SOMETHING WORTH REMEMBERING.
J
Indigestion or Dyspepsia is caused by the inalty of the stomach to supply the proper gustrie juices to not on the food and digest it.
Constipation is the result of poor stomach digestion which preventa. the bowels from mcging regularly each day.
Flatulency is caused by bad stomach disges. tion which permits the foods to forment und causes large quantities of gas to form.
Heartburn le
caused by acid formenta- tion in the stomach.
Biffousness comes from in-action of the liver which throws the bile ints the stomach and interferes with is natural muscular setion.
Rhein and Gout cannot occur except when there is an excess of uric asid in the Blood Uric acid is produced when acid for- mentation takes place in the stomach, instead
of Normal Ichsgestion.
Pimples ud blotches ome from impure blood, jure blood can only come from a healthy stomach.
It will-be observed that all these ills arise trom a disordered condition of the stomach.
The question arises how shall the stomach be sept breathy to avoid these ills?
The answer is simple, by the use of Abbey's Effervescent Salt, the ideal tonie laxative and stomach regulator.
We make the positive assertion that Abbay's Salt is superior to any other saline or drastic harsh medicine for stomach, bewol, liver and kiduey troubles. Abbey's Balt is superior because it is the intelligent rosult of years of experience and improvement in the manufacture of salines; where others have stood still Abboy's Salt bas progress, it looks different, it is | made_different, it tastes different and it acts
fenile, promptly, and surely.
Abbey's Salt absolutely corrects all disorders of the stomach, it keeps the liver active, the bowels regolar, and the blood pure. As 2 plourant, cooling, invigorating drink it is on

THE HORRORS OF WAR.
Baron Kanoke, addrossing a New York munt- ing on behalf of the widows and orphans of the Japanese soldiers, moved the women in the audience to tears by his description of the unexampled hardships endured by his fellow countrymen at the front during the past winter. He spoke of men sleeping on the frozen ground with thermometer 30deg below zero, of wounded literally swept to death by terrine blizzards, which lore aross the iey plains of Manekuria. The Emperor of Japan, when he heard of these terrible sufferings, was torn to the heart by the thought of his soldiers' misery, and ordered that no fire should be lighted again in the palace until the war was over. We will not be warm until our soldiers are warm too," he said. Baron Kaneko declared that the Russians had violated every principle of humanity, broken every article of the Geneva Convention, outraged every maxim of decency. They dragged 200 Japanese prisoners through the streets of Mukden for thirteen hours as a spectacle inviting the derision of the Chinese populace. They were woanded prisoners, because no Japanese with blood and breath to fight over surrendered.
