Pure blood, strong nerves and muscles,, firm, healthy flesh can only come from wnnlesome food well digested “Blood puri fiers” and “nerve tonic” do not reach the cause of the mischief. The stomarch is the point to be looked after. The safest and surest way to cure any form of indigestion is to take after each maal some harmless preparation of this kind composed of vegetable es sences pure pepsin, golden seal and fruit salts, sold by druggists under name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and these tablets taken after meals assist digestion wonderfully because they will digest the food promptly before it has time to ferment and sour, and the weak stoma h relieved and assisted in this way soon becomes strong and vigorous again. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are superior to any secret patent medicines because you know what you are taking into your stomach. They are sold by druggists everywhere at 50c per package. Write F. A.

Os the men who have occupied positions o. public trust in Kansas City, either by gift of the people or by appointment ; none has a more enviable reputation for ability, honesty and efficiency than James Burns, Collector of the Port of Kansas City under Grover Cleveland. He lived the letter the maxim, “public office is a public trust,” and when he retired he carried with him the respect of everyone in the community —democrats and republi cans alike 1 James Burns has used Stuart’s Dpspepsia Tablets and he does not hesitate to say they have accomplished wonders. “I suffered with dyspepsia for twenty years, ’ said Mr. Burns yesterday. “Never knew what it was to enjoy life —in fact living seemed a burden, as it does to all who suffer severely with dys pepsia. A few months ago 1 began taking Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. From the first I felt lelief, and now, allhough 1 am still taking them, I feel entirely cured. For the first time in twenty years I can eat anything 1 want and suffer no ill effects from it. You can’t imagine the pleasure of this unless you have been a dyspepsia sufferer. “I never gave a testimonial for any medicine before, but 1 feel as if everybody ought to know of this remedy, ami while it is personally distasteful to me to appear in print in this connection, I feel as if I had no right to shirk the opportunity tc, perhaps help some other sufferers from dyspepsia 1 have been recommend ing the Tablets to all my friends. Only recently 1 took James H. Lillis, the father of Father Lillis, down to get some, and 1 under stand he also is being wonderfully benelitted. 1 can’t recommend it too highly.” RALLY AROUND THE FLAG BOYS’ s Uncle Sam’s call to arms that has aroused the patriotism of the Nation.
