NOUS.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the
new Catarrh cure has the follow
ing advantages over other catarrh
remedies.
First: These Tablets contain no
cocaine, morphine or any other
injurious drug and are as safe
and beneficial for children as for
adults; this is an important point
when it is recalled that many ca
tarrh remedies do contain these
very Objectionable ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this
remedy does not deteriorate with
age, or an exposure to the air as
liquid preparations invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only
preserves the medicinal properties
but is so far more convenient to
carry and to use at any time that
1t IS only question of time that
the tablet will entirely supersede
liquid medicines as it has already
done in the medical department of
SAAS CA4lCO states dA
Next: No secret is made of the
composition of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets; they contain the active
principle OF Eucalyptus bark, red
gum blood root and Hydrastin, all
harmless antiseptics which, how
ever, are death to catarrhal germs
wherever found. because they elm
inafn than f~nr, ff,.
Next: You can not cure catarrh
by local applications TO the nose
and throat, because these are
simply local symptoms and such
treatment can not possibly reach
the real seat of catarrhal disease
which is the blood; for this reason
inhalers, douches, sprays and pow
ders never really cure catarrh, but
simply give temporary relief which
a dose of plain salt water will DO
just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of
the system, out of the blood, by
an internal remedy because an in
ternal remedy is the only kind
which can be assimilated into the
blood
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this
better than the old form of treat
ment because they contain every
safe specific known to modern
science in the antiseptic treatment
of the disease.
Next: The use of inhalers, and
spraying apparatuses, besides being

expensive. while a complete treat
ment of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
can be had at any drug store in
the United States and Canada for
so cents.

lery sort of elocution is due to the per-
sonal efforts of the divine Sarah her
self. She is an unusually rapid reader,
and, whether or not one like her in a
given role, there is 10 tagging while
she is on the stage.
Nine. Bernhard has an exasperating
habit, lately acquired imagine, of
emitting an All" in a gasping sort of
way and shaking her head at the audi

as to say: Did you notice that? That
shows you what l can do when l let
myself out" At such moments she is
superb, despite the gasp and the nod,
but the trouble with 'L'Aigion" for
Nine. Bernhardt's purpose is that these
moments are few and far between.
Coquelin, too, has his annoying little
mannerism, which becomes almost I'M
bearable after two or three acts. His
offense consists in drawing out the
last syllable of the last word of each
speech into a sibilant cadence that is
presumably intended to be majestic
but which instead is merely laugable
until it becomes annoying.
All in all, the Bernhardt- Coquelin
engagement in this city in ''L'Aigion"
was the colossal disappointment of the
year. This is not the opinion of one
man either. One of the ticket takers
at the Garden theatre, indeed, inform
ed me that at no engagement during
this season or the last had he seen so

response. In other words, they spoke
as ordinary mortals speak in every day
life, instead Of waiting for each speech
to sink into certain depth, as is the
wont of most American and English
actors. Our managers and stage direc-

There is but one Sarah Bernhard,
and, zen PEASANT" it may be observed,
that if she were never more capable of
more brilliant work than that which
she shows in "L'Aiglon," there would
be no cause for regret that there is but
one of her.
Coquelin, Bernhard and Rostand
certainly make a promising trio-on
paper. AS fact, in combination on
the stage they are aggravatingly COM
monplace 1t is naturally impossible
to write criticism of Bernhard and
Coquelin in Rostand's play "L'Aiglon"
without making comparison with the
Maude Adams production which is still
a. the Knickerbocker theater in this
city. 1t may be said that the French
presentation of the drama is superior
to the American offering in more than
one respect, but if | were advising
friend as to which one to seesI should
unhesitatingly pronounce in favor OF
the Adams production. This is due to
the fact that play fairly we'll acted in
ones own language is better than a
play only tri1e better acted in a
tongue with which one is not thorough
" familiar, and in which necessarily
many of the most delicate points are
lost.
Bernhard, it is true, is vastly super
ion to Maude Adams in the stronger
senses, but the latter has apparently
made such close study of the French
actresses in the role that her work is
almost replica of Bernhardt's. Co
quelin as Flambeau, the faithful ad-
berent of the Eaglet, the rough bear
like soldier of fortune, does not COM
pare with j. H. Gilmour in the Adams
production. This may sound like sac
rilege to those who blindly worship all
things foreign, but it is a fact never

One result of the advent of Nine
Bernhard in ''L'Aiglon" has been the
rise of Miss Adams stock as an ac-
tresS, for, while the fact that she had
the great advantage of being enabled
to see the creator of the title role of
Rostand's play must be borne in mind
it is nevertheless true that, except in
the few violent scenes of the play, she
is SO, nearly satisfactory that the re-
Election that she is playing in English
is apt to tip the scale in her favor
from the standpoint of the average
American theatre goer. The cOnclu-
sion is inevitable that, great as
''L'Aiglon" is as a play, or such a trans
cendently fine artist as Nine Bern
hardt unquestionably is would have
made more of an impression in its
prOtean role.
Of the staging of the two produc-
tons, candOr compels the admission
that, save in a few minor details, the
French people have the better of the
argument. Especially true is this in
what might be called the vision scene
on the battlefield of Wagram, where
the Eaglet is alone with the dead body
of Flambeau. The scene in which the
Eaglet is shown the toy soldiers paint
ed in French colors was much better,
