Houston, Tex., July 1.—This forenoon at
the cotton exchange a large gathering of
business men assembled through the knowl-
edge that the first bale of cotton of the
season of 1897-98 would be sold. The bale
was second to only one other in time of ar-
rival in the market, hence many persons
turned out to see it and take part in the
proceedings connected with its reception
and disposal. Among those noticed in the
large hall were W. D. Cleveland, E. W.
Cave, S. Towles, John Hagermann, R.
Cage, W. B. Chew, George Ellis. W. V. K.
Watson, M. Pierce Geiselmann, F. M. Tut-
tle, J. A. Zeigler, Chas. Hunnewoll, R.
Nosworthy, J. G. Lindsey, Win. Christian,
James Adair, John Woolford, Wells Kirk-
land, S. McNeil, N. McCall, James F. Dura-
ble, A. F. Ammermann, J. K. P. Gillaspie,
Ike Walker. T. Fitzhugh, Frank Cargill,
E. Timmons. Major C. B. Peck, W. Robin-
son, H. G. Lidstone, A. F. Lumm, C. Wil-
der, D. B. Cherry, Frank Fitz-
hugh, C. J. Wolcott, W. M. Mitchell, W. F.
Riley, Wm. Dooley, Chas. Dillingham,
Charles Woikart and a number of others.
They chatted and talked of new bales until
shortly after 11 o'clock, when Mr. W. V. R.
Watson, vice president of the exchange,
called the meeting to order and briefly ex-
plained what they were there for, and
among other remarks stated that W. D.
Cleveland & Co. had received the new bale
of cotton for the season of 1897-98, and, as
usual on such occasions, would offer at
public sale to the highest bidder. He also
mentioned that a bonus of $200 would go
with It; $100 had been put up by Sondheim
Bros, of New York and $100 by these Hous-
ton firms: Cargill & Richardson, Carson, Se-
wall & Co., T. W. House, Inman & Co.,
Henke & Pillot, H. D. Taylor & Son. S. O.
Cotton & Bro., the Joe Meyer company
and C. H. Lucy & Co.
He closed his explanatory remarks by
saying that he would call upon the young-
est member of the cotton exchange to do
the "knock down" act to the highest bid-
der, and with that presented the venerable
secretary, Mr. G. W. Ividd, of the exchange
to the meeting'.
Mr. Kidd then took his stand upon an im-
provised platform and opened his remarks
by paying his respects in most complimen-
tary terms to a party of ladies who had
taken their seats in the gallery. This elicit-
ed applause and gave additional inspira-
tion to the speaker. He alluded to the fact
that the bale had already been referred to
as next to a record breaker, which made
its appearance in 1892. After other perti-
nent preliminaries, he stated that lie had
been authorized to say that the Left Hand
fishing club would start the game with a
bid of $100. This brought forth hearty ap-
plause. The bidding then went ahead at a
.ively rate. Ike Walker, $12f»; Left Hand
club, $200: C. H. Lucy & Co.. $225; the J. F.
Meyer company, $325; Left Hand club, $3;j0.
The last amount somewhat checked the
bidders for a time, and the most persuasive
words had to bo resorted to by the auction-
eer before he could get them started again.
He appealed to the pride, patriotism and en-
terprise of the representatives of the vari-
ous lines of business, and the next bid
came from Wise & Fitzhugh cotton com-
pany, $375. (Applause.)
The J. T. Meyer company bid $380 amid
applause, and to them, after some pleading,
it was knocked down. Mr. Pierce Geiselman
for this house said he would donate it to bo
sold again for the benefit of the Faith home.
(Applause.)
Auctioneer Kidd then made appropriate
remarks touching tho noble object of the
Faith home and the character of the noble
woman, Mrs. De Pelchin, who started it.
He related her last sickness, and the bids
were resumed:
Left Hand club, $100; C. H. Lucy & Co.,
$105; Left Hand club, $110; Lucy & Co.. $115;
Left Hand club. $120: Lucy & Co., $125; Hous-
ton cotton exchange. $130; Left Hand club,
$135; cotton exchange, $140: Left Hand club,
$150. Knocked down to the Left Hand fish-
ing club.
For the club Mr. Gillaspie asked Mr. Kidd
to resell the bale for the Bayland orphan
fltiome. (Applause.)
