Why tho Emperor Is tho Most Popular
Character In History.

Within the past year there has been
q revival Of interest in the carscr OF
Napoleon Bonaparte that is almost
phenomenal. In literature he has fig
u. CIV in the pages Of memoirs and rem
iniscences by those who came into
more and less intimate contact with
him. In art not only has he been pc.
tent inspiration to modern painters
and sculptors, but he has made price.
less all pictorial records Of his time. In
the drama he poses as the most pictur.
esque figure that has been brought
upon the stage within the century.
Personal relics of the man are held as
sacred and beyond all price, AS Paul
Bourget aptly says, Napoleon has
hypnotized the French people again. I"
In France the sting of defeat after
the Franco russian war turned the
thoughts Of all to their period Of great
est glory, and SO 1t needed but time to
see Napoleon enshrined as an idol. An
equally logical explanation is found
for the most notable feature Of the Ma.
poleon revival In this country.
The Century's life Of the emperor was
projected five or six years ago, before
anyone could have foreseen the pres
ent attitude of the public mind. II
was undertaken solely with the idea
that Napoleon was one of the greatest,
most forceful and picturesque charac-
ters in the entire range Of history, and
that hitherto he had been Inadequate.
ly represented. For that reason Prof.
William M. Sloane, the greatest Amer
lean student Of French history, was
commissioned to write the life, and
his years Of study among unpublished
archives have brought out his com.
pleted labor at the most opportune mo-
ment. And Prof. Sloane shows us q
new Napoleon, devourer of books, an
unsuccessful literary aspirant, an inef-
fectual Corsican political agitator, but
the new Napoleon certainly makes the
old Napoleon more easily compre.

A STORY has leaked out regarding
the late car. A few nights before he
died he got up about midnight, and,
feeling much better, began to play on
the trombone, of which instrument
he was considered master. The half
mad DR.. Zaeharin, hearing tho noise,
sent a note to his majesty, politely re-
questing that 1t be stopped. The car
replied that If the doctor didn't like
and couldn't appreciate good music, he
could leave the palace. The son Of
Escula Plus smiled grimly and awaited
his revenge. It came next day, When

Of all cases Of consumption can, If taken In
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally in use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations OF
hypophosphites and such like palliaffSTs.
Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds OF
living witnesses to the fact that, III all its
earlier stages, consumption is durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
ceafage Of cases, aud we believe, fully %
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter) great loss of flesh
and extreme enaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal diseasel You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal Inalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod.
| liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had oniy seemed to benefit little for
q short time Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
| phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.
