Another enthusiastic meeting of the na v.il reserve was held at the courthouse last nignt.

NEW MEI'K aL DISCOVERY A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia This may read as though we were put ting it a little strong, because It is geti- (erally thought by the majority of people that dyspepsia in its chronic form Is In curable, or practically so. But we have long since shown that dyspepsia Is cur able, nor Is it such llfflcult matter as It first appear. The trouble with dyspeptics Is that they are continually dieting, starving themselves, or going to opposite extremes or else deluging the already over burd ened stomach with "bitters." "after din ner pills,' etc., which Invariably Increase the difficulty even If In some rases they do give a slight temporary relief. 8u h treatment of the stomach simply make matter worse. What the stomach wants Is a rest. Now how can the stomach become rested, recuperated and at the same time the body nourished and sus tained. This Is the great secret and this Is also the secret of the uniform success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This Is a comparatively new remedy, hut Its suc cess and popularity leaves no doubt as to Its merits. The tablets will digest the food any way, regardless of the condition of the stomach. The sufferer from dyspepsia ac ording to directions Is to eat an abundance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal and the result will be that the food will he digested, no matter how ha.i your dyspepsia may he. because as before stated, the tablets will digest the food even If the stom o h Is wholly Inactive . To Illustrate our meaning plainly, if you take yo grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place It In a temperature of W degrees, and pot with It one of S'tiart's f)yspepln Tablets It will diL'i-st th- meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if the meat was enclosed within the H'om.ich. The stomach may he ever so w'-ak y t these tabbts will perform the work .f digestion and the body and brain will h' properly nourished and at the same time a radical. Ins'lng cure of dyspepsia will be made b'-cause the mil' h abused stom ach Will be given, to some extent, a much ncdcl rest. Your druggist will tell you that of the many remedies ad vertised to cure ilvpepula none of th'-m has given so complete and general sat isfaction as Hniart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not the P-.-iHt n Importance In these hard times Is the fart that they are also the cheapest anil give the most good for the least money.
