IS A SERIOUS MATTER. The Most Serious and Fatal Diseases Arise From Indigestion. Chronic indigestion or Dyspepsia, ‘while a very common trouble, has for some time been looked upon by able physicians a sericus thing and that no time should e lost in treating it properly at the start, because recent researches have shown that the most serlous, fatal and incurable diseases have their origin in simple dys- pepsia or indigestion. Diabetes is simply one form of indi- gestion, the sugar and starchy food not being assimilated by the digestive organs. In Bright's disease the albumen is not properly assimilated. While consumption and dyspepsia are twin discases, it s beyond question that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for the seeds of consumption. But the trouble kas been to find & rcrgedv t;:;;t Could be depended upon to cure dyspepsid, as it is nutgr?ously obstinate and dimcult to cure. This has heen the question which has puzzled physiclans and dyspeptics alike, until the question was solved three years ago by the appearance of a new discovery | in the medical world, known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which it was claimed certain, reliable cure for every form of stomach trouble. Physicians, nowever, would not accept ¢h siatements without first giving the w remedy many tests and carefully serving results. r three years the remedy has been thoroughly tested in every section of the | country and with surprising and satls- factory results. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets can be hon- estly claimed to be a specific, a radical, sting cure for indigestion in the various forms of acld dyspepsia or sour stomach, gas or wind on stomach, too much bile, undue fullness or pressure after eating and similar symptoms resulting from dis- ordered digestion. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets were not placed before the public until this three veass' trial left no doubt as to their valuo and they have recently been placed in the trade and can be found on sale at ail druggists’ at the nominal price of 50 cents per package. No extravagant claims are made for the remedy. It will not cure rheumatism, pneumonia, typhoid fever ‘nor anything but just what it is claimed to cure and that is every form of stomach trouble. No dieting is necessary; gocd, wholesome food and plenty of it and you may rest assured that Stvart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest it. Druggists claim for it that it is a pleasure to recommend it to dys- peptics, because it gives such universal satisfaetio: per time a purchaser will be in sight. rrived at the timber district, they are shown a belt of timber and told that the whole country is like it, and that when they have seen one quarter-section | bandit and stage robber, who was sen- | her for good conduct during her term of ADVERTISEMENTS.

During the past twenty-six years tem- | perance legislation in the province of On- | tarlo has realized the following practical | results, says Outlook: |in the province 61 licenses granted; in | 1901, 2950; in 1875, one license to each 278 persons; in 1801, one license to each persons. Local optic is in force in 141 | municipalities out of 73 i one-fifth of the cense. By a large number this is constd- | ered satisfactory progress, but by the | leaders of the temperance organizations prohibition is still regarded as the sol- vent. To discover the mind of the people in regard to prohibition the Ontario Gov- ernment took a plebiscite in 1804. As 2 large majority were by that vote in favor of such a law it was urged by temperance workera that a bill should be introduce which Sir O. Mowat, than Premier of On- tario, promised to do as soon as it was known what the powers of the provincial legislatures were. This was ascertained by the Manitoba liquor act, which was last year declared constitutional by the | Privy Council at London. The Hon. G. | W. Ross, who succeeded as Premier and | leader of the Liberal party, had repeated on behalf of his government the pledge given by Bir O. Mowat, and was now called upon to fulfill it. Last February Ross introduced a bill which was prac- | tically a copy of the Manitoba act, with | the exception of an additionai clause | providing for a referendum to he taken { December 4. To provide against the act | coming into force unless a majority of | polis, the bill requires that prohibitionists | shall poll not:less than one-half of the | vote polled in the general election of 1835 —that is, the prohibitionists must poll not | less than 217,000 votes. At the recent general election for the | Legisiature prohibitionists had an oppor- tenity to express themselves. In a few | constituencies prohibition candidates were but up, but not one of them elected. | In most of the constitucncies the prohil tion vote was divided between the two political parties. The result of the elec- tion was a bare majority of one for the Government in the Legislature. At pres- ent the prospect is not bright for the pro- hibitionists to poll the number of votes required for the adoption of the act. SOME PRE-COLUMBIAN CUSTOMS OF PORTO RICO Anthropologists Develop Many In- teresting Facts About Our West Indian Isles. At the Pittsburg meeting of the Amer- Sclences, Professor Fewkes, chalrman of the section of anthropology, made an ad- dress upon prehistoric Porto Rico, from which the following paragraphs are | taken: The language of the Porto Ricans, when Columbus landed, was one of the mest widely distributed ‘World, extending as it did from Central Scuth America to the coast of Florida.

The unit of or- ganization was the clan, whose chief was called a caclque. Certain of these chiefs caciques for mutual defense occurred oc- casicnally.

It says: “When the time comes for final proof | @ proposition is made by the ‘capitalist’ ! to loan the necessary money, provided a i pewer of attorney is given to sell the land, and after paying all expense to di- vide the profits with the entryman.

A man who is nervous, whose brain and body are weals, who sieeps bad- Iy, awakes more tired than when he went to bed, who is easily discouraged, inclined to brood over imaginary troubles, who has lost ambition and en- ergy to tackle hard problems, lacks the animal electricity which the Dr. Me- Laughlin Electric Belt supplies. The whole force of vitality in your body is dependent upon your animal electricity. When you lose that by draining the system in any manner my Belt will replace it, and cure you. Mr. Harry C.

Already I can feel the vigor of new life in my body; no aches and no pains. I wish you every success in your work.' Letters like that tell a story which means a great deal to a sufferer. They are a beacon light to the man who has become discouraged from use- less doctoring. I get such letters every day. My Belt has a wonderful influence upon tired. weak nerves.
