership during the year ending February 29: was 37; total active membership at that date, 1,234. The total amount contributed Wy members of the charch to all objééts Was nearly $2,300, an increase of abouty$2,000 over the contribu- tions of the previdtis ydar. All the agencies of the church, including the Faith and Bethany missiongl’ were reported to be flourishing; the Women’s Home and For- eign Missionary sopfetigs have been consolt- dated into one organizaficn, to be called the Women’s Missionary *Society, under the presidency of Mrs’J. W. Foster. Messrs. H. @. Claughton and_N. A. Robbins were re- elected elders and‘Mes#rs. C. E. Foster, J. R. Imbrie and Phitip'F. Larner, deacons. Noble D. Larner, chairman of the board of trustees, read BG, ara of that body, which included a statement comparing the financial and physical status of the church at the end of th¢! yet with that at the close of the year’dndéd February 28, 1895, showing an improvement in both respects, ‘The trustees whcse terms had expired were re-elected. The most interesting feature of the meet- ing was the consideration of the question of changing the form of the musical part of the worship. At present, the congrega- tion is led by a precentor; a desire had been expressed that a choir and leader should be substituted, and upon that the mem- bers of the session were equally divided, and there was considerable opposition to the change in the:congregation. The mat- ter was referred to the congregation, and Mr. Justice Harlan proposed an amendmént to the by-laws, the effect of which, if adepted, would be to instruct the session to make the change. This was discussed for some time, and finally adopted by a vote of 98 to 40. It is not known when the session will autherize the change to be made. - (Continued from First Page.) within the District of Columbia, and at next Friday’s meeting the question of whether the Georgetown Gas Company should be favored with a higher price will be discussed. The Old @olored People’s Home. Senate bill 886, introduced by Mr. Peffer to provife a home for aged and infirm colored people, was next taken up and dis- cussed. The bill proposes to use a fund now in hand amounting to about $250,000, for the purpose, of establishing such a home, but the committee came to the con- clusion that it would not be wise or equit- able to use this money, which is held in the interest of the colored people of the whole country, to establish an institution located in this city, where it would benefit only a comparatively small number of them. The Senators believed that it would be better to distribute the money among the various educational institutions already established in different parts of the country, and so expend it for educational rather than char- itable purposes. It was thought that each community would probably be able to pro- vide for the care of the aged and infirm of this race. Atcordingly, Senators Pritchard and Harris were directed to get up a bill ‘that will provide for the distribution of this fund in this manner for the benefit of the colored race in general. This, of course, disposes negatively of the proposition to establish an institution in this city. Employers’ Liability. The bill introduced by Mr. Lodge relat- ing to the Hability of employers in the District to make compensation for personal injuries suffered by employes in their serv- ice was referred to Senators Baker and Faulkner, with instructions to ascertain what the law now is in the District of Columbia on this subject and to report whether it should be changed or not. It was stated that the courts here have in times past made some very strong decis- fons in this line that have material- ly changed the common law, and it was decided to be a wise precaution to examine into the exact state of the law before acting upon this measure. Pablic Administrator Bill Rejected. The Senate bill introduced by Mr. Har- rls to provide for the appointment of a public administrator in the District was rejected by the committee, and a favor- able report was ordered to be made in its stead upon Senate bill 1703, introduced by Mr. McMillan. at the request of the Dis- trict Commissioners, which amends sectién 416 of the Revised Statutes relating to the District, so as to turn into the funds of the Orphans’ Court all moneys left by per- sons dying intestate without heirs in the District. The surplus of this money over and above expenses is to be given to the fir:mer’s relief fund. The records of the court show that the moneys so left in the hands of the court amount to very little, being only in sums of a few dollars, and so it was not deemed advisable to create a new public office for such a small pur- pose. To Regulate Medical Colleges. A favorable report was ordered on Sen- ate bill 913, providing