A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effectual Cure for It. Catarrh of the stomach 1ms long been considered the next thing to In curable. The usual sjmptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with eour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; head aches, fickle appetite. neiousness and a general plajed out. languid feeling. There Is often a foul taste In the mouth, coated tongue and if the Inter ior of the stomach could be eeen It would show a slimy, inflamed condi tion. The cure of this common and obsti nate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested befoie It has time to ferment and irrltato the delicate mucous sui faces of tho stomach. To secure a piompt and healthy diges tion is tho one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion Is secuied the catarrhal condition will hate dlsap peaied. According to Dr. Hnrlanson the saf est and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Dlat ase. Asentlc Pensln. a little N'iiy. nnlrf. en Heal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drue stores un der tho name of Stuait's Dyspepsia Tablets ana not being a patent medi cine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their legular ube after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago. 111., writes: "Catarrh in a local condition resulting from a neglected cold In the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose be comes inflamed and the poisonous dis charge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus producing cntanh of tho stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for threo years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but today I am the hap piest of men after using only one box of Btuart'fl Dyspepsia Tablets. I can not find appropriate words to express my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet Is the saf est preparation as well as tho simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, eour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals. Send for little book mailed free, on stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart Co, Marehall, Jllch. Tho tablets can be found'at all drug stores. The palate is almost tickled with Scott's Emul sion of Cod-liver oil. The stomach knows nothing about it, it docs not trouble you there. You feel it first in the strength it brings ; it shows in the color of cheek and smoothing out of wrinkles. It was a beautiful thing to do, to cover the odious taste of Cod-liver oil, evade the tax on the stomach, and take health by surprise. It warms, soothes, strength ens and invigorates. oc. and 1 1 oo, nil dnirnitt. SCOTT & BOWNE, Uiemliu, htw York.

They hold that the bridge Issue of $230,000, which was a popular loan, is not to be included when consldcilug the Indebtedness of the city as contemplated by the law, in which the 2 per cent, limit Is fixed. Accoidlng to the commissioner' con tention, councils hae still a leeway of about $30,000, before tho 2 per cent, limit would be reached. PIMPLES CURED BY GUTIGURA SOAP Before using Coticctu.
