NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.


This may read as though we were put
ting IL a little strong because It Is gem
orally thought by the majority OF peo-
nle that Dyspepsia IN it's chronic form
is ircurable, or practically so. But we
have long since shown that Dyspepsia
is durable. nor is II such difficult mat
ter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptlcs is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves or going TO opposite ex-
tremes. or else deluging the already
oyer-burdened stomach with "bitters,"
"after-dinner pills" etc, which inyari-
ably increase the difficulty, even If in
soma cases they do give a slight tenn
porary relief. Such treatment Of the
stomach simply make matters worse.
What the stomach wants is rest Now,
how can the stomach become rested,
recuperated. and at the same time the
body nourished and sustained?
This IS the great secret. and this is
also the secret Of the uniform success
of stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. This is
a comparatively new remedy. but IFS
success and popularity leave no doubt
as to its merits.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition or stomach.
T'be sufferer from Dyspepsia, accord
dance of good. wholesome food, and use
the tablets before and after each meal,
and the result will be that the food will
he digested, no matter how bad your
dvsnepsia may be, because, as before
stated. the tablets will digest the food,
even If the stomach Is wholly inactive.
To illustrate our meaning plainly, il you
take /. 500 grains of meat, eggs, or ordi-
nary food and place IL In a tempera-
ture of IS degrees. and put with ii
one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1t
will digest the meat or eggs almost as
perfectly as II the meat was enclosed
within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak,
vet these tablets win perform the work
of digestion, and the body and brain
will be properly nourished and at the
same time a radical lasting cure OF dys-
pepsia will be made, because the much
abused stomach will be given. 10 some
extent. a much-ueeded rest. Your drug
gist will tell you that Of the many rene
dies advertised TO cure dyspepsia, none
of them has given so complete and gene
raj satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and not least In Importance in
these hard times is the fact that they
are also the cheapest and give the most
good for the least money.

A PRETTY SENTIMENT
Expressed by Judge Fnrrar Before
n Grand Army Camp.

Recently, at Finley Lake New York,
Judge f. r. Farrar, in concluding his
address to a large gathering Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, said
II am now an old man. The best Of
my life IL gone. My warfare IS ended.
l want TO be at peace. Comrades, there
is one bond that binds us together
the memory Of our dead. I give this
beautiful incident: A husband and wife
had been long estranged. They hap
pened to meet one day at the grave OF
their frst-born child-the child Of then
youthful love. The strife between them
had been bitter Their love had turned
to hate. and they had chosen TO tread
LIES pathway apart They stood upon
either side Of the little mound and
looked coldly upon each other, and then
they looked upon the little grave which
held the broken link with which God
had bound together their hearts. They
bowed their faces on the cold sod that
covered the sacred dust of their little
baby Then they stretched their hands
across the little grave, each to the
other. and the angel OF God washed the
bitterness from their hearts with
shower of tears, and sent them down
lifes pathway hand in hand "a in other
days when love was Lord OF their lives.
Now we Of the North and South can
kneel above the graves Of our noble
dead. The arrangements will be for
gotten, the bitterness OF years will pass
away like a troubled dream. We clasp
hands across the tomb, and the bene-
diction Of God falls upon united peo-
pie"
Speaking of the address Of Judge Far
rar, a local paper has this to say:
ut is nothing unusual for an old com
radc in arms to talk 10 the boys in
blue about their mutual dangers and
sorrows now so long past, but when
an ex-Confederate officer appears before
the same audience 10 tell the story OF
"Johnnie Reb" and receives the hearty
applause of his old foes, it assures us
that peace really reigns. at least in the
hearts of those who were most deeply
interested in the late conflict"

differently Among many, Gerlcaults,
The Raft of the Medusa," representing
the survivors of the wreck of that vessel,
was Of great interest TO me. IL Is PIC
ture OF agony and despair, almost more
terrible than the reality. Versailles has
never been occupied as a palace since
the mob carried Louis XVI. and Marie
Antlonette 10 Paris, on October ., l'9,
but II has not IN any way been touched
or interefeTed with, and remains now
as it then was, unchanged. Its gorgeous
magnihcence creates the impression upon
an American that no Royal family could
live in that abode OF magnihcence and
be in touch with the people OF France.
Its galleries are filed with historic pic
lures. Among them IS one by Horace
Veruet, 1.-THE Capture Of the Smala of
Abd-el-Kader," a French victory In Al
glers.
ROTHSCHILD'S FACE.
"The most noted figure in this ceie-
brated painting is that of an Arab chief
in the garb of his eountrymen, escaping
with his money bags, which Is said to be
an exact likeness Of the French Roths-
child. He requested Veruet 10 paint his
face in the picture and the painter offered
10 do so for 1900 francs. This,
Rothschild declined to pay but when he
saw the picture Of the Arab with his
face. he offered 10000 francs to have 1t
taken out. Veruet refused his offer,
and then the rich man appealed TO the
courts, but lost his case, and the figure
remains.
Among the more recent statues In
Paris. that one TO Danton, in the Ecole
de Medicine, is very striking. Every

One by one they tower and they are
gone. Great conquerors with their
armies have done the business of the
early floods. And buried races lie like
geologic strata, great names marking
the periods. And still the advance goes
on and things improve. And what shall
be the next flood. and when. and how?
1t can hardly be a universal war: we
have too much sense for that. But sup
pose that should come. might IL not oblit-
crate us? II Is appalling to think OF tina
destructive machines Of one Of our first
class nations. There are rife muskets
dead shot more than mile oft. cannon
OF Emile range. repeaters. and explo-
slves. and shells, and torpedoes. and
chemicals, and eectrics. and submarine
boats, and flying machines. Now sup
pose all these machines and engines and
destructives TO be operated by skilful
men, why should not two armies utterly
destroy one another, like the Kilkenny
cats? Is not that plain business reason
ing?
Now, add to this another electric and
galvanic triumph. Everybody knows
that water is made OF hydrogen and
oxygen gases-one the intensest burner.
tho other the greatest supporter OF
flames. And. by electric methods. we are
gases. Moreover. we are stretching our
wires through all the lakes and waters
of all sorts that cover the earth. Man
Is really approaching n power when he
may not only arrange by touching
button TO tear up acres of rock, as Gene
raj Newton did He'll Gate; but a little
farther, and he may set a river on fire!
We have certainly come upon wonder
full times. An appreciation Of them
shocks the mind. just as the electric
current does-is fairly stunning
At the period OF the First Advent
darkness covered the earth. and gross
darkness the people. All thoughtful
hearts looked for tho dawn Of a new
day, for the Messiah; and He came in
the fulness of time.
Now light and knowledge cover tho
earth and intense light pervades the peo-
pie. Circumstances compel education
and mental and physical energy and
exercise. Everything requires the high
est development OF man and woman. And
the world is full of institutions 70 per-
feet intellectual, and physical light and
power. Appliances, instruments, methods
are extending the dominion OF man with
out limit. His vision reaches the re-
hottest star and the almost inconceiva-
BILE microbe--the infinite and the inini-
tesimal. Nothing resists his penetra-
ton. And every sense Is enabled TO
exercise an Office suggestive of a higher
condition; q life above the equipment
Of this, his present body. The physical
windows Of the soul are opening TO an
infinite beyond. Man IS feeling the in
convenience and confinement of his pre-
sent state. He is getting TO be too big
for the earthly house of this tabernacle.
RE is impatient under It. Even ire
ligious man is familiar with the thought
that his earthly house must yield TO one
Of a higher larger. purer, clearer style,
eternal in the heavens.
