NOT FIVE DOLLARS FOR DOCTOR IN
FORTY-FIVE YEARS.
|" WATsoNvIhIE, SANTA Cruz Co., CAL, |
Feb 3D. 1884


! am eighty-four years old and my wife
is seventy.seven. We have raised fam
lily of ten children, have used BRAND
RETH's PILLS for the last forty-fve years
as my only family medicine. and my doc
tors bills have not amounted to five dol
lars in all that time. have used hum
dreds of boxes of BRANDRETH's PILLS;
with them have cured my boys and girls
Of Scarlet Fever, Measles. Group, Colds,
Mumps, Diarrhoea and Constipation. /
have recommended them to hundreds of
other families, and never knew them to
fail where ever they were used for
disease of any kind. When my wife
was seventy-three years old she was
troubled with very bad Cough, and
it looked as if she would die
with Consumption. She would not cali in
doctor, but commenced taking BRAND
RETH's PILLS, two and three every night
III three weeks she was completely cured
Of her cough, and her general health is very
good. am sure that BRANDRETH's PILLS
have preserved and prolonged our lives.
My health is particularly good, and before
die / wish you to publish this letter, as I
want the world to know and profit by my
experience. R. S. DAY.

The Court Of the Liberty OF Savoy.

The manor and honor Of the Savoy
lies immediately to the west of the place
where Temple Bar formerly stood, and
extends for some distance westward
along the bank of the river, as far, I
believe, as the middle of Cecil street.
1t is divided into four wards, and has q
court-leet, which meets twice q year,
within @ month after Easter and a
month after Michaelmas. Special
courts can be held if required. The
court consists of the steward, who pre-
sides, and eight burgesses, two from
each of the four wards of the manor.
A jury for the year, consisting of six
teen, is annually elected at the court.
The steward fixes the day, and tho
bailiff summons the burgesses and the
Jury, as well rs the proper number of
residents to be sworn in as jurymen for
the year following. The jury are called
over, and absentees, if any, having been
fined, are sworn; the form of oath be-
ing the same as that which is admins
tered to a grand jury at assizes and
quarter sessions. They then make
their presentments, which are in writ
ing and are signed by the jury. These
presentnents are brought about as fol-
lows II any inhabitant thinks that a
neighbours house is unsafe, or that q
house is disorderly or the like, he COM
plains verbally or otherwise to the fore
man of the jury for the time being.
The foreman calls the jury together,
and they satisfy themselves in any way
they please as to the matter complained
of, and if the nuisance is not abated to
their satisfaction the matter is embod-
led in form of a presentment, which is
given in at the court day to the steward.
The steward inspects the presentlnent,
te see if it is in proper form and relates
to matter within the jurisdiction of
the court, and if he approves of it. and
if the jury think that the party pre-
sented ought to be fined, four of their
number are appointed affeerers, and
they 'taffeer" or settle the fine. The
finding of the jury is thus conclusive
upon the facts, although they hear no
evidence, examine no witnesses, and go
through nothing in the nature of trial.

How He Saved a Bank.

al saved bank from bursting once
myself remarked a seedy-looking old
chap, as he laid down morning paper,
which he had perused second-handed.
II admit l aim very wealthy now, but
years ago, before my troubles come on
me, had large interests in manufacture
ing and banking. [ was President of
the bank in our town when there was a
little panic and people made run. I
went in to see how they were getting
along, just as the excitement began,
when l found they couldn' stand it I'M
til the close of banking hours. The
directors wanted to suspend, but [ OBJ
iected. I told 'em to leave it to me.
Happened it was payday at my shop.
Hustled up there. put flea in the en-
gineer's ear, and4in five minutes the en-
CINE broke down. The men were glad
to get holiday. but wanted their
money. told EN- we didn't have the
currency ready, but would give 'em
checks on the bank. My clerks made
out the checks in q hurry, and weren't
over-particular about losing any time
figuring out odd cents. Well, my two
hundred and more men rushed for the
bank, and by the time the big deposit
ors had heard of the run and had got
round there was big line in front of
'em. 1t took three hours to pay off my
men with currency from my safe at the
shop, which carried in the back door
of the bank. In that three hours we
raised enough money to pay every dol
lar due our depositors, and the bank
was saved. - Chicago Herald.
