Got Strength, Vigor, Clear Complex ion and Good Digestion, Not by Patent Medicine, But in Nature's Own Way, Any honest physician will tell you that there Is but one way to get In creased flesh; all tho patent medicines and cod liver oils to the contrury not withstanding. Nature has but one way to Increase flesh, strength and vigor, mind nnd body, nnd that Is through tho stomach, by wholesome food, well digested. There Is no reason or common sense In other methods whatever. , People ore thin, run down, nervous, pale, and shaky In their nerves simply because their stomachs are weak. They may not think they havo dys pepsia, but the fact remains that they do not cat enough food, or what they eat Is not quickly and properly digest ed, as It should be. Dr. Harlandson says the reason Is because tho stomach lacks certain di gestive acids nnd peptones, nnd defic ient secretion of gastric Juice. Nature's remedy In such cases is to supply what the weak stomach lacks. There are several good preparations which will do this, hut none so readily ns Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which are designed especially for all stomach troubles, and which cure all digestive weakness on the common sense plan of furnishing the digestive principles which tho stomach lacks. Stunrfs Dyspepsia Tablets give per fect digestion. First effect Is to In crease the appetite and increased vigor, ndded flesh, pure blood and strength of nerve and muscle Is tho perfectly nat ural result. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest tonic known and will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.

Charles, or treas urer, Mr. C. D. Finn. JERMYN AND HAYFIELD. The Hchool board held a special ses sion Monday evening to decide wheth er or not they would have a term of night school.

The school board will have the satisfaction of having done tliolr duty In the matter. Wheth er or not tho school will be kept open depends entirely on the parents nnd scholars. Prof. Rogers and Miss Anna Mulchrone were hired as teachers and this Is a guarantee that there will b a good school. The salaries were fixed at $22.50 for the principal and $15.00 for the assistant.

From tha Medical Nevs. Cattle don't thrive In the Philippines "heep arc not found there. Potatoes don't grow in tho Archipelago. Veg tablcs arc everywhere scarce, so It seems, and the peas and asparagus one gets come mostly from Franco or Germany. In peaceful times, gone by, to be sure, tho industrious Chinaman In his little garden raised delicacies for the tables of foreigners, but now that most of these almond-eyed Celes tials have retired with their dollars to China, tomatoes, lettuce, beans and corn are probably scarcer. Chickens and eggs are two great Philippine standbys, nnd always seem to form a groundwork for every meal. Beef from poor worn out bullocks, shipped up from Australia, likewise has Its usual bright place to fill, but mutton and potatoes have to come over from China. Fruits, Manila has Its plenty, and what with mangoes, mangosteens, oranges, bananas, pineapples, grape fruits and melons selling for a song, the market Is well supplied. All meats In Manila and other parts of the Islands Is olten eaten fresh-killed, since Ice falls to preserve fish, flesh or fowl, and game and fowl are always sold at the markets alive. It Is not to be denied that the tough, stringy taste to this porlon of tho menu is far from desirable, but neces sity seems to know no law, and one must accustom himself almost to see ing the chickens of his four'h course wandering around In the kitchen half plucked ns he begins his feast. Living was very cheap In Manila during my stay, and our cook got but 40 cents with which to provide dinner for four people. And wo would have such dishes as soup, fish, chops and pens, roast chicken with potatoes, beans nnd corn, salad, dessert and tr:'t quite a rep&st for so small a sum. Tho milk available In the Philippines rarely comes from the Jersey cow, but Is a product ot the "carabao," or water buffalo, and tastes somewhat oily. Oatmeal and cream aro things un known, and the former Is now said to be too heating for a hot climate diet. Chocolate seems to come under the same category, and even mangoes tho fruit with tho smooth, turpentine tasto have to be eschewed by him who suf fers from prickly heat. Bread, too, is not eaten so much us toast, and the foreigner almost always Insists on get ting his "pan tostada" In order that any lurking microbes which the bread may havo absorbed during the process of manufacture In the lltllo Chinese bakery may be destroyed. As the Manila water supply was good 1 had no hesitation In drinking plenty of Adam's nlc, and never found It dis agreed with me. In fact, somo of the old stagers sny a long glass of water Just after one gets up In the morning doeth gotd ilku a medicine, and suf fice It to gay It seemed to work like a charm In my case. In conclusion, as to food, It must be said that, In peaceful times. Manila fare Is not bad, though It Ibcks variety, and such nrtlcles as ono gets In the ordinary menu at the club or In the restaurants seem amply to supply tho demands made on tho new nrrlval by tho climate. Heavy or heating foods, such as oatmeal, and the like uro best left nlone, Hnd In my mind, tho less alcohol one takes tho better. Claret and seltzer make one of the cleanest drinks to be Imagined, and on better than a brandy and soda, or something of the same strong make-up. Awkward. "Dey menus well," eald the newly en listed colored soldier. "I lians't no com plaint ter mnke 'bout delr Intentions.'1 "AVho Is ycr troublln' 'bout?" "Do brass band leaders.

