Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-called patent medicines con- taining injorious ingredients as broadly blished In some f':nmm of more or influence, this pubiicity has certainly been of great benefit in arousing needed attention to this subject, It has, in a considerable measure, resulted in the foods snd medicines as may b = {airly sus- Xeaed of containing the injurious ingre- jents complained of. Recognizing this | fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of Buffaio, N. Y., "took time by the forelock,” as it were, and published broadcast all the ingredients of which his popular medi- cjmes are MW Thus etely forestalled all harping critics and all opposition that might otherwise be u against his medicines, because they are pow OF ENOWN OOMPOSITION. Fur- thermore, from the formala printed on every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that | these icines contain no _aleohol or other habit-forming drufs. Neither do they contaim any narcotics or injurious their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots of medicinal plants found growing in the d:-g,.tbs of our American forests and of well recognized curative virtues. Instead of alcohol, which even in small portions long continued, as in obstinate cases of diseases, becomes highly objec- tionable from its tendency to_produce a craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce em- ploys chemically pure, triple - refined glycerine, which of itself is a valuable remedy in many cases of chronic diseases, being a superior demulcent, antiseptic, sntiferment and supporting nutritive.

WILL SOME DAY BE FERTH Some day, long after the volcano gets tired and goes to sleep again and the molten lava hardens, vegetation will flourish on this new territory as on that of Savail spared by the volcano.

From early morning un- til long after noon a dense pall of ssmoke and clouds hung over the city, making it ome of the darkest days ever experlenced here. All the stores were lighted as though it were pight and the street cars ran with lamps Iit and headlights -blazing as in the night time. At times it was not possible to see more than one square in any direction. Much difficulty was experienced in the streets, the darkness causing many collisions. On the Board of Trade for the first time in many years there was no announcement of the price of cash wheat at the closing of the ses- slon. Dealers pronounced it impossible to de- termine the character of samples because of . the darkness. The Weather Bureau declared the darkness to be purely local.

STOMACH ON THE BRAIN. What if & Man Gain the Whole World, and Lose His Appetite? The man with a well-behaved stom- ach never thinks about it. He eats what he likes and likes what he eats. He knows he'll enjoy it, because knows he has a stomach that will eas- fly digest it. All things look good to him: he will sit close to the table, and with a merry twinkle in his eye and & world-peace expression, he will “start™ on_the delicious meal before him. But the man with the bad, br: ke gurgly stomach is the man who always thinking about it. He can sel- dom eat what he most likes, and sel- dom likes what he eats His stomach | worries him before meals, after meals and between meals. It is on his brain. It robs him of his cheer and Interferes with his daily work. Around him is a dark spirit which presses itself for- ward in his thoughts, crying: “I am agony, I am disgust, I am nausea. 1 am sicknesn, languor, worry. I am con- celved in quick lunches and pappy food. and nourished by gulpy meals. I rob brains of their force and bodies of their life. I steal away nerve and wim. I bring heart disease and apoplexy. I make the world a pit_of weariness and darkness. I am woe, I am death. I am dyspepsia. But yet, I bring also hope. light and future health, because by my gloomy presence I give you warning and a chance to escape me.” This is a bad dream, but it is the daily dream of the dyspeptie. If it were not for the white we couldn’t tell the black. If it were not for dyspep- sia, we couldn’t know the joy, the hap- piness of a well-ordered digestion. Al the world looks bright to a man of good health, and good health is impos- sible without a good. hardy stomach. And any sick or weak stomach can be made a good, strong one by just uxins something which will digest your foo for you, instead of letting your tired stomach do it. Stuart's Dyspepsta Tab- lets are the most effective little tablets in the world for this very thing. If you feel bloated after eating, oF you have nausea, aversion to food, brash, frritation, sour stomach, heartburn of dyspepsia, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets mnp stop it because one grain of am ingredient of these tablets will digest 3000 grains of f - Let it food. Your stomach is overworked. take a rest. You're not yourself when you have a bad stomach.

You should always have a box of Stuart’l Dyspepsia Tablets on your dining table. hey will make you get all the good possible out of everything yow eat, and you'll enjoy it.
