No trouble Is moro common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People havlnir It., think that their nerves are to blaino ami at-c surprised thnt they are not cured by nerve medi cine and spring remedies; the real seut nf Hie mischief Is lust sight of; the stomach Is the organ to be looked af ter. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever In the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows Itself not In the stomach so much as Iu nearly every other organ: In some cases the heart palpitates and Is irregular; In others the kidneys are affected; In others the bowels are con stipated, with headaches; still others lire troubled With loss of llesb nnil nn. .petite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings anil Heartburn. Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. Gl Prospect St., Indianapolis, lnd., writes as fol lows: "A motive of pure gratitude pioiupts me to write these few lines legurdiu'g the new and valuable medi cine, .Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. I huve been ujuifferei- ft om, nervous dyspepsia for the last four yeurs; have used var ious patent medicines und other reme dies without any fuvorable result. They sometimes gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off. I attributed this to my sedentary habits, being u bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but 1 um glud to state that the tablets have overcunie all these ob stacles, for I have gained Iu tleuh, sleep better, and am better In every way.

Louis Storm, the boy whose right leg was crushed In an uccldent In the ele vator shaft ut Hotel Jerinyn, is still In the Lackuwanna hospital, and his condition is becopilijg more uncertain every duy. The foin of the fracture is peculiar, and the hospital physicians in tln;lr humane efforts to save the leg, fear Unit some dangerous compli cation may arise. Rluod poisoning Is the worst enemy, if this sets In only amputation will save young Storm's life. It may be that the patient will not be uble to stand amputation nt this time. He is becoming weaker every dayM Dr. McC.rath, of the hospital corp, stated last evening that the peculiar ity of the fracture lessens the cohesive power of the bones. Tlie log may be saved, but the chances are against this good fortune. Ciitiu-rh for Tu'outy Vunrti and Cured in a I'liiv Days.
