Jewish Folklore.

Miss Ray Frank. when delivering her lecture at Mrs. Sloss' residence yester- day, spoke of the various theories con- corning the origin and distribution of myths, legends and tales. explaining the difference between a myth and a legend. Her remarks showed study, and were de- livered in the pleasing manner that makes Miss Franks lectures so popular. She said that philology had thus far done more than aught else to determine the meaning and kinship of legends. The phenomena of nature had undoubtedly originally given rise to the myths and legends of the people.

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is
indigestion or in it's chronic form. dys,
pepsia, and for the very reason that it
lis SO common many people neglect tax
ing proper treatment for what Trey
consider trifiing stomach trouble, when
as matter of fact, indigestion lays the
foundation for many incurable diseases.
No person with n vigorous, healthy stom-
ach will fall a victim to consumption.
Many kidney diseases and heart troubles
date their beginning from poor digestion;
thin, nervous people are really 50 because
their stomachs are out of gear; weary.
langud, faded out women owe their con
dition to imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion it is not
surprising that nearly every secret pat
ent medicine on the market claims to
be cure for dyspepsia, as well as q
score of other troubles, when i'll fact, as
DR. Werthier says, there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable, and moreover,
this remedy is not a patent medicine,
hut it is a scientific combination of pure
pepsin free from animal matter), vege-
table essences, fruit salts and bismuth.
1t is sold by druggists under name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No extrav-
agant claims are made for them, but for
indigestion or any stomach trouble,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far
ahead of any remedy yet discovered.
They act on the food eaten, no dieting
is necessary, simply eat all the whole
some food you want and these tablets
will digest it. A cure results, because
all the stomach needs is a rest, which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by do
ing the work of digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at 80 cts.
per package. Circulars and testimonials
sent free by addressing f. A. Stuart Co.,

Additional Testimony as TO the Merits of
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.

A gentleman remarked recently that
had stranger or an outsider come to
North Carolina, and made the cures
among our people that Mrs. Joe Per-
sons Remedy had made, the people
would have been stirred as never before.
Read this and suppose a case:
Eleven years ago l had a child that
was delicate from birth, and for six
months she was under constant care of
the best physician we had in our town.
But his medicine seemed powerless to
control the bowel trouble which had be-
come chronic dysentery. She also suf-
fered from some aggravated blood trou-
bic, which caused large sores and risings
to break out on her body. Oft time
there would be as many as 20 or %.
We had several doctors to treat her at
different times, but nothing reached her
case. They would lance these risings,
but as soon as one was cured another
broke out, and the doctors gave me no
hope of her cure. After she had led
Il life of agony and suffering for six
months. was inspired to try Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy. There was a change
for the better in twenty-four hours, it
seemed to check the bowels at once, and
after using few bottles my child was
entirely cured and has never since had
any sign of the trouble, and is now in
perfect health. A few years after this
