ACCLAIM TO HUMAN GRATITUDE.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, tender
hearted peasant girl Of Normandy made
great history by one desperate act!
Sickened by. the saturnalia Of the French
revolution, and moved to desperation as
Robespierre and Marat were leading the
flower of France to the guillotine, she
determined that she would put an end
to Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred
thousand victims for the gulotine!
He proposed to kill Off the enemies of
the Revolution to make it perpetual!
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fired the blood OF this
patriotic peasant maid!
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by subterfugc, she found him
in his bath even then inexorahle and
Swing written directions for further
slaughter!
He asked her the names OF the inimical
deputies who had taken refuge in Caen,
! She told him, and he wrote them down.
| "a hat is well! Before a week is over
they shall all be brought to TIE
| guilotine.'
1t these words, Charlotte drew from
| her bosom the knife, and plunged it with
supernatural force up to the hilt in the
| heart OF Ntarat.
"Come to me, my dear friend, come
TO me-" cried Marat, and expired under
the blow!
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington
s1nted as behind the prison bars the day
before her execution.
/, is a thrilling, sad picture, full OF
sorrow for her suffering country, and OF
unconquerable hate for her country s
| enemies.
What lesson in this tragic story! Two
hundred, nay, five hundred thousand
people would Marat have sacrificed to
his unholy passion of power!
Methods are quite as murderous and
memorable as men, and they number their
victims by the millions.
The page of history is full of murders
by authority and by mistaken ideas
In the practice of medicine alone how
many hundreds of millions have been
allowed to die and as many more killed
by unjustiiable bigotry and by bnnsling
But the age is lettering. Men ard

medicine. To-day there are not two
physicians in any town in this country
who do not regularly prescribe some form
of proprietary remedy!
