Dr. Red well relates an interesting ac
count of what he considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new'
discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: "The patient was' a man
who baa suffered to my knowledge, for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create gases in
the stomach ; be had pains like rheuma
tism in the back, shoulder blades and
limbs, fullness and distress after eating.
poor appetite and loss of flesh ; the heart
became affected, caueing palpitation and
sleeplessness at night.
I gave him powerful nerve tonics
and blood remedies, but to no purpose.
A3 an experiment I finally bought a
fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them to.
him. Almost immediately relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearance, fully cured-
"There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after 'meals,
the appetite. was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and 12 pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores,
yet I consider tbem a most valuable ad
dition to any physician's line of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or invalids
or in any condition of the stomach with
perfect safety, being harmless and con
taining nothing but fruit and vegetable
essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
Without any. queetion they are the
safest, most effective care for indiges
tion, biliousness, constipation and all
derangements of the stomach, however
slight or severe."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the F. A. Stuart Co., of Marshall,
Mich., and are sold by druggists every
where at fifty cents per package-

Campaign Against the Filipinos.
New York, April 20. A epecial to the
Herald from Washington says : Not
withstanding the presence of the hot
season and the imminence of the' rainy
season in the Philippines, there is to be
no cession of active hostilities against
the Filipinos,
This fact developed at a conference be
tween the president, Secretary Alger,
Secretary Long and Adjutant-General
Corbin. It was also decided not to issue a
call for the 35,000 volunteers authorized
by the army reorganization law. .
It is the purpose of the administration
to send to the Philippines almost as
many regulars as there are volunteers to
be returned. There are fifteen volunteer
regiments which, according to General
Otis, will return home commencing
May 5. .
- Six regular regiments are now on their
way to Manila. With their departure
only three infantry commands will re
main in the country available for service
in. the East. It is understood that if
conditions continue satisfactory in Cuba,
a couple of regiments of infantry will be
drawn from that island and the Eleventh
from Porto Rico. .
Tnere is talk also of dispatching cav
alry to General Otis.
His Life Wan Bared,
Mr. J.- E. Lilly, a prominent- citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder
ful deliverance from a frightlul death.
In telling of it be says: "I was taken
with typhoid fever, that ran into pneu
monia. My lungs became hardened. I
was so weak I couldn't even sit up in
bed. Nothing helped me. I expected
to soon die of consumption,' when I
heard of Dr. King's New Discovery.
One bottle gave great relief. I con
tinued to use it, and now am well and
strong. I can't say too much in its
praise." This marvellous medicine- is
the eurest and quickest cure in tbe world
for all throat and lung trouble. Regular
