What happened to this physician may have hap
pened TO others, and DUNDAS DICK 4 co. take
this method OF protecting physicians, druggists and
themselves, and preventing on OF SANpAL wooD
from coming into dsrepute.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the capsules
will continue TO do SO, for they contain the pul
OH In the best and cheapest form
DUNDAS DICK & CO. use more OIL OF SAN
DALwooD In the manufacture OF Capsules than mi
the Wholesale and Retail Druggists and Periumers
In the United States combined, and this Ia the sole
reason why the pure oil is sold cheaper In their
Capsules than In any other form.
OIL OF SANDALWOoD is fast superseding
every other remedy, sixty Capsules only being
quired to insure safe and certain eight
days. From NO other medicine this result be had.

THE COURrs

CRIMINAL COURT, Judge Mac Arthur.
To-day, John j. Keifer, carrying on a bar
room without license, was found guilty. The
counsel for defendant, Mr.. Hine, raised the
point that under former conviction the license
tax for the current license year had been inn
posed and paid, and therefore it could not be
imposed again. The court stated that where
satisfactory evidence appeared that parties who
have been convicted of selling liquor have
ceased TO sell, would influence the court to
reduce the fine. Peter Durnin, charged with
carrying on a bar-room without license, was
found not guilty-Cahill for defence. Moses
Briscoe, larceny; nolle pros.
