Verdict Of Aequittal In the Boyd Case
Not Unexpected.
In the Boyd murder case last week much
sensational evidence was brought out
that tended to excite and retain interest
to the end. The morbid curiosity Of hum
dreds Of spectators was Rratiied by rich
morseis Of hideous testimony that reflected
most seriously on the memory Of the dead
But II will be remembered that the acts o
cruelty on the part Of the slain husband
were committed when he was under the
influence Of intoxicating beverage. to
which he was fondly addicted. One Of the
lawyers in the court room tritely remarked.
Had poor Tom only have taken a course
Of treatment ct the German Remedy In
stitute much suffering would have been
averted and life saved. Although only .
moderate drinker at times Boyd could not
shake of the habit Of occasional in
dulgence that could easily have been per-
manently cured by short course 1t the
institute"
The verdi ct Of acquittal by the jury was
not unexpected by those who have been
following the testimony. They hope that
the lesson will not be lost on the living.
Life 10 precious aud every care should be
exerted TO preserve it. Good health is
also essential to happiness and the enjoy
ment Of the blessings and pleasures Of this
world. A glance at many Of the specta-
tors who were in attendance at the trial
suggested the remark by an observant
official that many gave evidence of being
victims Of the morphine. opium. tobacco
or liquor habit. He added. II believe that
most OF those. a. well as hundreds Of
others in Seattle. would be willing to alb
stain from the use of these dangerous
drugs if they could once shake off the fet-
tiers that hold them in q death.like clasp"

have undergone . three weeks course Of
treatment at the institute. and can safely
say that l am now entirely cured. All
tastes or desires for intoxicants of any

treatment, when taken according to the
directions OF the attending physician, will
effect cure in every case.