"What Makes Mfama So Cross, tf A Child's Question Answered by a Famous Specialist. The mother hnd one of her "nervous spells" and tho little boy had been warned to be very quiet. Tho restless little fellow moved on tiptoe about tho room trying to nmuso himself, but nl most every movo he made was fol lowed by tho querulous cry of tho mother, "Willie, don't make so much noise." At last In his over anxiety to ho quiet, the boy dropped n book on tho iloor, and his mother's nngry scream of protest drove him to the shelter of his father's arms. The fath er laid down his paper, and caressed the tearful boy who whispered between his sobs: "Papa, what makes mamma so cross?" Papa made no nnswer. He "WHAT MAKES M did not know how to answer. He could only wonder that In a few years the gay and sprightly girl he had married had lost all her spirits, had faded In face and fallen off in form, and had developed an impatience of temper and an Irritability of disposition which was generally ascribed to "nerves." But there was something else that papa did not know. He did not know that every such nervous outhreak caused his wife Intense mental suffer ing because of her own weakness. He did not know that even now behind closed fingers that hid her face tho mother was weeping because of her own passionate impatience with the child she loved. "AVhat makes mamma so cross?" It is a pitiful question. In It the little child puts his finger right on tho most salient feature In the failure of mar riage. It Is not tho case of one wo man hut the case of thousands. Tho result Is a home unattractive to tho husband, and the children's love for the mother adulterated with fear. The husband, tired of tears and scolding, drifts to the village stor- or the city club to spend his evenings. Tho poor wife sits and looks up nt the motto, which she hung on the wall with a wifely pride In her heart and a woman ly prayer on her lips "God bless our home." She feels that tho homo Is cursed Instead of blessed. Poor woman! She Is not to blame for her nervousness and her tears. It Is tho natural and necessary result of her condition. The finest musician In the world could get nothing but discord out of a harp whoso every string was strained to breaking. That's the way It Is with the woman. She Is literally "all unstrung." Her nervous system Is shattered. All the harmony of the sweet girl nature Is turned to discord. It Is a condition peculiar to her sex and common to wifehood. Perhnps this condition began long ago In girl hood with Irregularity In one of tho Important femnlo functions followed maybe with a disagreeable and deblll tatlng drain on the system. Perhaps It Is tho Immediate consequence of the great changes which take place with marriage. Behind such a nervous con dition will bo found Inflammation burning like a fire into the tender tis sues, ulceration eating like poison Into the organs of generation. There will be Irregular periods, and the bearlng down pains, associated with prolapsus, a disagreeable, unnatural and deblll tatlng pain, sapping the life and strength of the system. Some or nil theso are behind that nervous condi tion so painful for the mother, so piti ful for tho family. AVe know that this Is so because tho treatment of thous ands of women similarly afflicted has proven It to be so. AA'e know Just ns surely that this condition Is curable,, berauso In all tho thousands of cases treated, only two out of every hun dred have failed of complete and per fect cure; and even these two have generally been benefited. This Is not a matter of mere statement. It Is a matter of evidence. A half a million of women could be put Into the wit ness box to testify that they have been cured of Irregularities, ulcerations, In flammations, and disagreeable drains on the system, by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Tho larger part of this vast nrmy of wo men nre In evidence over their own signatures reporting their former suf ferings and their permanent cure by the "Favorite Prescription." AA'e can only offer here a few such letters, Mrs. Cordelia Henson, of Colton, Boyd Co., Ky writes: "In October, 18S9, I gavo birth to a baby and tho .treatment 