A DISEASE THAT WRECKS THE SYSTEM

Every function is deranged, every nerve un-
strung, every muscle and fiber weakened by fe-
verand ague. 1t is, in fact, disease which if
unchecked, eventually wrecks the system. In
all its types, in every phase, it is dangerous de-
strnctive Stupor, delirium. convusions, often
attend it, and cause swift dissolution. But when
combatted with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters its
foothold in the system is disodged, and every
vestige Of 1t eradicated. That benign anti-fe-
brile specific and preventive of the dreaded
scourge is recognized not only within our own
boundaries, butln tropc lands far beyond them,
where intermittents and remttents are tearfully
prevalent. to be sure antidote to the malarial
poison and reliable means OF overcoming dis
orders OF the stomach. liver and bowels, OF
which vitlated torrid atmosphere and brackish
miasma-tainted water are extremely provoca-
tive, All emigrants and travellers should be
supplied with it.

the defence had sworn the quarrel lasted half an
hour. He criticised Blair's conduct in bandying
words with coachman. and pointed out that Arm
strong had a right to be IN the barn, where he was
attacked by Blair. He laid the blame of the quarrel
wholly on Blair. who had sought 1t. and impressed
ON the jury that ON his own evidence Blair
should be convicted Of murder. He quoted the law
of New Jersey ON killing with deadly weapon a
constituting murder in the first second degree.
He denied Blar's story Of the shooting. aud Illus

AN IMPORTANT POINT
law point of considerable interest was intro
duced to show that even II Armstrong had been in
the act OF sezing revolver the time no was shot
it would not in the least lessen Blairs respon-
sibility before the law, because he had
first threatened Armstrong with deadly
weapon, aud had Armstrong shot and killed
him the law would have declared the homicide JUS
tifable. The prosecutor ridiculed the plea that
Blair acted in selt-defence. and pointed ont that the
whole trouble could have been avoided by Blair re-

defence profane and violent man, not the
slightest evidence hal been produced that he had

the defendant did not alege that the coachmnn had
tried to assault HIM during the half hours dispute
which preceded the killing. The evidence showed
clearly that the original dispute had died out when
Blair went to his house and having armed himself

Prosecutor pointed out, evil result would have