Mr. Kidd then stated that Mr. Gillaspie,
attorney for tho club, had given it again,
and he asked bids. He told of the noble
object of the Bayland home. Bids were
started by the cotton exchange, $50; Lucy
& Co.. $00; Carson, Sewall & Co., $75: cotton
exchange, $80: Carson, Sewall & Co., $85;
Lucy & Co., $90: Carson, Sewall & Co., $95;
Lucy & Co., $100: cotton exchange, $105.
Knocked down to the cotton exchange.
Mr. Watson stated that it was the desire
of the exchange to do good for the city, and
Htate. and they would ship it to Sondheim
Bros, of New York, to be disposed of for
the benefit of the Sheltering Arms of this
city, a noble charity.
The classification committee made> this re-
port on the bale, which was read by Mr.
Kidd:
Houston, Tex., July l.—we, the commit-
tee on classification and quotations, having
inspected the first bale of new cotton of the
season 1897-98, shipped to Messrs. William
]). Cleveland & Co. by Messrs Croft Co. of
San Diego, Duval county, Tex., do pro-
nounce the same to be middling cotton,
staple long, but warty and napped, color
dull. E. W. TAYLOR,
Chairman;
W. H. LUCY,
J. H. ADAIR,
WM. HOWARD,
Committee.
The following table shows the dates of
first bales in tho past:
Date— Amount.
July 9, 1879, by W. V. R. Watson $94 50
July 12, 1880, by W. D. Cleveland 305 00
July 5, 1S81, by A. Harris & Bro 425 00
. . 1882, by Carson & Ellis 250 (H)
July 8, 1883 (2 bales). Woikart & Co... 210 00
and G. A. Hill 130 00
July 22, 1884, by Max Jaeger
July 23, 1885, by W. O. Ellis & Co 100 00
July 18, 1886, by J. C. Wo.kart 65 00
July 6, 18S7, by W. O. Ellis 230 .00
July 18, 188, by A. L. Steele & Co 105 00
July 21, 1889, by Merchants & Planters'
oil company 225 00
July 21, 1890, by Carson, Sewall «& Co... 110 00
July 7, 1891, by J. F. Meyer 217 00
July 11, 1892, by C. J. Woikart 110 00
The record is incomplete up to 189G, when
the first bale was bought by the Left Hand
llshing club for $250. It was donated by
Mr. Clem Bassett for the Bayland home
first, and after its purchase by the Left
Hand fishing club it was reshipped and sold
in other cities for charity.
The largest amount realized on any bale
sold by the exchange was the one in 1890,
sold and donated to the Bayland orphan
home, then sent to St. Louis, Chicago, New
York, Boston, and the total sum brought
over $3000, and paid the home out of debt.
3n St. Louis it brought $575 and in New
York |830.
The new bale was shipped this evening by
the Paclflo express through their agent, Mr.
G. A. Riley, through whose efforts it will
he sent free of cost in furtherance of the
noble charity to be promoted in helping the
(Sheltering Arms.
In speaking of the bale. Vice President
Watson, in reply to a question, said:
"We might have sold it again on the floor
of the exchange, but it is likely that better
results can be obtained by sending it to
New York, and at the same time advertise
Texas and Houston as the home of first
hales. It will go directly through, and will
reach that market days, or perhaps weeks,
before another new bale will get there.
Sonheim Bros, will handle it to the best ad-
vantage and all the good that can be had
for Houston will thus be reached."
It might well be added here that after and
even during the sale of the cotton, excellent
champagne punch was made an entertaining
feature. It was so abundant that the com-
bined efforts of the assembled company
failed to dispose of it.

Children'*) Day*
Houston, Tex., July 1.—The goat editor, in
speaking of Children's day, has this to say
to thi3" chums:
You must all ask your friends to turn out
on Tuesday, July IS, and you can tell them
that we'll have the biggest time we've ever
yet had. We havp plenty of shade and LuOO
can sit down in the grand stand at one
time. The grand stand keeps off the sun
and a breeze always blows there. There is
a big artesian well flowing 175,000 gallons a
day of nice cool water. Then there is a
nice, big grove of trees. You can bring
your dinner along and have a picnic in the
woods, or you can buy dinner on tlie
grounds. The Southern Pacific, beginning
at 9 o'clock, will run a train every twenty
minutes, and there will be ten coaches on
each train. They go right to the grounds.