1 received at the hands of tho midwife left me with falling of the uterus. I had no heulth to speak of for three years. I had another baby which was the third child. My health began to fall and I had three mis carrluges so I found myself completely worn out. I had so muny pains and aches my life was a burden to mo nnd also to all the family, for I was ner vous nnd cross und could not sleep. Just ufter my last miscarriage (In 1896) I was taken with a severe pain In left side. Had four doctors cdmo to boo mo but at last I found I was slowly dying. The doctors said I had liver, lung and uterine trouble. I wns In bed for months und when I did get up .V, -sgg 4jij iiJl!LL,: I wan a sight to behold. I looked like a corpse walking about. I commenced to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, 'Favorlto Prescription' nnd 'Pclletr,' and I was soon a well wo man. I havo suffered nil a woman could Buffer at my monthly period un til slnco I began the use ot Dr. Plerco's medicines, but now I enn say I havo no pain. The dark circles nround my eyes are going away nnd I feel better In every way. My cheeks aro red and my face Is white, but before It was as yellow as saffron." "Your medicines have done wonders for me," writes Mrs. James AA'. Black er, of (129 Catherlno Btrcot, Syracuse, N. Y, "For yenrs my health wns very poor; I hnd four mlscnrrlnges, but since taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery and 'Favorlto Prescrip tion' have much better health, and now I have a flno healthy baby." Hundreds of grateful mothers wrlto to give thanks for relief from suffer ing usually experienced In confinement. Mrs. Carrie B. Donner, of Dayton, Green Co., AVIs., Is only ono of the AM A CROSS." many grateful mothers that thus tes tify to the efficacy of Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription. She says: "I can highly recommend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and also his "Fa vorite Prescription' having taken the latter for nine months previous to con finement, I suffered scarcely any com pnred with what I hnd at other times." Many grateful letters come from hus bands who are made glad by the wife's new health nnd happiness. "For five years my wife was In an almost helpless condition, suffering from fe male weakness," writes J. S. Everltt, esq., of Hagerman, AA'ashlngton Co., Fla. "Last September I decided to have her try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription. Sho took several bottles of tho medicine and gave birth to a ten pound son on Jan. 31, 1898. She Is now sound and well and doing her house work." "My wife was sick for over eight years." writes Albert II. Fulto, Esq., of Altamount, Grundy Co., Tenn. "She had uterine disease and was treated by two physicians and got no relief. At last, I read in one of your Memor andum Books, which you sent me, about Dr. Pierce's medicines and wo decided to try his 'Favorite Prescrip tion I sent to the drug store and got ono bottle and tho first dose gavo ease and sleep. She had not slept any for three nights. Being sure that It would cure her I sent for five more bottles and when she had taken the sixth bot tle she was sound and well. AVo now have a fine boy at our house." Inflammation Is promptly allayed, ul certlons healed, and tho nerve centers strengthened by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It stops unnatural and disagreeable drains on the system, reg ulates the periods, and In fact ad Justs tho organs peculiarly feminine to harmonious operations in all their functions. The real pleasure In life then returns. The form rounds out, the eye brightens, the dragging step of disease gives place to the springing step of health. A smllo, instead of a tear, goes Into every stitch going into the tiny garments being made ready for tho coming guest a guest who will receive a glad welcome from a heart rich In maternal love, and a body strong In maternal power, to cherish and nourish its Infant life. All this transformation can be wrought In your own house, If you aro a sufferer, without expensive con sultations, without Indelicate ques tioning or disagreeable examinations, and offensive local treatments.
