An Old Proverb.

There are many wise saws and old
proverbs which, although of homsly
character, are found useful when acted
upon. One of them tells US that
delays are dangerous, and in nothing
can this be seen more clearly than IN
the caoe of cold. To neglect it may
be to imperil your life, as there IL no
more insidious enemy than what We
sometimes call "only cough ln
all such .casrs use Red Star Cough
Cure. IL is rrompt in action, gives
permanent relief, contains no opiates
and leaves no bad effects.

the medical testimony OF j. +. Sum.
mers, NJ. D., and upon viewing the
body after its being dlsinterred, do
find the deceased was named Pedro
Elquita; was born IN Candelaria about
three weeks ago, and that he came to
his death by neglect and starvation as
shown by the emaciated appearance
when disinterrcd. We found the body
of the child buried on the TOP of
another grave, uncoffincd, without a
shred of clothing upon ii and not more
than eight inches Of dirt above it. We.
the jury, are led to this conclusion
from the fact that two similar cases of
systematic abuse aud bad treatment of

notice of the public before, and by
terniagant named Lola Webber, whose
brutal instincts are a disgrace to this
