NAPOLEON THE DESPOT
His Character as Shown by Other Let
ters, Just Published

The unpublished correspondence of
Napoleon l., says the London Daily
News which has just been printed in
two volumes by a Paris firm. is at
tracing wide attention. His concep-
ton of the state seems to be that of
an army, of which he is commander in
chief. Nothing in France must be
done without his leave-not even an
opera may be brought on the stage
His philosophy may be reduced to a
few leading ideas. Newspaoa must
be punished for uttering falsehoods
unless by imperial order He approves
OF plays, provided they are adapted to
they eXtol the emperor. Apropos of
new opera, The Death of Abel, he
writes to Mr.. De Remusat, project OF
police: Il do not approve of subjects
from holy scripture being set up on
the stage. These subjects shoull lie
left to the church The chamberlain
had better say this to play writer's. in
order that they may look cut for other
subjects"
The Napoleonic system was the most
systematic negation OF freedom we
have seen in this country but with its
universal CONSUMPTION and other fea-
lures it gave the people a sort Of
equality. 1t has been noticed that out
of the three watchwords of the French
Liberte. Egalite. Frater-
rite'-egalite is the only one the
French really care for. Napoleon looks
upon the postotfice as a means of in

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured
by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
New Discovery, But Not Patent Med
iciUe

Dr.. Redwell relates an interesting &C
| count OF what ne considers a remarka BILE
cue of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new
discovery, -Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate SEEM
ed to sour and create acid and gases In
the stomach; he had pains like rheuma-
tisnt il the back. shoulder blades and
limbs, fullness and distress after eating,
poor appetite and loss Of flesh; the heart
became affected, causing palpitation and
sieeDlessness at night.
] gave him powerful nerve tones and
blood remedies, but 10 no purpose. AS
an experiment l finally bought a fifty
cent package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets az a drug store and gave them TO
him. Almost immediate relief was
given, and after he had used four boxes
he was 20 ali appearances fully cured
There was no more acidity or sour
watery riSlnSs, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
ganeI between 10 and u pounds in
weight in solid. healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores,
We: | consider them a most valuable ad-
dition to any physicians line OF RENE
dies, as they are perfectly harmless and

in any condition of the stomach with

tanning nothing but vegetable and fruit

Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
ton. b:liousness, constipation and all de-
rangements of the stomach, however
slight OF severe.
