The Harvard library numbers among
its treasures an autograph of Milton
and copy of "pindar" annotated in
Milton's own handwriting. with mar
ginal notes in Greek and Latin. Both
of these raritics We're bequeathed to
the university by Charles Sumner.
The "Pindar' is dated 1920 and was
doubtless used by Milton during his
stay at Cambridge university. At the
end he has added an alphabetical index
in manuscript, occupying two closely
written pages of all the authors cited
in his notes, With references to the
pages i'll which their names occur.
Millions autograph is found in the
pages of an autograph album or visit
ors' book kept, according to a custom
common in the sixteenth century, by a
Neapolitan nobleman, Camillus Car
doyn by name, who resided in Geneva
from 160S to 1640 where Milton, APP
parently, visited him. Another auto
graph in this same album among the
hundreds which it contains is that of
Thomas Wentworth, the unfortunate
Earl of Stafford. NIilton's signature is
dated Jan. 10, 1879, and is appended

THE OLD WAY.

We say the old way but really it Is
the common and usual one ut the pres
cnt time. and many dyspeptics, and
physicians as we'll. consider the first
step in attempting to cure Indigestion
is to diet, either by selecting certain
food and rejecting others or to greatly
diminish the quantity OF food usually
taken.
III other words the starvation plan,
is by many. supposed to be the first es.
sential in tho euro of weak digestion.
The almost certain failure OF the
starvation cure for stomach trouble
has been proven time and again but
.till the usual advice. when dyspepsia
makes It's appearance, is course OF
dieting.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientitc TO recommend diet
ing or starvation to person suffering
from dyspepsia because Indigestion it,
SELF starvcs every organ and every
nerve and fibre in the body.
What is needed is abundant nutri-

some natural digestive to assist the
weak stomach to digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
ana this Is the way they cure the worst
cases Of stomach trouble.

food. and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
