SOVEREIGNTY ENDANGERED.
Comment on Anglo-German .Interven
tion In Venezuela.
Now York, Dtx-. 13— Referring to
th,- Anglo-German intervention In Ven
ezuela. the Buenos Ayres correspo
ndent of The Herald says all the news-
pajers there see In It a danger for all
South American republics, as It tends
to establish a precedent endangering
their sovereignty. The general opin
ion Is that the Investment of foreign
capital, though desirable for the devel
opment of the countries, cannot give
foreigners special rights. Some pa
pers compare actual Intervention with
recent events In China.
The Prenza says:
"The Anglo-German military action
has violated the rights and disregards
the sovereignty of South American re
publics. ”
It ad-ds that the German claim* as a
public debt are without precedent in
the history of South America.
The Prenza attributes the whole af
fair to European imperialists, who are
Inspired with hostile intentions against
the Increasing Influence of the United
States, and urges South American
diplomats fo watch developments.
The government organ at Rio Ja
neiro declares, according to a Herald
dispatch, that Anglo-German action
tends to modify the relations between
Europe and America and that the firm
and noble attitude of President Castro
cannot but be admired by all true
Americans.
In Panama, says The Herald corre-
spondent, the forcible seizure and use
less sinking of the Venezuelan gun
boats lias caused great excitement and
indignation, and has made an unpleas
ant Impression upon Colombians in
general and isthmians in particular,
who are opposed to the coercive meth
ods of European governments.

der a Reduction.
Tallahassee, Fla.. Dec.. 13.—Tho
Florida railroad commission has serv
ed notice on the Seaboard Air Id no,
Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville and
Nashville and Georgia Southern and

SOUR STOMACH, ACID DYS
PEPSIA.
Now Recognized as the Cause of Serious DU*
esses.
Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called
heart hum or Boar stomach, is a form of
indigestion resulting from ferm°n'a-ion
of the food. Tho stomach being too
weak to promptly digest it, the food re
mains nntil fermentation begins, lining
the stomach with gas, and a hitter, Rnnr,
burning taste in the month is often
present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an everyday occur
rence is given bnt little attention. Be
cause Dyspepsia is not immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for tho
tronble.
It is now well known among able
physicians that the whole constitution
is gradually undermined and weakened,
that the nerves and vital organs are
serionsly affected by any form of dys
pepsia. This is plain, as every orgau,
every nerve in the body is nourished by
the blood and the blood is replenished
by the blood and tho blood is replenished
from the food digested. If the food is
properly digested tho blood is pare, the
nerves steady, bnt if supplied from a
soar, fermenting, decaying in iss the
blood is vitiated, poisoned and the re
sult is shown in sleeplessness, lack of
energy, poor appetite, nervousness.
Every trifle is maguitied and the dys-
peptio sees nothing bnt the dark side of
everything.
Within a recent, period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to enro
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is
known as Stourt's Dyspepsia Tablets
and it is now becoming rapidly used
and prescribed as a radical cure for
every form of dyspepsia.
It is not claimed to care anj ill ng si-
oept dyspepsia and stomach weakness
in its various forms, bat for this it has
been shown to bo untquail* d. The i m-
inont specialists, Heed and O'Leary,
have recently stated that they consid
ered Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets an un
failing specific for disorders of the di
gestive organs, and the remarkable
cares made in cases of long standing
dyspepsia proves that this remedy lias
extraordinary merit
Stnart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have b on
placed before the public and are sold t>y
druggists every whoae at 50 cents per
package, end while it promptly and ef
fectually restore” a vigorous digestion,
at the same time is p erfectly harmless
and will not injure the most delicate
stomach, bnt on the contrary by giving
perfect digestion, strengthens the stem-
ach, improves the appetite and m tkea
life worth living.
