CATARRH OF TUB STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Ef

Catarrh ot tho stomach has long
been considered tho next thing to In

or watery risings, a formation ot
gases, causing piessura on the henrt

headaches, fickle nppetlto, nervous,
ncss and u genet at played out, lan
guid feeling.
There Is often a foul taste In tho
mouth, coated tongtio and If the In
terior of the stomneh could be seen
It would show n slimy, Inflamed con
dition. Tho cure for this common and ob
stinate tumble Is found In n treat
ment which causes tho food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before It
has tlmo to ferment and Irritate tho
dellcato mucous surfaces of the stom
neh. To sifcuro a prompt nnd healthy
digestion Is the one necessary thing
to do and when nonnal digestion is
seemed the catarrhal condition will
have dlsappeaied.
Accoidlng to Dr. Hailanson, tho
safest and best treatment Is to use,
after each meal, a tablet, composed ot
Diastase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
uteres under the name of Stuart's Dys

medicine can be used w Ith perfect
safety and nssuranco that healthy ap

resulting from a neglected cold In the

who had won distinction In national
nffalrs. Ho had prone with Oarlleld to
the Chicago convention as an Inti
mate personal friend, and they who
assumed to know the Inside history
of those days believed that Corbln was
nctlvo In thy councils of those who
conspired from the beginning to make
Garfield the nominee of that conven
tion, for Coibln was u politician by
Instinct, and he Is us much a politician
today ns he was twenty years ago.
What would have been his fortune It
Gnilleld had not been lold low by the
nssjssln's bullet it Is idle to guess. It
could hardly have been more glitter
Intt than that which has come to him
now after a tcore of years under an
other Ohio president, through his na
tive genius ns an udmlnlstrntor nnd
his political Intuition. He advanced
steadily In his profession till Just nt
the oulbienk of the war with Spain,
only ten davj after the Mowing up of
th Maine, ho urrlvod tluiiugh the ro
th.Miient ot General lltiggles at the
highest mllltnrv position to which he
could asplie that of adjutant general
of the United Stales army. Foitune
had followed him and clung to him.
He oiuld baldly have escaped It If he
would. Opportunities showered them
selves upon him, nnd h caught them
all.
What Coibln did dining the trying,
hull led inonthn of the war with Spain
was ,i maivel to tlvve who knuvv the
conditions with which he had to grap
ple nnd the obstacles h- lnd to over
come. Day after day and week after
week, almost hour by hour and minute
by injnute, he was under a strain
which few men would have had the
physical or mental strength to enditte.
He had th confidence of tho piesldent.
He was relied upon by the secietary
of war. Ho can led the multitudinous
and Infinitesimal details of mustering
n great army and putting It at vvoik.
For three solid monthf days, nishta
und Sundays he wan at his desk, nnd
through it all he wai buoyant, con
siderate, tactful, apparently never
hurried and nover at a loss.
A COMPEOMISE VEEDICT.
It Bade Fair to Bo Quite Seveie on
the Accused Person.
1 rom tho New Orlcins Times Democrat
"The queeiest verdict I over he.ud,"
said a lawyer fiom Denver, who was
one of a stoiy-telllng group In the
Grunevv.ild lobby, "was rendered at a
boom mining town In Southern Colo
lado, back In '88. The judiciary ot the
district had just been organized, and
one of the first cases called In court
was that of a fellow who was accused
of jobbing some sluice boxes. The evi
dence had seemed conclusive nt the
time of his an est, but It developed
later on that the whole thing was the
put-up Job of a personal enemy, and
the night before the tilnl the chief
w Itness got senred nnd skipped out.
Tho weakness of the case was un
known to the district nttornev, hovv
ovei, and ho pioceeded to Impanel a
Jury, which wns composed entirely of
tough and llllteinte miners, none of
whom hnd ever served In that capac
ity before. After hearing ono or two
.minor witnesses, the attorney saw how
the land lay and abandoned tho prose
cution, but as a mere formality tho
Judge told tho Jury to retlie to their
loom nnd render a verdict. He sup
posed, ot course, that they would be
gone only long enough to i educe It to
wilting, and when nn hour elapsed
without henilng from thorn ho sent a
bailiff to Investigate "They want to
know what the extreme penalty Is for
grand larceny,' teported tho bailiff,
nfter a conference nt tho door. 'Tell
them twenty years,' said the judge,
unable to understand what they meant
by such a question. Presently the
panel Hied In and announced they had
anlved at a verdict 'We find tho
prisoner guilty.' s-nld a big, raw-boned
prospectoi, who was acting im foio
man, 'Clullty" exclaimed the judge, In
amazement: 'why, there's nothing at
all against him" 'Nary a thing,'
leplled the foi email, calmly. 'Then
what do jou mean by such an out
rageous verdict?' demanded tho Judge.
'Well, yer honor, we couldn't do nothln'
else,' said the foreman, 'You told us
straight out to find this here verdict
uccordln' to the law and the evidence,
and the law 'pears to be all tight, hut
there ain't no ovldence whatsoever.
So wo jest kind of decided to bring
him In guilty und nsk yer honor to
split tho difference and let him off on
ten yenrs ' When the Judge recovered
his speech he dismissed the case on
his own motion. That's a truo Htory,
gentlemen I happened to be counsel
for the prisoner myself."
