A Double Murder.

CHICAGO, April 3.-A scandal was oc-
casioned on the North Side some time ago
By the attention paid to Mrs. Henry
Gelderman by DIR. Henry Meyer. the i'm
propriety of his addresses arising from the
fact that Mrs. Meyer and Mr.. Gelderman
had shortly before died under circumstan-
ces which. taken in connection with the
subsequent conduct of the surviving ones,
were deemed suspicious. The bodies of
the two deceased were therefore exhumed,
and after careful analysis just completed
large quantities of strychnine were found
in the system of Mr. Gelderman, and the
stomach of Mrs. Meyer was found to be
impregnated with the deadly colchicine.
The coroner's jury to-day, after hearing
the testimony of the chemists, found a
verdict recommending that DR.. Meyer and
Mrs. GeIderman be held for murder.

Every moment OF delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends Oh the judicious
choice of q remedy. The amount Of testimony in
favor o! DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Sy up, as cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all hat can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates of many persons of the highest
responsibility, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurabe by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Schenck's PulmoniC Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment Of two other remedies which Dr.Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional rene
dies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. By the timely use of these medicines, ac-
cording to directions, Dr. schenck certiAes that
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
