Dyspepila Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
Gentleman,
No trouble is more common or more mis
understood ttian nervous dyspepsia. l'coplc
having it think that tlicir nerves nrc to blame,
arc surprised that lliey nre not cured by nerve
medicines and spring remedies ; the real sent
of mischief is lost sight of i the stomach is the
origin to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
paia whatever In the stomach, nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach weak
ness. Nervous dj spcjisia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly every other
organ j in some cases the heart palpitates ir
regular ; In others, the kidnes are affected ;
in others the bowels nrc constipated, with head-
arhes : still others nic troubled with loss of
flesh and appetite, with tiie accumulation of gas,
sour risings and heartburn,
Mr. A. W. Sharper, of No. Ot 1'rospectSt.,
Indianapolis, Ind., writes as follows: "A
motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write
these few lines regarding the new and valuable
h medicine, Ktuatt's Ilysjiepsia Tablets. 1 have
been a sufleier from nervous dyspepsia for the
last four years ; have used various patent med
icines and other remedies without any favor
able result. They sometimes gave tempor
ary relief until the effects of the medicine wore
off, I attributed this to my sedentary habits,
being a bookkecier with little physical exer
cise, but I am glad to slate that the tablets
have overcome ail these obstacles, for I have
gained in flesh, sleep belter, and am better in
every way. The above is written not for tm-
tority, but is based on actual facts."
Respectfully yours,
A. V. Sharper,

It is safe to say that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets will cure nny stomach weakness or dis
ease except cancer of the stomach. They
cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and appe
lite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heartburn, con
stipation and headaches.

Years ago a llttlo periodical wns pub
lished in England entitled "Captain Hook
In London; or, tho Chieftain's Weokly
Gazutto." Naturally it was full of Irish
ideas, and so not entirely agrcoublo to tho
existing government.
Ono morning, whllo It wns In full swing,
two gintlomon met accidentally in Lon
don's Given park. Ono of them was tho
editor of tho seditious papor and tho othor
an Englishman who seemed to bo greatly
interested In public atlalra. They drifted
into talk on Ireland, and nt Its conclusion
tho stranger presonted his gold snuffbox
to tho editor,
f Ah. "Tnko this, mv frIond."ald hn. "as n
llttlo memorial of tho most useful and In
structive conversation I havo over had on
Irish affairs. You will not vnluo It tho

Irishman, "permit 1110 In tondorlng my
grateful thanks to nanio myself, for I fear
your royal highness has heiird ot me bo
foro."
"Dy all means," said tho prlnco, n good
ileal amused nt tno assurance 01 tho in
trepid Irishman. "Toll 1110 who you nro."
"May It plenso your royal highness, I
nm Captain Hook."
And In thoso days tho captain's nanio
wns equivalent to that ot a dynamiter.
Needless to eny that tho now acquaint'
uncos pnvted with no talk of a future
mooting.

A wholcsomo suspicion Is one or our
characteristics as a pcoplo. In matters
worthy of investigation wo want real taujl
bio facts regarding it. The word of those we

generally what wo most desire. When wo
call on a neighbor, a man of business at that,
and say, "You havo somo exporlonco with
so-and-so. What do you think of it? "And
ho answers "Just the thing, I know because I
havo tried It." It goes a long way In help
ing our decision. This is always the case
with Doan's Kidney Pills. Everybody who
has used them for any kind of kidney com

Why? Bdbuso thoy do the work ovory timo

Mr. E. J. Davis, of 15 North Jardln stroot,

Naturally bravo and often reckless In
tho fnco of danger, lllsinnrck shunned
nothing when n llfo wns to bo saved. As
n young nontenant ho risked his own llfo
to save that of his drowning servant. Ho
received the modal "for saving of huinnn

ceremonious occasions until ho withdrew
from jiubllo lifo. Onco somo high person

noticed tho Inslgnlllcnnt llttlo medal on

Whllo Austria remained tho head ot the

mnrck nttondod tho fedornl council at
Frankfort ns tho representative of Prussia
ho had many dealings nnd as many scml
hostllo oncountcrs with tho Austrian pres
ident of tho council, Count Thun, whom
ho viewed with unlimited disgust. Onco
ho called on Thun, who received him In
his shirt sleeves. Hlsmnrck proceeded to
pull off his own cont without a moment's
hesitation, saying, "Indeed, count, It Is
very hot in your room I"
Tho count jumped from his chair ond
hastened to put on his cont, at tlio samo
timo pouring out apologies. On tho occa
sion of nnotlior visit Thun was seated at
his writing desk smoking and with an
open box ot cigars In front of htm. Ho
nsked Blsmorck to wait for n few mo

