THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA.
From the Tlepubllcan Scranton Pa.
The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack of
"itality; the absence of nerve force: theJo4
jf the life-sustaining elements of the blood.
Xo oi Ran can properly perform its func-
tion when the source of nutriment fails.
When the stomach is robbed of the nourish-
ment demanded by nature assimilation
teases unnatural gases are generated; the
sntire systin responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms
ind torture of dvsnepsia is furnished by the
case of Joseph T. Vandyke 440 Hickory St.
Scranton Pa.
In telling his story Mr. Vandyke saj;s:
"Five years ago I was afllictcd with a
trouble of the stomach
which was very aggravat-
ing. I had no appetite
could not enjoy myself at
any time and especially
uvas the trouble severe
u hen 1 awoke in the morn-
ing. I did not know what
the nilment was but it be-
came speedily worse and
I was in constant misery.
"I called in my family
physician and he diag-
nosed the c.ue as catarrh
of the stomach. He pre-
scribed for me nnd 1 had
his prescription filled. I In Mhtry.
'ook nearly all the medicine but still the
trouble became worse andl felt that mv
condition was hopeless. I tried several rem-
edies recommended by my friends but with-
out benefit. After I had been suffering scv-
tral months Thomas Campbell also a resi-
lent of this city urged me to try Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
"He finally persuaded me to buy a box
ind I began to use the pills according to
lirections. Mefore I had taken the'second
box 1 began to feel relieved nnd after taking
few more boxes I considered myself re-
itored to health. The pills gave me new
life strength ambition and happiness."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure dyspepsia
bv restoring to the blood the rcnuisitc con-
itituents of life by renewing the nerve force
and enabling the stomach to promptly and
properly assimilate the food. These pills are
l specific for all diseases having their origi-
nation in impoverished blood or disordered
nerves They contain every clement requi
lite to general nutrition to'restore strength
to the weak good health to the ailing.
FROM HER VIEW.

A man standing on the back platform oi
an east-uoutul r.uclid .car wax mucii amusen
by a ionveiatiou he couldn't help over-
hearing between two well-dressed women.
It was six o'clock and of course the car was
crowded. There weie several ladies on the
platform and the tuo who talked were close
to the involuntary listener.
"Dreadful isn't it. out here?" said ono
lady.
Yes said tlie other nut wnat can you
lo? I m dreadfully ashamed to go home at
thin time of the afternoon. e have no
business on thc&e cars. I declare it too
bad. Just see all those men stnndine un
in the car and nil the women sitting down.
They should be ashamed of thenit-elvcs the
women l mean i in giuti mat some oi me
men don't net un. Thev serve the women
just right. Men arc so foolish about such
tilings t mean giving up tlieir seats lit
course nine gentlemen oat of every ten will
offer their seats but 1 never Svant to nccept
one. We have no nglit to expect such
favors. And yet what can you do? It makes
n woman look so foolish hemming and haw-
ing and trying to refuse a seat. I tried it
once or twice nnd then sat down after all.
The trouble is the men don't believe we are
in earnest when we refuse a seat and I
fiucss most of the time they are right. There
ook in the car now and see the poor pale-
faced man giving the stout woman his seat.
It's too had. That man has been bending
over a desk all day and I suppose the woman
'.no been out to some afternoon euchre nartv.

-
A Nurse's Experience.
She'd rather have one than three.
There are thousands of people suBerlng
from blood poisoning who nave almott
beggired themselves in buying medicines
from which they have obtained no help.
There are thousands of others who first or
last have tried Dr. Aycr's Sarsaparllla and
found perfect healing. One of these
others Mrs. A. F. Taylor of linglevale
N. Dtlc. relates the following experience .
"About two years ago I nursed a lady
who was suffering (and finally died) from
blood poisoning. I must have contracted
the disease frontier; for shortly niter her
death I had four large sores or ulcer
break out on my person. I doctored for a
long time both by external application
and with various blood medicines; but in
spite of all that I could do the sores would
not httl. They were obstinate very pain
ful annoying and only getting worse all
the time. At last I purchased six bottles
of Dr.Ayer's Sarsaparilla thinking I would
give it a thorough trial. Before the first
ottte was taken I noticed decided im.

There is more Catarrh In this section of
the country than ail other diseases put to-
jethcr and until the lest few years was
rftmnoscd to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies nnd by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science lias proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
