A good many people" will be
surprised perhaps at Hie state
ment of the number of negro
soldiers jn the civil war. Speak
ing of soldiers for Cuba, an old
army officer reminds us that
there were 166 regiments
of colored soldiers during the
war of the rebellion. There ought
to be no trouble in getting sol
diers for Cuba By the way, 20,-
000 of those colored soldiers of
thirty live years ago died in the

98 per' cent, could be S-A-w
saved. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covers’ is an almost unfailing cure if
taken in the earlier stages of the disease.
It will cure consumption and all allied dis
eases, as bronchial, throat and nasal affec
tions. It cures by going to first principles.
A man’s body starves a long time before
consumption attacks him. The tissues of
his lungs starve for lack of sufficient nour
ishment. They become inert and half
dead and then ate attacked by the baccilli
of consumption. The “Golden Medical
Discovery ’’ restores the long lost appetite;
it strengthens the weak stomach and cor
rects the impaired digestion; it promotes
the flow of digestive Juices and facilitates
the assimilation of the life giving elements
of the food into the blood. When the
blood is pure and rich, old inert tissues are
torn dowm, carried off and excreted, and
new, healthy, muscular tissues replace
them. It allays inflammation of the mu
cous membranes, soothes the cough, fa
cilitates expectoration, and deepens the
breathing, supplying the system with a
much needed stock of oxygen. It drives
out all impurities and disease germs.

DANGER IN SODA.
Saßiqus Results Sometimes
Fo low Its Excesslve Use
Conmon soda is all right in
its plice and indispensable in
the llitchen for cooking and
washing purposes, but it was
never intended for a medicine,
and people who use it as such
will s»me day regret it.
We refer to the common use
of sod* to relieve heartburn or
sour stomach, a habit which
thousands of people practice al
most daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover
the soda only gives temporary
relief *nd in the end the stom
ach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical
irritant to the walls of the stom
ach an J bowels and cases are
on record wheie it accumulated
in the intestines, causing death
by iufiamation or peritontis.
Dr. Harlandson recommends
as the safest and eurast cure for
sour stomach (acid dyspepsia)
an excellant preparation sold by
druggists under the name of
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
These tablets are large 20 grain
lozengers, very pleasant to taste
and contain the natural acids,
peptones and digestive elements
essential to good digestion, and
when taken after meals they di
gest the food perfectly and
promptly before it has had time
to ferment, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
Dr. Wuerth states that he in
variably uses Stuart’s Dyspep
sia Tablets in all cases of stom
ach trouble, but by promtly di
gesting the fool they create a
healthy app tite, increase flesh
and strengthen the action of the
heart and liver. They are not a
cathartic, but intended only for
stomach diseases and weakness
and will be found reliable in
any stomach trouble except cain
cer of the stomach,
All druggists sell Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets at 50c per
package.
