CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effectual Cure for It. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs, and difficult breathing; headaches, fickle appetite, nervousness, and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and, if the interior of the stomach could be seen, it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlandson, the safest and best treatment is to use, after each meal, a tablet composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a 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 a patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill., writes: “Catarrh is a local condition, resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure; but to day am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I can not find appropriate words to express my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite, and sound rest from their use. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn, and bloating after meals.

Anecdotes 66 In a recent lecture Mr. Zangwill told the following story: At one of our seaside resorts-Ramsgate or some other similar place-I was lying on my back on the sands, when I overheard some Jews Oh,' said discussing me and my work. one, I don't think he's so very clever. He's a Jew and knows all about Jews. No wonder he can write novels about Jews. There's Besant now. He's written a book about Jews. He doesn't know anyThat's what I call thing about them. clever!' When the corporation of Yale college were considering the question of a president some twelve years ago, Dr. Timothy Dwight, who was then a professor in the Yale divinity school, in speaking of the suggestion of his own name for the position, said to his class that he had in mind two texts to apply to the result. In case the choice fell on some other man than himself, then he would say with Paul in Hebrews xiii: 23, Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty." Should he be selected, then he would try to carry out the injunction in I Timothy iv: 12, "Let no man despise thy youth."Springfield Republican. 66 The empress of Germany loses no opportunity of doing little kindnesses wherever she goes. A very pretty story is told of her recent visit to Westphalia during the maneuvers. In a village close to the imperial headquarters the widow of a captain in the merchant service occupies a small room. She is invalided, bedridden, and very old, but her one great wish was to see the empress drive past the carpenter's cottage where she lies on her little bed. Some kind soul had suggested to the empress's chamberlain that it would be a great kindness if the imperial carriage would be allowed to drive slowly when passing the invalid's window. The request came to the empress's ears, and in her kindness of heart she left her carriage, paid a long visit to the sick-room, and left the lonely sufferer in a state of happiness greater than words can tell.-Westminster Gazette.

LAVILLE'S LIQUOR and PILLS RHEUMATISM If Mr. Joseph Chamberlain has not always been precisely kind in his expressed opinions of America and Americans there is an excuse to be found for him in a story of his former visit here, which, supposing it to be but a sample, should prove more than sufficient. While taking a chop and a glass of ale in a Washington restaurant one afternoon he was recognized by a particularly obnoxious man-about-town, who, quite uninvited, promptly took the vacant seat at the parliamentarian's table and was soon telling Mr. Chamberlain just what a third-rate country England was anyhow. At first the listener was surprised, then he was amused, and, adjusting his monocle, heard him out. Now, we'll take the matter of great men, for instance," said the intruder. "What can England show in the matter of great men, nowadays, anyhow? England has got Gladstone, of course, but he's a back number. I'll just ask you, Mr. Chamberlain, a fair question: What really great man, what noted character, has England produced, say, within the past fifty years? Answer me that, sir!" With pleasure," The Ideal Sight Restorer. 66 66 said Chamberlain, permitting his monocle to fall into his lap and taking his hat and cane from the rack. Great man, me.

A man who is in the professional or business world of to-day and does not read THE COSMOPOLITAN is apt to miss something, during the course of the year, that is worth a great many times the subscription price. Whether in the law or in merchandising, in the church or in teaching, in banking or in railroading, he should bear in mind that THE COSMOPOLITAN is trying to secure for him an article on some one subject that, even in a business way, it is absolutely essential for him to know about. If he will glance over THE COSMOPOLITAN'S pages for one year he will find some one thing that will many times repay the outlay and the trouble. THE COSMOPOLITAN is edited with this special object always in view. This, of course, is only a small part of the Magazine, which also aims to interest every member of the family circle. An analysis of its contents for December will show how truly it deserves its name of Cosmopolitan and how wide its range of interest. THE COSMOPOLITAN, Irvington-on-the-Hudson, New York. A Femi-Monthly Journal of Literary Criticism, Discussion, and Information The Dial is the best and ablest literary paper in the country." "A journal of literary criticism, sober, conscientious, and scholarly; from every point of view unsurpassed by any other literary journal in America or England." -SIR WALTER BESANT. "The Dial's look and bearing are refinement itself. Seriousness, fearless care, and a right instinct in letters, help to make it the best review we have." -The Independent, New York. "The Dial is the best publication of its kind in this country." -JOHN BURROUGHS. The distinctiveness of THE DIAL is in its singleness of aim. Its concern, first and foremost, is with literature-current literature, the literature of the day; the best that is thought and said in American and English books; and to this it adds literary questions and literary affairs in general. This is its field, which it cultivates with a thoroughness and comprehensiveness beyond that of any other American journal. It has been doing this work for nearly nineteen years, under the same management and with the same general aim, by which it is still controlled. Its reviews express the independent and untrammeled opinions of the ablest scholars and writers in the country, including, in one class, Presidents or Professors of over thirty American colleges and universities, from Yale and Harvard on the Atlantic Coast to Stanford and the University of California on the Pacific. It must be considered as indispensable to every person who really has an interest in literary affairs, who would keep in touch with literary events and within the current of the best literary influences, and who recognises and cares for the qualities of independence, ability, fairness, and honesty in literary criticism and the treatment of literary affairs.
