PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of
Imperfect
Food.
Digestion of
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of cer
tain dscay and death.
' In the human body' these germs of
death (called by scientists Ptomaines),
are usually the result of imperfect diges
tion of food ; the result of indigestion or
dyspepsia.
The stomach, from .abuse, weakens,
- does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (the first process of
decay) poisoning the blood, making it
. thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles ;
poisoning the brain causing headaches,
pain in the eyes. '
Bad digestion weakens the, heart,
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing brigbt's disease and diabetes.
And this is bo because every organ

every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nonrisbment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.' ,
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail .to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic
and hydrochloric; and peptogenic pro
ducts ; the moBt sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion, is to take after each
meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they eupply in a pleas
ant, harmless form all the elements that
weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form ot trouble
except. cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye ana clear com
plexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets at 50 cents lull sized

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free. .

RIVER AND
. HARBOR BILL
Goes TbioniO: tie Senate by a Vote
of 50 to 3.
ALSO THE CANAL
AMENDMENT
Canal' Rider the Bone of Fiercest Con
tention Session Lasted Eight
Hours Silver Republicans and
Democratic Senators Make a Vig
orous Attack, But All to No Avail.
Washington, Feb. 26. By -a vote of
fifty to three the senate, after a session
which lasted nearly eight hours, passed
the river and harbor -bill, with the
Nicaragua canal amendment. A deter
mined fight was made on committee
amendments, but in -each instance op
position was defeated. , '
The sharpest contest arose over . the
Nicaragua canal 'bill amendment. A
point of order was made against it that
it. was general legislation, 'but the sen
ate, to which the vice-president sub
mitted the point, overruled it. It was
then attacked as not being relevant to a
river and harbor measure, but this, too,
was overruled by the senate. Pettigrew,
Silver Republican, of South Dakota;
Rawlins, Democrat, of Utah, and Teller,
Silver Republican, of Colorado, vigorous
ly attacked the bill, their opposition, be
ing directed especially against the canal
amendment. The statement was made
that the measure would never see the
light of day in the house, and that the
canal would not be built under the prop
osition inserted in the bill.
Sewell, Republican, of New Jersey, de
livered a speech in support of the Hull-
Hawley army reorganization bill, in the
course of which he declared that the
United States was now as much at war
in the Philippines "as it was with Spain
when our army was before Santiago. He
expressed, the belief that it would re
quire an. army of 50,000 men to con
trol the Filipinos, and that we were
likely yet to have serious trouble in
Cuba.
