,ians that, unless be stopped drinking, he
would become blind, has been unable to
withstand temptation. Regardless OF the
result to his eyes, he became drunk again
and lay all night In the city jail
Ward, while drunk became involved in
1 fight, and received a blow under the eye
which cut big cash in his cheek. He fell
to the floor and the wound was filled with
1irt. Inflammation set In and the sight was
almost destroyed. He was told that IL he
drank before the wound healed there would
be no help for him.
Ward is a we'll educated man, having
peen graduated from the Yale law school.
While In college he drank heavily, and
after he left school he went from bad to
worse. He was full of remorse ns he lay
in his cell. But he has lost all hope and
all belief in himself. sit is no use,' he
said, "rhe appetite for drink is too strong

sell it under this guarantee
"If you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting it on, or here.
after in the wear, tell your dealer about it.
"We authorize him to do what is right
at our expense.
The following story tells how little the
risk is
]. H. Asher & Co., hardware dealers,
Rhinebeck, N. Y, have sold Devoe from
'76 to now, and have had just one COM
plant in all this time.
Three sides of house were perfect; the
fourth was as bad as the three were good.
Explanation-It rained the night before
the fourth side WAS painted; and the paint
ers didn't wait for the wood to dry.
What is done in such case ? Whatever
the dealer, who sold the paint, considers
it fair to do. We leave it to him. He
may not do exactly what we should do if
we were there; but we are not there. The
best we can DO is to leave it to him.

A GOOD COMPLEXION
Depends on Good Digestion.

This Is almost an anxiOm although
usually we are apt to think that cos
metics, face powders, lotions, fancy
soaps, ETC., are the secrets for securing
clear complexion. But all these are
simply superficial assistants.
1t is impossible to have a good COM
plexion unless the digestive organs
perform their work properly, unless
the stomach by properly digesting the
food taken into it furnishes an abunG-

Is impossible.
This Is the reason SO many ladies are
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, be-
cause they promptly cure any stomach
trouble and they have found out that
perfect digestion means a perfect com
plexion and one that docs not require
cosmetics and powders TO enhance its
beauty.
Many ladies diet themselves or deny
themselves many articles of food sole
ly in order to keep their complexion
clear. When Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are used no such dieting is neces-
sary, take these tablets and eat all
the good wholesome food you want and
you need have no fear of indigestion,
nor the sallow, dull emplexlon which
nine women out of ten have, solely
because they are suffering from some
form Of indigestion.
Bear in mind that beauty proceeds
from good health, good health results
from perfect digestion and we have ad-
vanced the best argument to induce
every man and woman to give this
splendid remedy a trial,
