IN A FEW WORDS.
CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Ef-
fective Cure for it.
Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in-
curable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, formation of gasses,
causing pressure, on the heart and
lungs, and difficult breathing; head-
aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inte-
rior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a slimy, inflamed condi-
tion.
The cure of this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily and
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to Dr. Harlandson the
safest and best treatment is to use af-
ter each meal a tablet composed of
Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden 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 per-
fect safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn
St., Chicago, 111., writes: "Cattarh is
a local condition, resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby
the lining membrane of the nose be-
comes inflamed and poisinous dis-
charge therefrom passing «backward
into the throat, reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stom-
ach. Medical authorities prescribed
for me for three years for catarrh of
the stomach without cure; but to-day
I am the happiest of men after using
only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. I cannot find appropriate
words to express 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 simplest and most convenient
remedy for any form of indigestion
catarrh of stomach, billiousness, sour
stomach, heartburn and bloating after
meals.
Sufferers from Piles May Learn of a
Harmless, Lasting Cure.
There are plenty of pile cures which
give relief and sometimes cure a mild
case of piles, but there is only one
which can be depended upon with cer-
tainty to cure obstinate, long standing
cases and that is the Pyramid Pile
Cure.
Endoresments and testimonials are
received daily from men and women
whose integrity and reliability are
above question and in this connection
a letter received from the Rev. Jas.
H. Wessbrook of Bowie, Mich., may
be of interest to sufferers who have
sought in vain for a cure. He says:
I have used the Pyramid Pile Cure
and I know that it is all that is
claimed for it. I had been troubled
with piles more or less for about eigh-
teen years and I had tried other reme-
dies, but the piles grew worse until
about ten months ago I used the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. It gave almost instant
relief and I have been free from piles
ever since.—Rev. H. Jas .Wesbrook.
Mr. Frank Smith, the well known
and popular druggist of Ypsilanti,
Mich., in speaking of the Pyramid Pile
Cure says; "A year ago I sold C. C.
Potter, 119 Hamilton St., Ypsilanti,
Mich., a box of the Pyramid Pile Cure.
He made the following statement to
me to-day: "I have been troubled for
twenty years with itching piles. Have
tried nearly everything that promised
relief, but got very little help until
one year ago Icalled on my druggist,
Frank Smith, for a box of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. The one box used ac-
cording to directions was ,in my case,
a perfect cure, as a year spent without
any symptoms of the trouble has con-
vinced me."
Although a comparatively new rem-
edy, its popularity is such that all
druggists now sell it; if your druggist
hasn't it in stock he will get it for
you if you ask him, at 50 cents and
$1.00 per package.

in the civil war 40,000 men were killed
in battle and 300,000 died of sickness
in camps and prisons, showing the

War Losses* Compared.
According to the official reports
that have been made to the War De-
partment, the following is a lisc o* cas-
ualties which occurred from tha be-
ginning of the war up to the first of
October: Died of disease, 2485 enlisted
men and 80 officers; died of wounds re-
ceived in battle, 61 enlisted men and 4
officers; killed in battls, 257 enlisted
men and 23 officers; total 2910 casual-
ties. The loss by disease is more than
seven times the deaths in battle and
from wounds. The fatal casualties In
Cuba were one officer to ten men; by
sickness and subsequently, one officer
to 62 men. These proportions are re-
markable, and the popular notion that
the officer is better protected in camp
than the private is not sustained by the
actual casualties. At Santiago there
were in 18 commands 391 officers and
8122 enlisted men, a proportion of 21
1-2 to 1. These losses of officers were
therefore proportionately twice as
