on the spot in your pocket.
Dr.. Cascaret guarantees to cure the
most obstinate cases of Constipation and
Indigestion, without discomfort or incon-
venience.
His medicine does not grippe nor purge.
but exercises naturally the muscles that
line the walls Of the lntestines and Bowels.
Want Of Exercise weakens and relaxes
the Bowel Muscles, just as it weakens
Arm and Leg muscles.
Old Dr.. Cascaret goes directly after
these Bowel-Muscles. He wakes them up
just as cold bath would wake up lazy
person. :
Then he works them Through the
nerves. till they get so strong from that
Exercise that they don't need any more
help TO do their duty.
Heavy dinners, late suppers, whiskey,
wine or beer drinking. nervous excitem mt,
sudden exposure TO cold or heat and dozen
other everyday likelihoods tire the Bowel
Muscles.
In such cases a little Cascaret in time
is worth fifty dollars worth Of Treatment

discomfort, loss Of Business Energy, and
loss of Social Sunshine it saves.

Gounod's Old Guitar.

st. Cloud is about to do honor to the
memory of Gounod, says the London
Globe. The illustrious composer at
one time lived there, and for years in
habited a pretty villa at M%ontretout,
where he composed the greater num-
Der of his masterpieces.
During the Franco-Prussian war the
German soldiers sacked the property
and burned down the house. Every
thing was destroyed with the excep-
ton of a guitar, which to-day is to be
seen In the Opera museum. This
guitar is precious to admirers of
Faust and "Mireille'' for more than
one reason, for it is said that its
chords %resounded to the composers
first musical conceptions. 1t bears in
the center, written by the masters
hand. the words: "Nemi aprile, 1862"
1t is 10Y proposed to erect a monu-
ment to Gounod, which will be sur
mounted by a bronze reproduction Of
j. B. Carpeaux's bust of the great mu-
sician. The inauguration of the mon
ument is expected to take place the
coming spring.