Tho trains start from the Grand Central de-
pot and will stop at Bonner's Point and
Fry's store. All children under 12 years old
ride free on the trains and grown people
only pay 25 cents for the round trip. This is
very literal, as the railroad has to haul at
least 15,000 children for nothing. When you
get out to the grounds maku yourself at
home. The gates will be wide open. There
is no charge either to get into the park or
for seats in the cool, shady grand stand.
It's all free.
Oil Mill Outlook.
Houston, Tex., July 1.—Mr. Henry C.
Butcher, president of the Southern cotton
oil company, owner of several oil mills in
the south, James S. Richardson, a largo
cotton man of New Orleans, and A. P.
Sauer, superintendent of the New Orleans
and Houston oil mills of the company, ar-
rived in tho city this morning. President
Butcher is on a trip through the south in-
specting his mills and looking into the crop
prospects and the oil mill business for the
year. In response to questions, Mr. Butcher
said:
"l find things in good shape throughout
the south and I think a large business will
be done this year, the largest for a long
time, and I hope there will be money in it.
We can do the business, 1 think, if we don't
have to do it too cheap to make it pay. I
am informed that the outlook in Texas is
very promising and 1 find it to be so at
points where 1 have been. I spent three
days in New Orleans."
This evening Mr. Butcher returned to New
Orleans and Mr. Richardson left for Fort
Worth.

InterNtate Drill.
Houston, Tex., July 1.—The showy, or
more properly, the brilliant advertising bills
of the San Antonio interstate drill, to take
place on the 17th, were distributed in the
city yesterday and are attracting a good
deal of attention. Houston is a military
city if she is anything, and he.r people ad-
mire military precision and excellence1
wherever it is to be seen. Many have ad-
mired the heroic design of the large bill,
the main feature of which is said to be a
picture of the battle of Bull Run, one of
the early battles of the late war. The bill
on the whole is rather striking, as was also
the omission of reference to the state en-
campment. The local military companies
are doing some hard drilling to show them-
selves perhaps on the drill ground at San
Antonio, and there is no little surprise at
the fact that no mention on the bill was
made of its being a state encampment.
Some of the privates have asked the offi-
cers for an explanation, but they did not
explain further than to suy that it was
perhaps an oversight in some way.
Cemetery Lot*.
Houston, Tex., July 1.—In the court house
this afternoon the case of O. C. Drew vs.
the Houston cemetery, J. T. Mahoney, in-
tervener for costs before him as justice of
the peace in cases in which the cemetery
company was party, came up. The hear-
ing was before A. C. Allen as master and
the object of the inquiry appeared from
the questions and answers to be to get at
the value of lots in Glenwood cemetery;
also to ascertain the prices for lots under
the receiver and the prices asked before
the matter was placed in the hands of a
receiver.
The witnesses on the stand were Captain
William Christian, the receiver, Alfred
Wisby, the former secretary, and Thomas
Tlnsley, largely interested in the property.
From all the testimony it appeared that
the lots are being placed at lower figures
than before.
La 1'orte Excursion.
Houston, Tex., July 1.—Several small par-
ties of pleasure loving young ladies and
gentlemen with the proper number of chap-
erons have been made up to go to La
Porte Friday on the excursion arranged
for that occasion. An orchestra has been
secured and will render an attractive pro-
gramme. The management has also ar-
ranged for street cars to connect with the
lust train at 11.30 o'clock from La Porte to
take the excursionists to their homes on
the various belt lines of the city. The com-
mittee in charge has arranged for boats
l'or the tourists while at La Porte.
Died Near FloreMville.
Houston, Tex., July 1.—Dr. J. Allen Kyle
of this city to-day received intelligence of
the death of his mother, which occurred
yesterday morning near Floresville. The
remains have been shipped to the home of
the deceased's husband. W. H. Kyle, at
.Nursery on the Victoria branch of the

tend the funeral.

St. Louis to Boston. Through cars.
Tho bill of complaint filed in the United
States circuit court by the Union trust com-
pany and William M. Rice against the city
of Houston, its mayor and board of alder-
men, sets forth the basis of a plea of in-
junction, the temporary writ for which was
served Wednesday and published in yester-
day's News. After reciting the details of
the incorporation of the Houston gas light
company, beginning in lfcOG, and by the city
of Houston by ordinance giving right of way
to the streets, the further history of tho
company is gone into.
According to the bill, the company was in-
corporated for twenty-live years, but on
April 23, 1S74, the legislature amended and
changed its act of incorporation so as to
have sueecission by its corporate name for
the period of iitty years from the date of its
act, instead of twenty-five years, the change
being made pursuant to and under author-
ity of certain resolutions passed both by the
stockholders and directors of the gas com-
pany.
