A Singular Case.

Yesterday morning about 100 o'clock,
officers Frank and Warren were returning
home from their duties of the night, and
when near the corner of Prebie and Congress
street they were informed that there was
woman on Preble street who needed attention.
Az Officer Warren turned the corner of Preble
street he was confronted by a woman appar-
emily insane. She was taken to the station by
the two officers after much difficulty and
physician was summoned who pronounced it
case of temporary insanity. When it was
learned that her name was Mrs. Robert I.
Roper, whose residence is at No. 1046 Con-
gress street, Officers Warren and Eaton took
the woman to her home in carriage; but
much to their surprise they were met at the
door By her husband, a ses-faring man, who
appeared to De raving crazy. Later both hus-
band and wife were carried to the Greeley
Hospital.

Rheumatism

We doubt if there is. or can be, a specific
remedy for rheumatism; but thousands who
have suffered its pains have been greatly ben
Gifted by Hoods Sarsaparilla. If you have
failed to find relief, try this great remedy.
"I was afflicted with rheumatism twenty
years. Previous to 1883 found no relief, but
grew worse, and at one time was almost help
less. Hoods Sarsaparilla did me more good
than all the other medicine / ever had"
Fl. T. BALLOON, Shirley Village, Mass.
"Ihad rheumatism three years, and got no
relief till took Hood Sarsaparilla. It has
done great things for Iae. recommend it to
Others" LEWIS BURBANK, Biddeford, Me.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is characterized by
three peculiarities 1st, the combination of
remedial agents; I'd, the proportion; Sd, the
process of securing the active medicinal
qualities. The result is a medicine of unusual
strength, effecting cures hitherto unknown.
Send for book containing additional evidence.
Hoods Sarsaparilla tones up my system,
purlnes my blood, sharpens my appetite, and
seems to make me over" j. p. THOMSON,
register OF Deeds, Lowell, Mass.
"Hood's Sarsaparilla beats all others, and
is worth its weight in gold" I. HARRINGTON,
100 Bank Street, New York City.
