SECOND SHOCK

ing Sword. St. Paul put in at SYRIA
cuse on his way to Europe.
OF course, you have read Cicero's
Grafton against Verres. That rascal
was the protector of our. Abe Rueffs
and Bath House Johns, and of Eng.
lands Warren Hastings.
Verre was grating in Sicily, and
Cicero prosecuted him in Roman High
Court.
If the Semitic races lost foothold
in Sicily before the coming of Christ.
they made a second grand effort TO
secure it when the Roman empire be.
gan to fall of its own rottenness.
Saracens crowded into the island
when their brothers invaded Spain.
They were fought back by the armies
of the emperors of the Roman emnire
of the East, but they held on two hum
dred years.
The Normans moved into Sicily
when William invaded England and
under the Norman rulers all religions.
all races and all things were toler-
ated.
The Sicilian, then. is more GreeI,
than Roman, and has in him a dash
of the Saracenic, along with a blend
of Norman blood.
In the island are the ruins of dead
nations, the traces of dead religions
and the monuments of dead civiliza.

Sicily more near absolute preservation
than any edifice in Athens. There are
remains of Roman theatres that are
as they were 1000 years ago. having
the rent torn in the stone seats by
earthquakes.
Among the people there are customs
that come down from the ceremonies
of Carthage such as the strong hand
of Fleubert draws in colors of fire. In
their language you will find the soft
memories of the Attic speech with
the broader croy of the Bedouin.

Dyspepsia cannot be cured by ia
king a digester. such as pepsin. be,
cause pepsin simply digests your
food artificially, and not all of that
either for it has no effect at all on
starchy food, such as potatoes. rice,
oatmeal, bread etc.
There is just one way to cure dys-
pepsia and stomach disorders. trivial
or serious, and that is to tone up or
put energy into the stomach walls 50

or churn the food.
Mi-o-na tablets cure stomach
troubles by putting strength and en-
ersy into the stomach. They quickly
arouse the stomach from its inaction.
and in short time it is able to do its
work properly.
Mona is successfully used in vor,-
iting of pregnancy, in car and sea
