Maid Marian"

The Bostonians production of Maid Marian" at the Jefferson theater. next Thursday evening may be counted as one of the big attractions of the season. As a continuation of the story of Robin Hood, the interest should be equally as great. as in that success.
 Into Maid Marion" De Koven and Smith have introduced all the familiar characters of Robin Hood" and have imparted to them something like a se- quence as figures in that notable eoinpo- sition. Robin Hood Is at the opening of the scene of the new opera, announced as having taken his part as soldier ih the crusades to the Holy Land 1t is on the eve of his wedding to Maid Marion that he received his summons and has named Marion as his heir in the event of his death in battle, and has selected Friar Tuck and Will Scarlett as her protectors But in his absence, the willy old Sheriff of Nottingham renews his old-tnie plot ting against him; he fills Marions ears with suspicious of Robins faithlessness, and labors to induce her to give her hand to Guy of Gisborne his foolish dupe. Marion finally resolves to go to the Holy Land with Friar Tuck and Scarlett and Little John and Allan-a-Dale to ascer- tain whether he has been true to her, and thither she Is followed by the sheriff.

THE. FEAR OF HUMBUG Prevents Many People From Trying a
 Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so cormon and in most cases so obstinate to cure that peo- ple are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical perma- nent cure for dyspepsia ana Indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, es- pecially in medicines
 This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far in fact, that many neople suffer for years with weak diges- tion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a preparation so reliable and uni versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's.
 Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not secret pat ent medicine, no secret is mace of their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments. nure aseptic pepsin the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth. nydrastis and nuX. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense nlan of digesting the food eaten thor oughly before 1t has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of their success.
 Cathartic pills never nave anu never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely on the bowels. whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is all there is to it. Food not digested or half digest ed is poison as it creates gas, acidity, headaches. palpitation of the heart. loss of flesh and appetite and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
 They are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package.