for the incorporation and regulation of :nedical colleges in the District, formulated by the Commission- ers. Similar action was taken on ‘he bill introduced by Mr. Morrill, Senate 981, relat- ing to the testimony of physicians in the ccurts of the District, with the amendment to provide that prysicians shall not be obliged to give any jnformation of a con- fidential character. The bill for the relief cf Emmart, Dunbar & Company, to pay for work done by that firm for the District, was favorably report- ed to the Senate by the direction of the committee. The bill for the relief of Anton Gloetzner, to enable him to hold property. notwith- standing the law regarding the right of aliens in this regard, was favorably acted upon. There was no opposition to the bill _re- cently introduced at the request of the Dis- trict Commissioners defining the standard shape and size for dry measures to be used in the District, and the bill was reported favorably to the Senate. Senator Faulkner's amendment providing for the appointment of a reporter for the Court of Appeals of the District was pa by the committee and reported favo to the Senate. + DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. Court House Improvements. The Senate yesterday afternoon passed the bill appropriating $2,700 to alter certain rooms in the court house in this city. Great Falls Water Rights. The District committee of the Senate this afternoon gave a hearing to Col. George B. Elliot, retired, on the subject of the bill providing for the taking of all the water rights at Great Falls by the government, now under consideration in committee. Col. Elliot has had long experience in this line, and he gave the committee some valuable information relating to the bill, which is now practically in shape for a favorable report to the Senate. The committee has great faith in Col. Elliot’s judgment in all such matters, and his strong recommenda- tion in favor of the taking of all the water right to the falls has practically insured at least a favorable report from the com- mittee on this measure, if not a favorable action by the Senate. —___-e.______. CAPITOL ‘TOPICS. A Delegate for Alaska. The committee on territories of the House yesterday voted to report favorably to the House the bill introduced by Mr. Scranton of Pennsylvania for a delegate from Alas- ka. Under the bill the delegate is to hold his seat in Congress on the same terms as the delegate from other territories. The Maritime Canal Bill. A bill to incorporate the maritime canal of North America to corinect the Hudson river and the great lakes was introduced yesterday in the Senate by Senator Hans- brough of North Dakota, and in the House by’ Representative Cooper of Wisconsin. The canal system for which the bill pro- vides includes canals from the head of tidewater navigation on the Hudson to Lake Champlain; from the head of Lake St. Francis to the St. Lawrence river, above the long Sault rapids; from Lewiston on the Niagara river to a point on the river above the falls, and authority to deepen and widen the Champlain and Hudson canal is asked. ‘The channels are to be twerity feet deep, to permit two of the largest vessels draw- ing twenty feet to pass, and the locks are to admit vessels 50 feet long and*sixty-five wide. The plans are to be approved by a board of five engineers appointed by the Secretary of War, the canal is to be under the control of the interstate commerce commission, and the government is by the bill authorized to take possession of the property on one week's nvtice by paying the value of the property. A Good Roads, Hearing. The House committee on agriculture yes- terday gave a hearing on good roads, based on the bill introduced by Representative Charles W. Stone of Pennsylvania, creating a special commission on highways, whose éuty it should be to inquire generally how the government may further promote the improvement of highways. Representative Stone explained the bill. E. G. Harrison of New Jersey, representing the national league of good roads, set forth the im- portance of good material in road construc- tion. Mr. Samms of Maryland spoke of the wheelman’s interest in good roads. Prof. Holmes of North Carolina showed how the educational interests would be benefited by good roads. H. W. Anderson, the secretary of the Virginia State Road Association, and Sterling Elliott of Boston, representing the League of American Wheelmen, also spoke. Gen. Stone of the Agricultural Department said his bureau had sent out from the office of road inquiry 10,000 letters to the most intelligent and experienced farmers in the United States, and applied the data so obtained to the census returns. The re- sult was to confirm the estimates of experts that the total bad roads tax, direct and in- direct, exceeds $500,000,000 yearly. Such a tax, he said,approximated one-fourth of the home value of all farm products in the United States; but it went without saying that this burden was not all borne by the farmers. > Their Convention. The Successful Candidates Declared to Be for Free Silver When It Comes to a Choice. Like ‘almost everything else, the result of the democratic convention yesterday strikes different people in different ways. The sound money members of the party here are apparently delighted cver the action of the committee on resolutions in ignoring the financial qvesticn altogether, and seem to think that this was in the nature of a vic- tory for their faction in the party. On the other hand, the advccates of free silver de- clare that the silence of the convention on the subject is not to be taken as indicative of the approval of sound money claims. They say that the fact that no proposition whatever was made to the committee on resolutions looking to the approval of the present fi: ancial system of the government was proof positive that there was no hope for its securing any substantial support, and they further declare that they had long ago agreed that the silver question should be kept in the background in the conven- tion and the selection of delegates made the sole business to be considered. A Free Silver Delegation. Some of the bolder of the champions of the white metal declare that the deiega- tion elected to Chicago is composed of men who are willing and ready to vote for any Proposition which provides fur the recogni- tion of silver as a n.oney metal, while five out of the six are claimed to be in favor of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. These five are said to be Messrs. Jordan, Boyle, Morgan, Killeen and Mattingly,while Mr. Holmead is claimed as a believer in bi- metallism under an increased ratio. There was considerable regret expressed this morning at the defeat of Mr. Forrest, and it transpired during the day that Mr. Boyle was unable to hold his delegates to the sup- port of his Georgetown friend. It was stated that when Mr. Boyle heard the an- nouncement of the vote in the seventh dis- trict he went to Dr. Bently and begged him to change it to Mr. Forrest from Mr. Kil- jJeen. but that the delegation refused to listea to him. It was rumored today that many of the friends of Mr. Forrest who were influential in democratic affairs would add their ef- forts to the attempt now being made to Prevail upon the national convention to Chicago to ignore the recommendation of the national committee that six delegates be admitted from the District. Mr. For- rest, however, dces not countenance such a course, but the facts are stated, neverthe- jess. Mr. Killeen Supports Mr. Gardn The election of Messrs. Holmead and the other four members of the combine and Mr. Killeen, it is claimed, pretty nearly as- sures Mr. Lawrence Gardner a place in the next democratic national committee us member from the District of Columbia. While the delegates will not talk for publi- cation on the subject, it is no secret that they are in favor of Mr. Gardner and that it was part of the combine’s program to elect him to such a place. All doubts as to Mr. Killeen’s position on this important question were set at rest this morning when he gave Mr. Gardner his unsolicited promise that he would suppcrt him for the national committee. The effort which The Star has frequently mentioned as being made to influence the party leaders in the various states to work against the admis- sion of six votes from the District is still being exerted, and it was said today that it would be directed toward having only the two receiving the highest number of votes in the convention here admitted at Chicago. Mattingly and Morgan. These two are Messrs. Mattingly and Morgan, both of whom are members of the combine, but neither of whom has been in politics long or substantially enough to make any very bitter enemies. It is be- lieved, too, that neither one of these gen- Uemen is particularly ardent in his support of Mr. Gardner for national committeeman, and as the only thing the delegation to Chi- cago can really accorplish so far as the District is concerned is the making of a member of that body, there will be lots of energy expended to carry out the program thus indicated. Well-informed democrats, however, do not admit that there is any Possibility of the six delegates being re- fused seats. They say that if the conven- tion does not desire to give the District more than two votes it will still seat the delegation, allowing each member of it to cast one-third of a vote. This would still insure the continued control of the com- bine in all matters affecting the program it mapped out when first formed. Georgetown Democrats Are Angry. ~The defeat