THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken. That the reputation of and
demand for such remedies as these are, should
extend and increase, could not bs otherwise.
THERE is NO PAIN, soreness or swelling
which they will not alleviate. There are bat
exceptional cases of constitutional humors and
distorted joints, which they do not cure, aud
none they will not benefit. They are SOOTH-
ING, absorbing aud emollient. They Elk.

scalds without scars. For RHEUMAEI AT

A TRAGEDY.
The Victim Of which is Murdered on
the Threshold of Life by its Moth
eF, a Girl Of Only Seventeen
Years-TestImony of
her Parents.

BALTIMORE, April 13.-A shocking tragedy
occurred in Baltimore county on Sunday even
ing. Miss Fannie Laura Pons, aged seven
teen, residing with her parents at their place,
called The Promised Land, gave birth to a
female infant, and, as seems from the evil
dence and also from her own confession,
killed it Immediately afterward by cutting its
throat with small two bladed knife. JUS
tlce Gallagher held an inquest day. DIR.
Prentlss testified that he was called upon by
John Pons, the father of the girl, and visited
the house between eight and nine o'clock
Sunday evening; that upon reaching
the girls bedside he found that the
child was born, and he was pointed
to bundle that lay upon the floor by the pa
rents, and ,1npon examination, found it was
the baby, with its throat cut. He went to
the bedside of the girl and asked her how
she had done it, and she answered, with a
knife" Witness got the knife out of her
trunk by her directions. The clothing in the
top of the trunk was saturated with blood.
The child was born alive The father of the
girl, John Pons, testified that he knew
nothing of his daughter being enceinte until
after the child was born, but suspected it
when he went after the doctor. His daugh-
ter was unmarried. Mrs. Olivia Pons, the
mother of the girl, testified that about half
an hour after her husband went for the doc
tor she went up stairs to her daughters room
and found her sitting on the floor. Mrs.
Pons then left the room, and did not
know the child was born. Went up again
and saw the marks on the floor. She never
suspected her child of being enceiilte. The
girl told the witness that the name of the
father or her child was VIM. Lewis, of Bal
tmore city. The jury found verdict that
1.-THE child came to her death by the infiiction
of wounds upon the throat and breast with
knife IN the hands of her mother, Fannie
Laura Pons." The family of the unfortunate
girl are very respectable people, and the af-
fair has created great excitement in the
county. Miss Pons' condition did not admit
of her being removed, and she has not yet
been arrested. She will be guarded by an
officer until she can be taken to the county
iail for trial.

not die of nanltion or other cause; that 1t is
altogether conceivable or even probable that
it should pass unframed, though Temporal
rily harmless, through the severest winter or
the completest refrigeration in a quarantine
ship, to become tiny but mighty engine OF
death, with the return of spring or transpor-
tation to more genial habitat. Really this
discovery seems to knock the last prop out
from under modern science and medicine IN
its battle with the insidious plague, and leave
it cropping among the thick mists OF pure en-
piricism. Frost was considered the only cure
for yellow-fever, and now it is discovered
that frost will not cure it. But if the medl-
cal forces are paralyzed, clearer field Is left
for Governmental and municipal action. 1t
yellow-fever cannot be cured, it must be pre-
vented. Those who disagree as to whether
the germs are indigenous or imported can
unite their forces to fight both sources of
danger, to close both doors to the foe. If
yeIlow-fever is imported, it can be excluded
by quarantine. If it is indigenous, it is born
from sanitary neglect, from filthy streets,
open sewers, city cemeteries, foul houses and
open cess pools. With perfect quarantine
and clean city, the plague may be defed.
Philadelphia, New York and Boston suffered
from it till they civilized and cleaned up"
