Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered te next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloat ing sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings', a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breath ing, headaches, fickle appetite, nervous ness and a general played out, languid feeling. " . There is often a foul taste in the moutb, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and ob stinate trouble is found in a treatment which cauees the food to be readily, or thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate surface of the stomach. To secdre a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrahal con dition will have disappeared. ' According to Dr. Harlaneon the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet composed oi Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nnx, Gclden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthly appetite and thorough di gestion will follow their regular use alter meals. Mr. N. I.'.Booher, of 2710 Dearborn St., Uhicago, ill., writes: "(Jattarb is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the bead, whereby the' lining membrance of the nose becomes in flamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom paeEing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus pro ducing catarrah of the stomash. Medi cal authorities prescribed for me for j three years for catarrah of stomach without cure, but today I atn ' the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia' Tablets. I cannot find appropriate words to ex press my good - feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use" Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the very simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrah of stomach, billiousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.

Baltimore, Md., Jan. 12.: Maryland's married women are invested with ad ditional right under a new law which went into effect today. "While it places a wife more upon an equality with, her husband, it imposes upon her greater responsibilities. She is given absolute control over the disposition of her own property. In the case of a married woman who is under 13 years of age, however, the husband ha" to approye of the deed to make it valid, A- wife has the power to convey property by deed to ber husband and she is also I given power to make contracts. She can be sued separately ; nor is her hus band liable for anyact committed by his wife, without his participation.' If a wife, outside of her husband's presence, utters slanderous words against another married woman, the woman slandered may sue the other, and the husbands are not responsible. The new law practically places husband and wife on mi cvjuai legal juuung, .except mat one provision gives the husband dower rigt ts in her real property. The Oregon on the Way. .
