EdCs of Boston, Mass.
"For years was sufferer from boils, SO
that my life became wearisome through their
frequent and persistent recurrence A car
buncle, which ultimately occupied space of
three or four square inches formed on the
small of my back. Daring its progress large
pieces of decomposed flesh were every day or
two cut away; and the prostration and general
disturbance OF the system were great. Before
had recovered from this attack, two smaller
carbuncles broke out higher up,and was again
threatened with recurrence of the sufferings
to which L had so long been subjected. 1t was
at this time that commenced taking the Peru
Wan Syrup. continued taking it until 1 had
used five bottles; since which time have had
nothing of the kind. L attribute this improved
state of my system entirely to the Peruvian
Syrup; and feel that cannot express my OBJ
legations to it in terms too strong. For years
was one of the greatest sufferers. Other med
icines gave me partial and temporary relief;
but this remarkable remedy, with a kind of
intuitive sense, went directly to the root of the
evil, and did its work with a thoroughness
worthy of its established character.

CHILD MURDER.
A Woman Arrested for Causing the
Death of Her ChiId-Anoiher BODY
Found but not Recognized.

Late Sunday afternoon the family of Mr..
Lucius A. Webb of Cape Elizabeth discovered
the body of child in the prvy vault. Inquiries
were made as to how it came there without
any result although suspicion rested upon a
nurse who had formerly been employed in the
family. The next day Mr.. Webb came to this
city, and notified Coroner Adams of the affair
The coroner was not able to attend to the
matter just then, but yesterday morning
accompanied by DR.. T. A. Foster, they drove
to the place and removed the body to this city.
1t was fully preserved although it had been
there since the 18th of March.D Foster and
Gerrish made post mortem examination, and
found that the child was healthy male child
at its birth.
Coroner Adams then summoned jl,y and
laid the facts of the case as far as discovered
before them. The jury met in the County
Attorneys office, and after full hearing in
which large number of witnesses were
examined returned verdict that the body was
that Of an Legitimate child of Mary M.
Mcdonald, and that it was born healthy and
natured, but came to its death by the hands Of
its mother.
Mr.. Adams suspected what the verdict would
be and made diigent search for the woman
He found her brother and representing himself
as in search Of nurse, obtained the where
abouts Of the woman. Following the informa-
ton obtained he visited house on Smith
street, where she was discovered The facts of
the inquest were related to her and she at once
confessed that the body found was that Of a
bastard child, to which she gave birth on the
18th of March at the house of Mr. Webb The
girl is from st. John, New Brunswick She
says she was engaged Co marry the father of
the child in that city, but his parents objected
on the ground that he was too poor. To hide
her shame from her friends she came here and
has been employed as nurse in several fami-
les in this city and in Cape Elizabeth
She was arrested and taken to Jail. She will
be taken before the Municipal Court this morn
ing and bound over to await the action of the
Grand Jury.
ANOTHER BODY FOUND
Yesterday afternoon children at play 10 the
rear of the old shovel factory at the foot Of
Chestnut street, discovered the body OF child
in the rubbish. They notified some one who
sent word to Marshal Bridges, who visited the
place and removed the body. 1t was very much
decomposed and must have been there some
time Coroner Gould will decide what dlspo
sition to make of it to-day

and that he had formed and expressed an
opinion about the ofense six weeks before
its commission. Here was where Spudkins
over-done himself, for upon cross-examin-

that Spudkins was IS ignorant as NADIA

the crime charged against him, and the Law
bearing on the care, and that he had never
