A Rreach of Promise Case.

In noted breach of promise case
recently, the Judge decided in favor of
the defendant he having proven that
the plaintiff had very offensive breath
caused by Catarrh, and that while he
offered to purchase Our" Vegetable
Catarrh Cure for her, she persisted in
using some other remedy, although
she constantly grew worse. Finally,
being unable to bear it any longer, he
Cancelled the engagement, and notwith-
standing the fact that plaintiff proved
that since their two hearts had discon-
tinued to beat as one, she had, by using
above named preparation, been entire
| ly cured, the court while commencing
her final sensible action, decided
against her on the grounds, that any
one troubled with such a disgusting
and annoying disease who would not
accept the offer defendant proved to
have made was not entitled to any
damages. Let others take warning
and profit by this unfortunate young
llady's experience. "Our" Vegetable
Cure for Catarrh, is smoked in pipe
