Do you know what an
"emulsion is?" It is when
each drop of the oil is broken
up into minute drops, so small
you can hardly sec them with
the microscope : so minute
that they pass at once through
the tissues into the circula
tion. Scott's Emulsion does
not disturb digestion, is not
unpleasant to take, and does
not fail to do its work be
cause digestion can deal with
it at once. You may be able
to disguise the taste of raw
oil and get it past the palate.
You can't cheat your stomach

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To (lain Fleh. to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and OooJ Digestion
Mean, JHakea Tctt of Stunrt'i
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or moro
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
aro to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medi
cine and spring ) cmc dies; tho real seat
of tho mlshlpf is lost sight of; the
stomach Is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not havo
any pain whatever In the stomnch, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows Itself not In tho stomach so
much as in iir-M-ly every other organ:
in some circs the heart palpitates and
Is irregular; In others tho kidneys are
affected; In others the bowels are con
stipated, with headache; still others
are troubled with loss of llesh and ap
petite, with accumulation of gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
Air. A. AV. Sharper, of No. 61 Pros
pect St., Indianapolis, Ind.; writes ns
follows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few Hne3
regarding the new and valuable medi
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I
have been n suflerer from nervous dys
pepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and oth
er remedies without any favorable re
sult. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects of the medicine
wore off. I attributed this to my sed
entary habits, being a bookkeeper with
little physical exercise, but I am glad
to state that the tablets have overcome
all these obstacles, for I have gained
in flesh, sleep better, nnd am better in
every way. Tho above is written not
for notoriety, but Is based on actual
fact." Itespcctfully yours,
A. AV. Sharper,
CI Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind.
It Is safe to say that Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach
weakness or disease except cancer of
stomnch. They cure sour stomach, gas,
loss of rlesh and appetite, sleeplessness,
palpitation, heartburn, constipation
and headache.

stomach disease by addressing Stuart

paying a red cent of dOg tax. AVo be
lieve that In boroughs the dog tax goes
toward a school library, and if each
one of these doubtfully ornamental
cnnlnes w.-us asressed we might have a
library that would be a credit to a
city. As It Is we collect about $100 tax
with a dog population of a little less
than a thousand. Tho assessors should
do as our friend, Dennis Casey, of
Susquehanna, used to do. He carried
a 4S-calibre revolver In his hip pocket
and whenever he found a dog that np
one would own for fear of having to
pay a tax he expeditiously ended its
earthly career. The plan was a good
one and we commend it to assessors
In general. In conclusion the senti
ment of non-dog owners is;
I love my neighbor as I should;
I'd lovo him better If he would
Havo sense enough to sell or shoot
His useless, good-for-nothing brute.
