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.

B *"* th » N"* 1 Ha '" Wwais BossW 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.
