story. in which a man sacrificed all to
save his wife. In 1884 Fields was re-.
spected farmer of Scott county. His
wife's brother, w. A. Scott, whose
reputation was not of the best, had
given him considerable trouble and
finally Fields forbade him to come on
his place.
One day Scottdisregarded the order

beaten. His wife rushed to bis assist.
ance and stabbed her brother to the
heart With pair of scissors. Fields
took the first train for the west and, as
there was no witnesses, all believed
that he were the murderer. His wife
some years afterward became involved
in difficulty with a woman and killed
her, for which she was sentenced to the
penitentiary. A short time ago. as she
was dying of consumption, she was
pardoned.
The truth then became known, and
amends were at once made as far as
possible for the wrong that her hus.
band had sufferd. Fields is said to
have prospered greatly in his new
home. and it is doubtful if he will care
to return to the State of his BIRTH.

a GOOD COMPLEXION
Depends on Good Digestion.

This is almost an axiom although usual
Iy We are apt to think that cosmetics
face powders. lotions. fancy soaps. ETC.
are the secrets for securing a clear com
plexion But all these are simply super
fetal assistants
II is Impossible to have a good complex
ion unless the digestive organs perform
their work properly. unless the stomach by
properly digesting the food taken into 1t
furnishes an abundance Of pure blood, a
good complexion is impossible.
This Is the reason so many ladies are
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. because
they promptly cure any stomach trouble
and they have found out that perfect di-
aestion means perfect complexion. and
one that does not require cosmetics and
powders to enhance its beauty.
Many ladies diet themselves or deny
themselves many articles of food solely In
order to keep their complexion clear When
Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets are used no such
dieting is necessary, take these tablets and
cat all the good wholesome food you want
and you need have no fear of Indigestion
nor the sallow. dull complexion which nine
women out of ten have solely because they
are suffering from some form of indiges-
Jion.
Bear in mind that beauty proceeds from
good health, good health results from per-
feet digestion. an We have advanced the
best argument to induce every man and
woman to give this splendid remedy trial