of Mr. Forrest is causing a good deal of comment among the George- town democrats. It was conceded by ail the demccrats of the city that this section of the District should have a_representa- tive on the delegation, and Mr. Forrest was the choice for the office. Before the convention assembled it was pretty certain that Forrest would have been elected, enouga votes being promised to insure this in return for the support of the solid six votes from Georgetown. In Georgetown the claim is openly made that Forrest was knifed by his fricnds, and there is sincere regret at his defeat, as well as much in- dignation that the democrats of the West End have no representative on the ticket. — More About Marquette. To the Editor of Tbe Evening Star: In yesterday’s issue of The Star an article signed “T.,” claims that Marquette’s statue is as much entitled to a place in Statuary Hall in the Capitol, from Wisconsin, as is the statue of Roger Williams from Rhode Island; that Marquette as properly repre- resent Rhode Island; that Williams was a churchman, as was Marquette; that Roger Williams was not a citizen of the state of Rhode Island. The fact is that Roger Williams’ statue was placed in the Capitol because of political services (althouga he may have been a churchman also), he having founded the colony, the very foundation of the state, al- though not then called a state. Marquette rendered no services except to the Catholic Church; not political in any sense. After founding the colony, Roger Williams made it his home, and died there. The first settle- ment in Wisconsin was made before Mar- quette came to America. He came to Can- ada in 1665, established a mission (set up an altar for worship) at Mackinaw af- terward went through Wisconsin, establish- ed another mission at Kaskaskia, in Illinois, returned to Michigan, where he died, near the site of Grand Rapids, and i were afterward taken to Mac! was in America less than ten years, pe: forming religious services only; never found- eda colony or settlement anywhere. Statuary Hall has been given up to the placing of statues of persons who rendered political services, not religious services (the word political 4s not here usad in a partisan sense). The statue of John or Charles Wes- ley would be as much out of place the: that of Marqueite. Church and state must be kept separate in order to avoid ‘touble, and the Catholics should not try to mix them. I am not a member of any church, don’t attend any church, don’t belong to any secret order and only know one man who belongs to the A. P. A., but I am unal- terably opposed to placing the statue of any churchman in the Capitol, if his church work is the only thing for which he shoald be honored. I would oppose statues of Wes- ley, Phillips Brooks and others as earnest- ly as I oppose Marquette’s, and I believe the general public does so. Let the churches, and not the national government, honor the priests and preachers as they like! L. —— Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: John Venie and Una Gra: Henry Bannister and Georgia A. Gree Nelson E. Beale and Lizzie Kelly; Dennis J. Reardon and Mary A. McGraw; Harry Holland and Sarah Randall, both of Fred- erick county, Md; James West and Luve- nia Johnson; Charles H. Christ and Daisy R.

HEROISMISTREET EXTENSION | ‘LAS OF ALL CONCERNED EMPEROR FREDERICK. Ona Great Scientist. = It Was While Crown Prince of * Germany. . Honorary Member of the National So- ciety. To attain to membership in ‘the National Society of Germany is one of the greatest honors, as it is also one of the highest ambitions, in medical science. The late Emperor Frederick, while Crown Prince of Germany, was him- self at the head of that distinguished society, which had on its membership roll some of the most learned and fa- mous men in all Europe. It was while at the head of the Na- tional Society that the Crown Prince conferred the title of honorary mem- ber of this famois association upon JOHANN HOFF, in recognition of the merits of the Genuine JOHANN HOFF’S MALT EXTRACT. This appointment was but one of the many illustrations of the late Emperor's interest in and admiration for all scientific research. In acknowledging the great and increasing merits of the JOHANN HOFF PREPARATION, he gave to that great nerve and nutritive tonte an official imperial indorse- ment, more important in its effect and more effectual than could pos- sibly come from almost any other source. Ask for the Genuine JOHANN HOFF’S MALT EXTRACT. Avoid substitutes. MR. SHERMAN’S SPEECH. = ee He Believes Cuba Should Have In- dependence or Home Rule. Senator Sherman concluded his speech on the Cuban resolution yesterday afternoon shortly after The Star’s report closed. He reiterated his belief that it was the duty of Congress to declare specifically