Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends OF NJ. A. Hogarty of Lexington,
Ky, when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice.
He was treated by the best doctors,
but without benefit Then he was
advised to try Electric Bitters, the
wonderful stomach and liver remedy,
and he writes: CATER taking two
bottles l was wholly cured" A trial

THE BLACK VENUS.
An Usly stone Figure Worshiped ~
Peasants Of brittany.


Even false religions die hard, and
there are reminders Of all extinct
faiths still existing in the world. One
OF the most curious relics of paganism
which are still worshiped in q Chris
tian country is the gigantic black
stone igure of a woman which is to be
found in a forest Of the district Of
Norbihan. in Brittany.
1t is known as the "Black Venus"
but probably dates far back of the
time when the Greeks and Romans
worshiped that goddess Antiquarians
assert that this ugly idol belongs to
the age Of the serpent worshipers, ono
Of whose subterranean temples Is in
the neighborhood. This would make
the figure far older than the Christian
era.
The statue Is that Of huge, un.
couth woman, with a sullen. angry
countenance. her form enveloped in a
loose mantle.
The superstitious Bretons have al.
ways worshlped the figure. asserting
that it has power over the weather and
the crops. If the idol is neglected. they
declare that the grain dies on the ear
and II the anger of the black woman Is
further reused tidal wave sweeps
over Morbihan.
Twice the stone was cast into the sea
by plous folk who hoped thereby to put
an end to this idolatry, and twice the
peasants dragged it back and set up an
altar before it.
About two centuries ago Count Pierre
de Lannion, on whose estate the figure
stood, in order to save the statue from
both friends and enemies, dragged II
by 80 yoke of oxen to his own chateau
and set 1t up in the courtyard. He cut

carved by CRsar's soldiers,
The count and his chateau are both
gone, but the huge black woman, over
grown with moss, still stands in the
forest, and the peasants still beseech
her to bless their crops.

When the quantity Of food taken is
too large OF the quality too rich, heart
burn is likely to follow, and especially
so if the digestion has been weakened
by constipation. Eat slowly and not
to freely of easily digested food. Mas
tcate the food thoroughly. Let six
hours elapse between meals and when
you feel a fullness and weight in the
region Of the stomach after eating,
indicating that you have eaten too
much, take one Of Chamberlain's
