In placing this Remedy before the Public,
we will only refer to the following certificate,
which expresses all that we reed say. And
being from one who has experienced beneficial
results from its use, after having given it a
thorough trial, his words carry more weight
than anything we could say.
GENTLEMEN =
For number of years was greatly Attic
ted with Dyspepsia. and although my stomach
crBved food, it would Immediately reject it,
should l eat anything, no matter how small
the quantity. l was frequently compelled to
leave the table, without being able to take any
nourishment. In short time became very
much reduced in flesh, and was so weak thatI
was unable and unfit TO attend to my business.
My mind was in no better condition than nay
body, las was constantly oppressed with lassitude
and depression of spirits. l tried all the pat
ent medicines and prescriptions that l heard
of, and some of these afforded me temporary
relief but in short time l Felapsed into my
former condition.
While suffering in this manner, / heard of
G. F. Cations Dyspepsia Remedy, and con-
cluded to try it. / had taken it but a shor-
time when began to feel relief and continuing
to take it, l soon could partake of my meals
without any disagreeable feeling, either while
at the table or afteryard, and gained flesh rapt
idly. 1t is now nearly ten years since, and 1
have continued free from anything like a return
of Dyspepsia. l can therefore recommend it to
any one suffering in like manner.
Respectfully yours.

CURIosITIEs IN AMERICAN History.
American political history is full Of
curiosilies and singular incidents. For
instance, three of our Presidents, all
of whom participated in the Revolus
ton, died on its great anniversary,
the 4th Of July, viz; John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe.
George Washington, when be retired
from the Presidency, was in the sixty
sixth year Of his age. His successor
John Adams, when he left, was sixty
six years old. After him came Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, and James
Monroe Mr.. Jefferson was sixty-six,
Mr.. Madison had just passed his six
ty-sixth year, and Mr. Monroe was in
his sixthy-seventh, when they respec-
lively left the Presidential office.
From 1910 to 1925. the Presidential
office was filled by Yirginians. Dur
ing the same interval, with the excep.
ton OF four years, the Vice.Presiden-
tial Office was steadily held by citizens
of New York. John Adams negotia.
ted the treaty Of peace that concluded
the war of the Revolution with Eng.
land. His son, John Quincy Adams,
was a leading envoy, and negotiated
the treaty which ended the second
war with England, in 1914. His sou,
Charles Francis Adams, at the third
great crisis of our country, was our
Minister to England during the recent
war, FROM 1861 to 1865, the period
which covers the Alabama claims
question.

BEAUTY OF THE SEXEs.-The rela-
tive beauty OF the sexes is said to dif.
fer considerably in different countries.
French travellers in England have re-
ported that. as rule, Englishmcn arc
better looking specimens of,he human
race divine than English women. To
this opinion our gallantry forbids US
to defer. We, however, will state also
that these impartial French observers
have said that beautiful English girl
is the most lovely and Iovablc crea.
ture among created beings. In this
opinion we at once and unreservedly
express our entire concurrence But
of the relations between male and st.
male beauty in other countries we caa
speak more freely. Under the sun
ny skies of southern Italy, fine figures
are much more common among the
male than among tbs female sex. In
northern Italy this is less remarka-
bic. In France this state of things is
reversed. There, handsome women
are to handsome men as Que to six or
eight Among the SHOWS and frosts
of Russia, too, both in regard TO fea-
turc and figure. Why is this Z Is it
not in judging of female beauty our
canons of criticism are much more
strict than those we apply to the lords
of creation

minded man; disbclicvcs in love, Gu
pid, spirits, good or bad and is down

While jogging along. Eliminating upon
the probable rise aud fall in grain, his
wagon suddenly came TO a stop by
one wheel breaking off from the axle.
Joyce, being practical man, put his
ideas into practice, and was soon NOV
ing along with II rail dragging under
the broken axle, with the wheel laid
upon the top of bis load
"All for the best" thought he;
"there may be a rise in grain before I
ret to town" So he hauled up at The
next house on Indian creek and called
for assistance. But the assistance he
desired was not to be had, the farm
having been owned and managed by a
buxom widow and her little boy. But
Joyce could leave his wagon, there, so
he could, and 81 little food would not
hurt him, said the accommodating
widow--and OF which he agreed to,
and straightway unhitched his team.
Now, whether fate had arranged

when the johnson county farmer re-
