circus in 1869 and performed at the Alham-
bra. He married Emma McGregor, and IN
1879 child was born to them.
"Did you have any other child by herY'

Otto tum SUDDEN objected on the special
ground that the question involves an ulti,

hack. He was not able to work for years.
The cause of his illness was blow in the
breast, struck by Charles Reyn0d. On ac-
count of this blow his breast-bone and
three ribs were taken out Following TINS
operation Hervie was very weak, and was
compelled to lie on his back for years. de

Hervie said that he knew that Captain
Mcdonald overcame his " ife in 1873, while
he (Hervie) was i'll. She submitted on ac-
count of his necessities. The witness never

How to Make This Apparent Happiness
Real.
"Yes," said an eminent physician recently, Z" do

the suffering and sickness which exists among
women might and should be avoided
How? Listen and 1 will tell you. Pains and
weakness and the little cares, which no man other
than physician suspects, frequently combine to
make women more less miserable. Yet they come
seeming happiness infnity OF mental and
physical torture This is all wrong. Woman
was born to brightness and happiness; she needs
strength to resist her many trials. Her body. her
mind and all her faculties and functions must be
put into a healthy condition or she cannot secure
strength and where nature fails she must be
sisted. Here is where stimulants prove valuable.
"Yes, mean spirits but not the spirits OF the
saloons; ana while 1 recommend whisky the best
and most useful OF spirits, am always most careful
to impress upon my patients the necessity OF obtain
Ing 1t absolutely pure, as impure whisky is worst
than useless" 1t has been agreed by the leading
scientists and physicians of the day that Duffy's
Pure Malt Whisky is absolutely pure. The proper