Bismarck, who was an enthuslastlo dovo
tco of tho wcod, suffered In sllonco for n
fow moments and then walkod up to tho
desk nnd deliberately picked out a cigar
under tho noso of tho startled count, aud
onco moro that gontlcmun had to apolo

Bismarck's fondness for tobacco lasted
till his death tn splto of all protests from
his physician. All tho faithful Dr. Schwon
Ingor could do was to havo tho strong cl
gnrs of earlier years supplanted by long
stemmed, woll cloaned pipes. On tho day
beforo his death Bismarck smoked five of
thoso.
"Holies llko an official nows bureau,"
exclaimed Bismarck onco In tho Prussian
diet
Bismarck was always disliked by tho
diplomatists of tho old school, whoso tricks
and conceits ho despised. Ho confoundod
their clover plans timo and again by un
nlmost overbearing uso of the truth. In
tho spring of 1800, when tho war against
Austria wns nothing but a possibility,
Bismarck, who was tnon president of tho
Prussian cabinet, attended a dinner glvon
by tho minister of Saxony. Tho Countess
nohenthnl, who snt by his side, was in
consldorato enough to ask, "Is It truo that
your oxcellency lntonds to go to war with
Austria?"
"Certainly, my dear countess," replied
Bismarck in Ills blandest manner. "I
hnvo thought of nothing elso slnco I en
tered tho cablnot. Our guns aro ready,
nnd you will soon find that thoy aro su
perior to tho Austrlnn artillery."
"But, then, you must glvo mo somo
frlondly ndvlco," said tho countoss. "I
havo two castlos, ono In Bohomia and one
near Loipsic Which ono will bo tho safest
to go tof"
"If you tnko my ndvlco," nnswered BJs
marck, "you will not go to Bohemia.
Vour castlo Is locotod In tho very vicinity
whero wo Intend to boat tho Austrlans.
Go to Saxony, and you will bo perfectly
safo."
Tho countoss mado horlndiscrotloncom-
ploto by telling ovory ono of this romark
oblo conversation. Tho world was startlod,
and demands for an explanation came
from all quarters.
"Poohl" smiled WsninrcK, with a shrug
of his shoulders. " Do you pay attention
to an Ironical answer prompted by an In-

Wom'B Telegraph bureau was honored
with nismurck's attention on account of

summoned ono of tho government omcers,
who promptly asserted that ho did not
know a thing about tho whole matter.
'You had bottormako a thorough in
vestigation nnd glvo mo a detailed report,"
said Bismarck. "But thero Is no special
hurry. If I havo tho roport by tomorrow
at noon, that will bo timo enough."
uood living was ono of lJismarcK-swoaK

said sometimes that tho chof do culslno

Two hearts can make a love affair, but It
takes three, at least, to make a home, and
one of them must be that of a baby. The
young married couples that start out In life
with the idea that children arc nuisances,
and that they do not want and will not
have them, are the kind that you read
about every day in the newspapers in the
divorce column. A home without children
is not a home. Cod and Nature never in
tended that there should be a place called
home that did not resound with the patter
of childish footsteps.
There are tens of thousands of homes
that arc childless because of the ill-health
of the wife and would-be mother. There
are tens of thousands of other homes child
less because the little ones have died al
most as soon as they were born. In both
cases Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
a sovereign remedy, It acts directly on
the delicate and important organs that
make wifehood and motherhood possible.
It makes them well, strong, vigorous, virile,
and elastic. It does away with the dangers
of maternity,
It banishes the usual dis-
comforts of the expectant
Ticrtou ana
makes baby's advent easy and almost pain
less. It Insures the little t comer's
health and an ample supply of nourish
ment. The prospective mother prepares
herself for maternity by taking- tbe Fa
vorite Prescription " and gives her child a
fair start In life by giving it a strong and
well developed body. Thousands of homes
that were childless, to-day echo with
babies' laughter, and bless this great medi
cine. Thousands of women who were
weak, nervous, despondent invalids, are
to-day happy, healthy wives and mothers
because of tuts medicine. Medicine deal