that there isa war prevailing in Cuba, and to recognize the fact by declaring thir bellig- erency, 8 as not to give Spain an advan- tage in our commerce over the Cubans. He did not believe that war would be the re- sult of such a declaration. There would be no occasion for it, for in taking this step we should be doing nothing that we ought not to do. On the contrary this country had been very slow in doing what it ought to do, in the proper treatment of the struggling patriots in Cuba. “I respect Spain,” he concluded. “‘Centu- ries ago she was the mcst powerful coun- try in Europe. She cortrolled not only the peninsula, but the Netherlands and vast possessions in the new world. All her wars, however, were conducted with a degree of vfolence never recognized as proper by English speaking people. Spain fought with a bitterness that has no equal. She has lost her high station in Europe. But I trust the time fs not far distant when the new blood in Spain will make her the second republic of Europe. The ten- dency is in that directidn. There is a large and strong republican faction In Spain. If Spain were to renew again the treaty of Zampa of 1878 and carry out the reforms then premised I dare say the people of Cuba would eagerly accept the terms. But failing to do that,my opinion is that the war should not end, that it should continue until Mdepende=ce is achieved or home rule for the island is secured. If home rule were secured all the essentials of the greatest of republics would be obtained. Canada _is as much of a republic as the United States. Her government is her own. She is only bound to the home govern- ment by the ties of auld lang syne. This continent is the natural soil of republics. We should encourage all whe are strug- gling to join in the vast procession of the nage mages’ which shall eventu- ally furnish the example for th the civilized world.” a iS siaPade At the conclusion of Mr. Sherman's re- marks Mr. Morgan secured the floor, but yleided immediately in order that the de- bate on the Du Pént election case could Proceed. Mr. Pritchard addressed the Sen- ate in advocacy of the majority report in favor of seating Mr. Du Pont. —————-_e -—_______ District Loses. A verdict was rendered this morning in the case of Mrs. Louise Mohler, widow of Wm. H. Mohler, against the District, in favor of Mrs. Mohler, awarding her the amount claimed by her, $1,727.30, with in- terest from April 26, 1893. Mr. Mohler in 1888 constructed sewers for the District, amounting to about $20,000. He agreed, it is said, to keep the work in repair for five years, the District reserving the sem of $1,741.30 to secure the making of such repairs. At the expiration of the five years Mrs. Mohler demanded the sum, less $14, allowed for repairs. Payment wag refused, the District claiming that the work had proved defective. She thereupon sued the Di.trict, the case being tried be. fore Juige Cole yesterday afternoon. The District failed to set up a good defense, and this morning the above verdict was rendered. Messrs. Samuel Maddox and Henry E. Davis represented Mrs. Mohler, The District will probably note an appeal to the Court of Appeals. Dr. Griffin of the Catholic University de- livered one of the most enjoyable lecturet of the winter course at the Holy Cros# Academy yesterday. His subject was a trip up the Rhine, and the pictures which werg painted by the speaker will linger a creat while in the minds of those who heard the iecture. All the places of interest were pointed out during the trip and a large au- dience followed every point with close at- tention. DON'T POISON YOURSELF Food is Poison if Allowed to Ferment in Your Stomach. Putri food contains poisons so dangerous that they cause effects similar to alkaloids which @rug, gists are not allowed to sell to the public. No wonder so many of us become dangerously sick from indigestion! For what is indigestion? It is putrid (undigested) food in the stomach. ‘The poisons of undigested food are absorbed inte the blood, and affect the liver, the merves, the kid- ners, the heart and all the organs of the body. They cause weaknew, lethargy, headache, dizl- ness, mental depression, bad taste, stomach-ache, fever, flatulence, palpitation, nausea, constipation, loss of appetite, jaundice, prostration, anacmia, rheumatism, ete. They can be got rid of only by helping the stom- ach to digest its food, and this is done by the Shaker Digestive Comdial. You will rever be strong or healthy so long as you suffer from Indigestion, so long as you allow your stomach to taint your system with the poisons of putrid food. And, as tor & cure, nothing will cure rou #0 quickly as Shaker Digestive Cozdial, nothing so certainly relieve your pain and discomfort, or give you new strength, energy and endurance. At druggists.
