CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. A Pleasant Simple. But Safe Effectual Cure for it. < .’tarr.i of the stomach has long been comi.’ertd the r.-xt thing to incurable. she usual symptoms are a full or bloat ~ sensation after eating, accompanied >cm< tains with .-our or watery risings, a formation of gasses, causing pressure on th. heart and lungs and difficult breath i"g: headache, fickle appetite, nervous- Ueami a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste In the mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior of the s " -1 could be 5 seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. rhe cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which aus, s the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucouss surfaces of the* stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy diges tioa is the one* necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the ca tarrhal condition will have disappeared. X< cording to Dr. Harlanson the safest ar.d best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet composed of Diastaste, Asep t Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These .ablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and. not being a patent med ••ine. can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and through digestion will follow their regu lar use after meals. Mr. N. J. B<*oher. 2710 Dearborn street. Chicago, 111., writes: "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poi se:-,ous discharge therefrom, passing back ward into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me three years for catarrh of the stomach without cure, but today I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro priate words to express my good feeling. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious ness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloat ing after meals.

TO GfiOW CELERY- Macos Truckers Have Been Considering the Idea. The growing at' celery for the home market has long been under consideration by the truckers around Macon. And there Is money in it. The sort of swamp is said to be pecu liarly wall adapted to this purpose and experienced men say that it can be done as well tore as anywhere. At any rate the experiment is to be tried on a somewhat extensive scale tins year. It is estimated that three times as much celery would be consumed if it were rais ed here because express charges from Michigan, where the better variety is grown, amount to more than the cost of the celery. A reduction o* the cost would naturally increase the demand. Thu cost in New York just now is 50 and GO cents per dozen stalks, whereas in Macon the choice sell steadily for 10 cents each. Its nutritious value seems to eclipse the high prices asked and the sale of cel ery is. if anything, better than any other vegetable in the local market. It’s culture has been discussed in re pur:- of the state experimental station, I ,md it has always been the Idea that it | •uld be grown in Georgia. In Florida large quantities are grown which find sale 1 here, but it Is not as crisp and solid as the I northern grown celery. It requires an acute knowledge and con sidi rahl patience to carry on the culture successfully, and in view of the little : trouble necessary in raising the hardy , vegetables, the farmers seem never to ' have been able to see any profit in the ■ crop. The celery bed is easy to freeze, or be ‘ kill'd by too much heat or too little 1 moisture, and the fact that the farmers > have failed frequently in experiments, j s. ems to have placed a damper on further 1 attempts. The method Is to plant the seed in sum- I mer. This is done in covered beds, and I the soil is kept from exposure by sash, which are adjusted so the interior can be ! properly ventilated. During the day, heavy clothes, saturated with water, are placed over the glass and the bed kept at a moderate temperature. The plants are transplanted in the fall, but not until it is sufficiently cool to protect them from the sun's heat. The process is tedious, and requires the closest attention throughout, but If the farmers would take the trouble to study the culture closely and become interested in it, the cultivation of celery could be taken up in this section with much profit. There are a few farmers raising it now, ! which demonstrates that the only requi site is knowledge and effort. There is no j question about the possibility of success fully carrying on the ciiture, but it is not | thought the farmers will take hold ex-ten- | sively until some one starts making I money at it.
