Unlimited Remedial Resources.

People sometimes suppose that Dr. Pierce's Fami-
ly Medicines represent the entire extent of his
sources for curing disease This is an error. Expe-
rience proved that while the Golden Medical Dscov-
cry Favorite Prescription, Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets, Compound Extract of Smart-Weed, and DIR.
Sages Catarrh Remedy, would, if faithfully used,
cure large variety of chronic complaints, there
would be here and there which, from its sever
ity, or from its complication with other disorders,
would resist their action These exceptional cases
required thorough examination into their symp-
TOMS to ascertain the exact nature and extent of the
ing, and the use of specific remedies to meet and
overcome the same This led to the establishment of
the Worlds Dspensary at Buffalo, N. Y, with its
Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons each of whom is
skilled in the treatment of chronic disorders in gen.
era and those belonging to his own special depart
ment in particular. To is assigned diseases of
the throat and lungs; to another diseases of the kid
neys and urogenita organs to another, diseases of
the digestive SYSTEM to another diseases of the
vous SYSTEM and to another diseases of the eve and
ear. Thus the highest degree of perfection in med-
cine and surgery is attained. The establishment Of
this institution enables the Doctor to meet long
felt want in the treatment of the severe chronic
affections. By careful consideration of fhe symp-
toms given in writing he successfully treats thou
sands of cases at their homes. Others visit the Dis
pensary in person. The amplest resources for the
treatment of lingering affections thus placed at
the disposal of every patient, and those on whom
the proprietary medicines do not have the desired ef
feet can procure thorou gh and efficient course
by personal application to the proprietor of the
Worlds Dispensary.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April lon Thursday
morning last the store of Hirsches Brothers, at
Somerville, Tenn, was broken open by ffteen
disguised men, who after beating the Hirsches,
tied ropes around their necks and dragged
them through the streets, finally releasing
them with the threat that should they remain
there anothdr night they would be killed.
When the brothers returned to the store they
found they had been robbed of $500. The cit
liens of Somerville, on hearing of the outrage,
organized a committee to protect the Hirsches
and to ferrit out the parties engaged in the
outrage.

away but still holding the revolver, he ran
down the road, the blood flowing from his
wounds in streams. Opposite the house he
met his aunt, who had just returned. and she
led him into the house where he remained un-
til the doctor arrived.
According to the aunt's story Pages first
words when he met her were, "My God what
have 1 done? have killed my wife," The
revolver when taken from him had six barrels
discharged. AS no reports were heard it is be-
lieved all the shots were fired inside of the
house.
Coroner Libbey of Augusta held an inquest
on the body of Mrs Page yesterday afternoon,
and the jury returned verdict that Arletta
Page came to her death by ball from pistol
in the hands of Isaac L. Page. The funeral of
Mrs. Page will be held Monday at p. m. The
murderer is in the custody OF Sheriff Libbey
and will be removed to Augusta for examina-
ton as soon as he sufficiently RECEIVERS from
his wounds. Page was able to sit up and con-
verse this Sunday noon, though still very
weak from loss of blood. He appears rational
though hardly conscious of the magnitude of
his crime. He is perfectly willing to tell all he
knows, and says he had the idea that some.
one was coming to take them away and that
he grabbed the revolver to protect his wife, and
he remembers Enothing that happened after
that until he was brought back to the house.
he asserts he never had any trouble with his
wife except when his head was not right; has
not been himself for nearly two weeks;
wouldn't hurt his wife for the world, and more
to the same effect He seems to be man of
less than ordinary intelligence and has been
jealous of his wife, staying at home to watch
her movements.
About the LIST of February he made an as
sault upon her, beating her fearfully and kick
ing her out of doors. She complained to the
selectmen of Chelsea who demonstrated with
Page and he promised better conduct in the
future. The general opinion is that Mrs. Page
has always conducted herself properly and
faithfully and that Pages vicious disposition
was the sole cause of former disputes. Pages
age is 81 and Mrs. Page was %. They had
been married ten years. Page owns small
farm, but has not paid taxes for several years
and was recently compelled to mortgage the
farm for 5000 to pay a prior mortgage which
would have been foreclosed.
