made many efforts to procure the liberia
ton of the man, who doubtless would
have, been restored to reason by freedom
and ordinary surroundings, but in vain;
the Cardinal was against him, and his
English friends began to fancy that he
himself had lost his senses, for one wrote
to another: MY lord is remarkable for
never being satisfied with any explana-
tlons which are given him, but always

people gave the credit OF being the dis

Preventing Future Misery.

If there is, in this vale of tears. a more
prolific source of misery than the rheu-
matte twinge, we have yet to hear of it.
People are born with tendency to rheu-
matism, just as they are with one to CON
sumption or to scrofula. Slight causes
may develop this. As soon as the agoniz-
ing complaint manifests itself, recourse
should be had to Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which checks its further in
roads and banishes the rheumatic
poison from the system. This statement
tallies exactly with the testimony OF
physicians who have employed this fine
blood depurent in their private practice.
There is also the amplest professional and
general testimony as to the efficacy of the
bitters for malaria, liver complaint, con-
supation, Indigestion, kidney trouble.
nervousness and loss of appitite and
flesh. After wetting. whether followed
by cold or not, the bitters is useful as a
preventive of the initial attack of rheu-
matiSm.

WHO DISCOVERED sTEAM2
Hero Is Story That shows Its Power
Was Known in 1876.

There lived in Normandy, where he
was born. in 1916, man named Solomon
Caus. He was an engineer and architect,
and had held several important positions.
He wrote a great many scientific works
and papers Of which, however, no one
took much notice during his life, and,
finally, was seized with an idea which
made his friends and relatives fear that
he was mad. After Fostering the King
and the Cardinal at Paris he was ordered
to be taken to Bicetre-the madhouse-
and there shut up. This was DONE They
had just one way with mad people in
those days. They shut them in iron
cages and fed them through the bars like
wild beasts. They did this to Solomon
Caus. For long time he stood behind
those bars all day and called TO those
who would listen, and to them repeated
the story he had told the Cardinal. He
became the Jest of the place. Some of
them even gave him writing materials
and then amid the misery of his sur
roundings he wrote down his ideas and
amused his jailers so much the more.
However, it could not be long before
such life, such surroundings would
shatter any brain. In time Solomon
Caus was as mad as every one believed
him.
1t was in 1924 that an English nobleman,
Lord Worcester, went TO Paris and Wis
lteu Blcetre. AS he was passing through
the great court, accompanied by the
keeper, hideOus face with matted beard
and hair appeared at the grating aud
voice shrieked wildly, stop! stop! 1 am

would enrich a country that adopted it.'
what does he speak of" the Marquis
asked his guide. "Oh, that is his mad
ness" said the man, laughing. THAT is a
man called Solomon Caus; he is from
Normandy; he believes that by the use of
the steam of boiling water he can make
ships go over the ocean and carriages
travel by land; in fact, do all sorts of
wonderful things. He has even written
book about it which I can show you"
Lord Worcester asked for the book,
glanced over it and desired to be con-
Quoted to the cell of the writer. When he
returned he had been weeping. "The
poor man is certainly mad now," he
said, ''but when you imprisoned him
