SLOWLY STARVING
Surrounded by Plenty, but Dying
for Food.
An Everyday Occurrence. - Our Friends
Perishing Before Our Eyes.

An Everyday Occurrence. = Our Friends
Perishing Before Our Eyes.
A terrible experience for any one to go
through, that of seeing some beloved
friend actually wasting away before our
eyes, unable to derive sufficient nourish-
ment from their food to sustain life.
Medicine naturally becomes of little
avail, and the various organs of the body,
debilitated from lack of nourishment,
take on themselves the disease that was
originally the cause of the breakdown"
and help hasten the end.
Such cases, though too prevalent, are
happily becoming less frequent. The
prominent physicians of to-day do things
differently from those of twenty years
ago. They first put the patient in con-
dition to stand the "siege," then enrich
his blood, create for him new strength,
and "build him up" generally. The
patient is then in a condition to derive
benefit from his medicine.
This is done by the use of Bovinine,
the original raw food. 1t is an extract
that contains the greatest amount of the
life-sustaining and tissue-building proper
ties OF lean, raw meat, concentrated in
the least possible bulk.
The advantage of this is obvious. A
patient already greatly weakened by dis
ease, needs to husband every particle of
strength. A few drops of Bovinine will
impart as much nourishment to the body
as would be derived by well person
from an ordinary meal: and, in getting
this nourishment, the stomach has been
forced to do the least possible amount of
work.
Bovinine, continued throughout an i'll
ness, greatly hastens recovery Taken
at the beginning of a wasting disease, it
diverts the cause of the trouble by toning
up the various organs, and getting them
in a normal condition.
Bovinne is indorsed by $1,000 doctors.
Its action is always beneficial, as a single
trial will convince the most sceptical.

WORK DONE 81 YOUNG THIEVES
Stole Feed, Bags from Number Of Barns.
Special Christmas Exercises Conducted
: at the Jackson Street Baptist
Church Other News Of the Day.


For some time past young thieves
have been at work on the West Side
stealing feed bags and other articles
from different barns. Davies & Davies,
the butchers, on North Lincoln avenue,
captured two youths a few days ago
while in the act of stealing several
bags, but let them off with a reprl-
mand. Thomas f. Mullen. of North
Sumner avenue, had eight bags taken.
Some boys entered the barn of Il. J..
Davies on South Main avenue and took
about forty bags, and William Griffiths.
of North Sumner avenue, had thirty
bags and tie strap stolen. All efforts
to capture the young marauders have
been in vain. The object of the boys
visits was to procure Christmas money
as the bags can be sold for the sum of
8 cents each to any feed dealer.

AN ODD PLIGHT SURELY.
Otis Reynolds Said to BE Insane but Ills
Nephew Could Find No Place to Have
Him Restrained.


Otis Reynolds, Of Dalton, was brought
to this city yesterday afternoon by his
nephew, Oscar Reynolds, who alleges
that Otis Is insane. As a proof Of this he
declares that his uncle Christmas eve
threatened to kill his (Oscars) mother
with desperate looking knife he was
armed with.
As soon as Otis stepped on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western sta
tion platform he began to turn cart
wheels. After tiring of that pastime he
went to the Carpenter house to get ma
terial for other cart wheels and his
nephew, Oscar, went in search of a war
rant to have Uncle Otis arrested on a
charge of threatening to kill
The warrant was procured and at >
o'clock last evening young Reynolds
rushed into police headquarters and
asked for an officer to arrest his uncle.
Captain Edwards, who was on duty, re-
fused to have anything to do with the
insane man or assign anyone to arrest
him.
Said lie Was Dangerous.
"But he is dangerous and we are
afraid of him. | only want him locked
up until tomorrow, when steps will be
taken to have him sent to Danvlle," D."
protested Reynolds.
we have no right to receive that
man." replied Captain Edwards, "and
you did wrong to bring him here. We
have more than we can do to attend TO
the vicious and insane Of this city with
out extending our jurisdiction to Dal-
ton. It's an old trick for people to
bring insane people here and then
leave them on our hands for q week"
That was Knockout blow for Reyn-
olds and he wanted to know if he could
take his uncle to THE county Jail for the
night.
well, I guess not" answered the
captain. you don't suppose they are
taking insane men up there"
There was nothing for Reynolds to do
but to take his uncle home again and
run the risk of some one being injured
and with rueful countenance he left
police headquarters to accept the only
alternative left him.
Thought lie Would BE Killed.
Oscar Reynolds was stricken with in
sanity about five years ago, it is al
legged, in consequence of trouble with
his wife, who deserted him. He was
confined in Danville asylum for time,
but recovered and was released.
About week ago, his nephew saws.