The property value ol the company is
placed at not less than $200,000, and is de-
pendent chiefly upon the incidental property
right of making use of the streets, etc., of
tho city, ami any steps taken to prevent the
use of the streets, etc., must Inevitably be
attended not only with the destruction in
value of its plant and property, but with the
practical destruction or deltat of the cor-
porate enterprise itself. The outlay of
money in the enterprise is said to have been
made prior to the passage of a furthvr or-
dinance by the city council about February
14, 1st!7, controlling the location of the gas-
ometer of the company, and was in all re-
spects compiled with by tin- company in so
far as related to locating it.
The complainants say that the power of
the gas company to have corporate life and
conduct its business and to use the streets
of Houston in the pursuit of its business is
not derived from the city of Houston, but
directly from the state of Texas, and the
authority to grant such powers to gas com-
panies was not conferred upon the city of
Houston, but was retained to be exercised
by the state, the city being vested with no
authority in the premises except the right
to give or withhold its consent to the use of
the streets in the first instance, and to pre-
scribe regulations for their use, and having
no power to impose terms or conditions.
it is contended that the city has no power
or authority to regulate rates to consumers,
but nevertheless the city council, some six
weeks ago, under pretense that the consent
granted to use the streets of that city had
expired, passed an ordinance, granting the
right to the company to use the streets, etc.,
for lift eon years from the date of the ordin-
ance, instead of for the term of its full cor-
porate life, dependent, however, upon the
company charging consumers only <1.50 per
1000 and its acceptance of the ordinance.
Tho complainants say the company re-
fused to accept the terms, but, for the sake
of avoiding clamor and maintaining har-
mony, reduced the rate to $1! from $3, as it
had been, and had it been within the range
of reason, complainants say, the price would
have been reduced to $1.50 without accepting
the terms of the ordinance, but tills reduc-
tion. it is claimed, would have crippled the
company, embarrassed its business and
would furnish no reasonable returns for the
investment, and besides. $2 is cheaper, or as
cheap, as gas is furnished in any city in
Texas.
I'pon ihe inclination of the company to ac-
cede to tlie terms of the ordinance, it is as-
serted that the council on June 14 and 21
repealed It, and the city attorney, as com-
plainants are informed, advised the council
that an ordinance would, in his opinion, be
proper, directing and requiring the street
commissioner to tear up and remove the gas
pipes from tho streets: that such an ordin-
ance was actually prepared, submitted to
the city attorney, approved by him and put
in course of passage, but was revoked be-
fore reaching a point of final passage,
though with the avowed purpose on the part
of the city council of supplying the city at-
torney with legal assistance and speedily
renewing its light upon the gas company;
that the council Is now negotiating with
counsel and Is making diligent and active
preparation to remove the gas pipes or
otherwise prevent the use of them in the
streets. It is to restrain the city from tear-
ing up the gas pipes that a temporary in-
junction was issued and a permanent in-
junction sought.

ROOD'S TEXAS RR1GADE
Elected OJllcerM and Adjourned to
Meet In Malvern. Arkansas.
Floresville, Tex., July 1.—To-day was tlie
second and last day of Hood's Texas brig-
ade reunion for 1SI»7. The crowd in attend-
ance was not quite so large as yesterday,
but the old soldiers had rested well and
were fed well and were in a good humor.
There was « regular programme prepared
for the old soldiers, such as songs by ladies
and gentlemen, recitations by young ladies
ami occasionally a speech.
Yesterday evening Hon. Columbus Upson
of San Antonio made a rousing speech,
which was wildly cheered.
At the business meeting of the association
to-day the following officers were elected:
J. II. Polley, president: T. J. Thrasher of
Arkansas, vice president: J. C. hoggins of
Ennls, treasurer; Geo. A. Barnard, secre-
tary.
The next meeting of the brigade will b«
on June 27, 28 and 21), 18M, at Malvern, Ar-
kansas. Captain Thrasher, the new vice
president, belonged to the Third Arkansas
regiment during the war, and that regiment
was a part of Hood's brigade. He lives at
Malvern, Ark., and It is on his invitation
that the brigade will meet there next year.
The reunion of 1S97 lias been a success in
every way, although tlie number In attend-
ance was not large. The 'veterans were
shown every attention by the people of
Floresville and Wilson county. They have
expressed themselves as highly pleased.
