Dyspepsia

The explanation is simple. II is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead OF the elements OF strength and
vgor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply doaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich. red blood; gives
natural sleep. perfect digestion, is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles.

In another part of the palace Queen
Nashti is entertaining the princesses Of
Persia NJ a banquet. Drunken Ahasuerus
says TO his servants, You 20 out and fetch
Nashti from that banquet with the woIhen
and bring her To this banquet with the
men and let me display her beauty" The
servants Immediately start 10 obey the
kings command, but there was n rule In
oriental society that no woman might mp
pear In public without having her face
yelled. Yet here was mandate, that no
one dare dispute, demanding that Nashti
come In unveiled before the multitude.
However, there was in Vashti's soul n
principle more regal than Ahasucrus, more
brilliant than the gold of Shushan, of more
wealth than the realm of Persia, which
commanded her 10 disobcy this order of
the king, and so all the righteousness and
holiness and modesty Of her nature rises
up into one sublime refusal She says, II
will not go into the banquet unveiled.
of course Ahagucrus was infuriate, and
Vashti robbed Of her position and her cs-
tate. is driven forth In poverty and ruin
to suffer the scorn Of nation, and yet to
receive the applause Of after generations
who shall rise up to admire this martyr to
kingly insolcncc. Well, the last vcstigc of
that feast is gone, the last garland has
faded, the last arch has fallen, the last
tankard has been destroyed, and Shushan
Is a ruin, but as long rs the world stands
there will bc multitudcs OF men and wom-
en- familiar with the Bible who will come
into this picture gallery Of God and admire
the divine portrait Of Nashti the queen,
Vashti the vcilcd. Vashti the sacrifice,
Nashti the silent.

Other Senators have criticised other public men just as harshly as Tillman did, and it being their right to do so no objection has been nude. but no other Senator has ever belched forth such deluge of billingsgate as Tillman did, and the worst feature of 1t is that he claims all his black guardian to be done in the name ol the people and in the interests of re- form.

Some oF the ablest silver men in Congress be- lieve that Tillman has done the cause of silver irreparable injury by his wild talk. It must be galling to South Carolinians to read Of Tillman's boast that he has the electoral vote of that state completely under his control and can place it wherever he pIeases.
