condition. X,
The cure for this common and obstinate trou-
BILE IS found In treatment which causes the
food to be readily, thoroughly digested before
1t has time to ferment and irrltate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a
prompt and healthy digestion is the one ueces-
sary thing to do. and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DIR. Harlanson, the safest and
best treatment is to use after each meal a tab
let, composed of Diastase. Aseptic Pepsin, .
little Nux. Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug stores
under the name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
and not being q patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion viii follow their
regular use after. meals.
Mr.. r.. S. Workman. Chicago, H.. writes:
"Catarrh is local condition resulting from .
neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane Of the nose becomes infamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrOm, passing back
ward into the throat, reaches the stomach. thus
producing catarrh Of the stomach. Medical au-

History Of Christian Relics.

The relics Of Jesus were brought to
Constantinople from Jerusalem in the
year 325 by the Empress Helena. mother
OF Constantine the Great. She made q
pilarimage to Jerusalem In that year, re-
covered the cross and the crown OF thorns,
and collected many relics OF the Savior.
including practically everything that
could possibly have been associated with
Him.
She erected the Church Of the Holy
Sepulchre at Jerusalem and the Church
of the Nativity over the stable In which
He was born at Bethlehem.
These relics were preserved In Constan-
tinople until the fall Of the Byzantine
empire and the occupation Of that city
by the Turks. The latter permitted the
priests and monks in charge OF them to
carry them away.
Most Of them were taken to Paris.
where Louis the Great had erected on the
Seine that beautiful church known as La
ChapeIle for their preservation. They
have since become scattered among the
churches of Europe.
The only Christian relics remaining in
Constantinople are what Is claimed to be
the manager In which Jesus was born and
a basin in which He was bathed when
an infant. These were retained at St.
Sophia, where they were found by the
Mohammedans Nothing will induce them
to give them up.

Relics Of Charlemagne.

According to tradition. this copy of the
Scriptures was found upon the knees OF
Charlemagne when his tomb at Aix-la-
Chapelle was opened by the Emperor
Otto. The text is perfectly legible and is
written upon leaves Of violet parchment.
The sword of CharlemaGne, his crown
and scepter and other articles said to
have belonged to him are In an adjoining
case.
The top Of the scepter is shaped liked
pine cone and pierced with holes. 1t
was evidently intended to inclose a
sponge saturated with holy water.
This sword is carried before the EN-
peror upon his coronation as 'signum
potantiae ct majestatis," and is now
borne in front of him by the grand mar
shall Of the court at the opening OF the
reichsrath and the Hungarian parliament
The crown Of Charlemagne is one Of
the most beautiful examples of the gold
smiths art in existence, and is set with
innumerable precious stones Of great val
ue, nearly all Of them uncut. 1t is also
ornamented with quaint scriptural de-
signs in colored enamel, representing the
Almighty as He will appear on the day
of Judgment: the visit of the Prophet
Isaiah to King Hezekiah, King David, the

In the interval between the great
battles of Seven Pines. and the Seven
Days battles throughout the army a
great epidemic OF malignant typhoid
fever prevailed, with appalling NOR
tally. 1t was engrafted upon general
prevalence of malaria and scurvy. and
such Il combination was necessarily
attended by fearful death rate. es-
pecially among troops even then lack
Ing sufficient and wholesome food and
without tents or bedding.
OF the actual number OF deaths there
exists no authentic or official records
but there We're many evidences OF tho
extreme malignancy. Perhaps no other
person had a better opportunity than
the writer to know the facts. He was
