All his hopes are ab- sorbed by the one hope to get well and again be able to enjoy the good | things of life. Until this is realized | he is sick at heart and feels himself | to be of little use.

They are sure because | they are natural and no other cure but a natural one is sure. They act jon the food and digest it just as well as 4 stomach would. They contain | exactly the same chemical properties as the digestive fluids of the' stomach. By putting Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lets in a bottle or jar with any kind | of food, meat, €E€gs or vegetables, with | sufficient amount of water, the proc., ess of digestion is carried out just as| it is in a healthy hunian stomach and | in the same time.

Lord | | Abinger suddenly complained of a feel- ing of dizziness and started down a stairway toward an exit in order to reach the open air. down the stairs he fell and rolled to the foot of the stairway. When as- sistance reached him he was found to be unconsclous and was removed to the hospital, where he died soon after his arrival, the physicians giving heart dis- ease ns the cause. The police authori- ties advised the British embdssy of Lord Abinger's decease. Lord Abinger's mother, who is a daughter of the late Commodore Ma- gruder, U. §. N., arrived here from England to-night-in response to a tel- egram sent to her this morning an- | nouncing her son’s death. She will con- vey the remains to England for in- terment. Lord Abinger was unmarried. Lady Abinger met her husband in Montreal when a large body of British | troops was sent there in anticipation | of trouble during the Mason and Slidell affair in 1861. Her brother, Major Ma- gruder, formerly of Washington, has lived here many years. OAKLAND, Dec. 12.—John Stanhope | Bngs Sr. died yesterday at his home, 7028 Filbert street, at the age of 65 yvears.
