So things went on from bad to worse, until the wife, disgusted with this intolerable state of things, left the conjugal abode and returned to her mother. A few days ago Jean accidentally came across Juliette, and after saying that he could not live with her, as she still loved her former husband, sug- gested, as a compromise, that they should meet from time to time on the neutral ground of a room at hotel The woman accepted the proposal. A day or two ago the appointment was kept at a house in the neighborhood of the Arc de Triomphe, and as he left Jean asked the people not to dis turb his wife, as she was resting. Ere com hitting suicide he had written letter to the local commissary, which was lying on the table in his room, and which stated that he had killed his wife at the hotel which he named, as she would devote her self entirely to the memory of "the other" Sure enough, when the police repaired to the spot, they found that the poor woman was dead. She had been smothered with a pillow.

lost in treating it properly at the start, be- cause recent researches have shown that the most serious, fatal and incurable dis eases have their origin in simple dyspepsia or indigestion.
 Diabetes is simply one form of indiges- tion the sugar and starchy food not being assmiated by the digestive organs. In Bright's disease the albumen is not prop erly assimilated.
 While consumption and dyspepsia are twin diseases, and it is beyond question that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for the seeds of consumption.
 But the trouble has been ofind a rem edy that could be depended upon to cure dyspepsia, as it is notoriously obstinate and difficult to cure.
 This has been the question which has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike, until the question was solved three years ago by the appearance of a new dyspepsia cure in the medical world known as Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which it was claimed was certain, reliable cure for every form of stomach trouble.
 Physicians, however, would not accept such statements without first giving the new remedy many tests and carefully ob- serving results.
 For three years the remedy has been thoroughly tested in every section of the country and with surprising and satisfac- tory results.

ulativc stagnation here makes the nggrc.

because they have enormous orders taken