HISTORY AND VISITORS.
The first reunion of the brigade was held
at Austin, August 31, 18GG. The brigade,
when lirst organized, was composed of the
First, Fourth and Fifth Texas, and was
commanded by Louis T. Wigfall. Afterward
the Eighteenth Georgia and Hampton's
legion wi re added, when it was placed un-
der the command of General John K Hood.
It at that time numbered about -dito men.
The Eighteenth Georgia and Hampton's le-
gion wire withdrawn and their places tilled
by the Third Arkansas. The old brigade
had afterward two commanders, General J.
15. Robertson and John Gregg, but it was
under General Hood that they immortalized
themselves and placed their names on tho
pages of history, poetry and song. They
bear to-day his revered name, and when
asked if they loved their old commander
their eyes kindle and the n ply comes
quick. "Yes, and he loved us, too." They
were in every engagement under Lee ex-
cept Chancellorsville, and in every emer-
gency they stood to Lee as the old guard
did to Napoleon. So says A. E. Wilson of
S< guln, and he wants It to go on record.
Their first engagement was at Elkln's
landing, and the last was at Appomattox
Court House, when about 200 surrendered.
There are about 330 of the old original brig-
ade! now living.
Hon. A. W. Houston of San Antonio de-
livered an address at the opera house- to
tho old soldiers.
Many distinguished visitors from a dis-
tance were present at the reunion, among
whom may be named Mrs. Samuel .Maver-
ick of San Antonio, one ol the early set-
tlers of that cltv when cow paths served
as streets: also her son. Mr. Samuel Mav-
erick. and her grand-daughter. Miss Sallie,
who sang a beautiful song for the enter-
tainment of the old soldiers. Mrs. A. W.
Houston was present and felt at home
among the old soldiers. Her father's homo
in Arkansas was always open to the con-
federate soldier, and her heart still goes
out for tin* veterans and the lost cause.
Two beautiful recitations were rendered
by Misses Leonora Paschal and Mettaire
Bin n ton.
Messrs. Monserrate and Palfrey of the
Aransas Pass railroad were present, taking
in the reunion.
All the way from old Arkansas, Captain
Tom Thrasher and Judge Alexander came
to take in the reunion, both of whom are
members of Mood's brigade.
Mr. Mryan Houston and lady and Mrs.
Columbus rpson and Mrs. Keyset' were
present. Also W. C. Croeyer.

Rockdale, Tex., July 1.—Rubata Salas,
who was arrested a few days ago, charged
with the poisoning of Ovata Ovlna on last
Sunday, an account of which was pub-
lished In Monday's News, had his examin-
ing trial before Justice Wells in this city
yesterday. The evidence showed th<.t Salas
met Ovlna and asked him for $r,«mi which he
had owed hlni for some time. When osin.i
told him he did not have the money Salas
said, "All right." and took a flask of wlii.s-
k> from bis pocket and asked Ovina to
drink with him, which he did, but only look
a small swallow, as he detected the whisky
was bitter, in a short time he began to
feel the effects of the poison and sent for a
doctor. Salas was bound over in the sum
of $500. In default of which he was bent to
Cameron jail.
WEATHER AND CROPS.
New Birmingham. Tex., June 30.—This
section was visited last night by a splendid
season, which Insures a heavy corn crop.
Cotton la doing nicely.
Lockhart, Tex., July 1.—Have had no rain
during the past three or four weeks and
cotton is beginning to suffer seriously. If
rain does not come soon the forms will fall
off. The weather Is very hot. Corn would
not be benefited much, it' any, by rain. Hay
crops arc all good.
Kountze, Hardin Co.. Tex.. June 30.—A
good rain visited tho town of Kountze and
adjoining communities yesterday and lasted
till :» o'clock p. m. The weather continues
very warm and threatening. Farmers In.
town to-day report crop prospects never bet-
ter at this season of the year.
Hcidenhoimer. Bell Co.. Tex.. July 1.—
There is no corn scarcely in this immediate
section. Cotton all had to lie replanted.
The plant looks well now but Is needing rain
badly. Farmers have quit plowing, as the
ground Is so dry and hard. Late millet is
needing rain. If It doesn't rain soon cotton
will not make more than half a crop.
