Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman We would by
no means recommend any kind of medi-
cine which we did not know to be good
particularly for infants. But of Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup we can speak FROM
knowledge; in our own family it has prov
ed blessing indeed, by giving an infant
troubled with collie pains, quiet sleep, and
the parents unkroken rest at night. Most
parents can appreciate these blessings.
Here is an article which works to Perfec-
ton, and which is harmless; for the sleep
which it affords the infant is perfectly natu-
raj, and the little chelub awakes as bright
as button" And during the process of
teething, its value is incalculable. We
have frequently heard mothers say that
they would not be without i; from the birth
of the child till it had finished with the
teething siege, on any consideration what
ever. Sold by all druggists. IS cents

Poisoning.

A supposed case of cold
blooded wife murder by pois-
oning has just come to light. 1t
seems that some time last March
in the county, the wife OF a man
died suddenly. She went to bed
well at night, about one o'clock
the husband got up and made
his wife take a tablespoon of
some kind of medicine, shortly
afterward he administered a.
teaspoonfnl more to her. In
the morning she was a corpse.
Neighbors were summoned, the
body was laid out and in due
time buried. Subsequent de-
velopments lead to the suspi-
cion that there had been foul
play. Shortly after the death
another mans wife ran away
with the bereaved husband
going to another county. He
mistreated and abused her, she
left him and now she tells how
it came about that the wife died
so suddenly. The corpse will
be disinterred and an analysis
viii be made with a view to as
certaining if poison was the
cause of death. If mineral pois-
en- was administered its presence
can be discovered. The Off
GERS are.now on the track of the
man, hence his name and the
neighborhood of his residence
are withheld.

Fees of Doctors.

The fee of doctors is an item
that very many persons are in

believe the schedule for visits is
So, which would tax man con-
fined to his bed for a year, and
in need of daily visits, over
$1,000 year for medical atten-
danca alone ! And one single
bottle of Hop Bitters taken in
time would save the $1,000 and