Easterly, Robertson Co., Tex., June 30.—
While this section will be blessed with u
good corn crop, it will fall far short of what
was so confidently expected. About 10
o'clock in the morning cotton commences to
wilt and this it continues tor do until about
5 in the afternoon. During the night It ap-
pears to recuperate and in the early part
of the day looks quite fresh. Corn and cot-
ton are both needing rain badly.

Fourth ol' ,lul> Celebration.
Beaumont, Tex., July 1.—It is now thought
that there will be at least 5000 visitors to
this city for the celebration on July 3.
Every passenger from off the Sabine and
East Texas, the Gulf. Beaumont anil Kan-
sas City, the Gulf and Interstate and tho
Texarkana and Fort Smith says that tho
crowds from off their respective roads will
be enormous. Beaumont is a centering
point for the roads named and the people
living along those lines look upon this city
as their metropolis. The number of busi-
ness firms applying for positions in the
trades display division of the procession is
rapidly increasing and that department will
be three times as large as it was last year.
The other departments are being looked
after by hustling committees and will be
well cared for. It is expected that there
will bo liiO bicycles in the parade. Tle-o
will be divided in pairs and under the fol-
lowing captains: Rearguard, M. K. Fletch-
er and Neat Rogers: right guard. Charles
R. Bone: left guard. K. G. Wilder; ud-
vance ,g'uard, Oheiiuult O'Brien and F. W.
Greer. All who will properly decorate their
wheels are requested to do so. but all w ho
ride a wheel are invited to .join In the ju-
bilee. The lire department is having its
implements of salvation nicely decorated
and will form a pleasant feature of the day.

every street and will enable all to see the
procession.
A Had < a Inula r.
Beaumont, Tex., July 1. Judge Stephen
P. West passed through the city en route
to Woodville from Orange to-day. The judge
tells a strange story of how a misprint cal-
endar robbed Tyler county out of a week's
term of court and put himself to ri > end
of trouble. It seems the sheriff or the prop-
er ofticers In summoning witnesses, jurors
and others to the court had used ;l long-
range calendar which show- 1 live Mondays
instead of four for tho month of June. The
result was that everything was just a
week off. The clerk of Tyler county has
preserved tho calendar and keeps it stowed
safely away In the vaults as a memento of
tho trouble It caused.
IIMNCIMIII.
Beaumont, Tex., July 1.—The game Sun-
day with the Americans revived the inter-
est In baseball here materially. The Amer-
icans are the strongest team that has yet
visited Beaumont, although the score, Hi to
5, did not look that way. They played a
snappy game, but could do nothing with the
.south paw lad Murray from Galveston.
Among the games for the future are lir.-t
the two games with Hyatt-Warren on July
3 and 4. An effort is being made to secure
a game with Itrenhani at Galveston on the
first open Sunday there. The two clubs are
undoubtedly the two strongest cluiis out-
side the league In the state, and they can
interest any league team either, for that
matter. They ought to be a good drawing
card in the Island city and the ileal may be
closed. The Lake Charles, La., team is
strengthening up so as to be In hailing dis-
tance of Beaumont. Beeeher, the former
shortstop of the Galveston team, and Gates,
a semi-professional, passed through last
night en route to Lake Charles to join the
team. They have also secured two other
players from New Orleans. With these
additions they will have a strong team.
Murray is the only professional on the
Beaumont team, and he has played only live
games of professional ball.

Patent Medicines, Rat in Nature'*
Own Way.
| Any honest physician will tell you that
l there is but one way to get increased flesh;
: all the patent medicines and cod liver oiis
I to the contrary notwithstanding.
• Nature has but one ^ay to increase flesh,
I strength and vigor of mind and body, and
| that is through tho stomach by wholesome
food well digested. There is no reason or
common sense In any other method what-
ever.
People are thin, run down, nervous, pale
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspepsia,
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food or what they eat is not quickly
ami properly digested ay it should be.
Dr. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secretion
of gastric juice.
Nature's remedy in such cases Is to sup-
ply what the weak stomach lacks. There
are several good preparations which will do
this, but none so readily as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which are designed espe-
cially for all stomach troubles, and which
cure all digestive weakness on the common
sense plan of furnishing the digestive prin-
ciples which the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect is to Increase the ap-
petite and increased vigor, added flesh, pure
blood and strength of nerve and muscle is
the perfectly natural result.
i Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
) tonic known and will cure any form of
. stomach trouble except cancer of the stom-
| aeh. May be found at druggists at DO cents
