You catch cold. Why?
 Because your system lacks nourish- ment.
 It is not strong enough to resist the changing weather. The digestion is poor. The bowels are clogged The blood flows sluggishly through the veins.
 The action of the vital organs is fee- ble.
 The system is unhealthy, And you catch cold That is why a cold is called filth dis- ease.
 Perfect health means perfect clean Illness, especially inside. Colds can be prevented by keeping the stomach right. The digestion right. The blood right.
 The health right.
 Puritana will do this and more It has healing and purifying effect on the whole mucous track. The stomach and bowels are corrected and given new vigor by Puritana. The liver and kidneys are stirred up to do their work.
 These organs are made to work right. When they work right they purify the blood.
 The dyspeptic is subject to colds. The man with a strong stomach is not hurt unless house falls on him. What do colds do? The answers are many. They introduce consumption. Also pneumonia.
 And death in many forms. At this time of year they are espe- cially liable to affect the stomach and bowels.
 That's strange.
 They start from poor digestion. They make the digestion worse. Cramps come.
 And strange stomach disorders. All are dangerous.
 All can be avoided.

w H. Bezanson Has Learned by
 Experience.
 The manager of the Chicago Beef company, w. H. Bezanson, who is lo- catcd at SS Blackstone street, Boston, is one of the best known men in the market district. He says:
 My wife has for many years been a very sick woman suffering from nu- merous troubles of the stomach. She lost her appetite entirely, had no en- ergy, was so weak and used up as to be totally unfit for exertion of any kind. She was at all times so easily ex- cited that this led to species of trem- bling, which promised serious results. I tried doctors without end, but to no effect, and we were both utterly dis couraged. Some time last spring I bought my first bottle of Puritana, and my wife used it. Achange was notices able almost from the first using of Puritana, and it alone has put her on her feet again. Puritana has done what everything else failed to do, and regard my wife's cure as very re- markable.

 MT. Williams cross examined the wit ness at length up to adjournment at o'clock but nothing particularly i'm portant was obtained. The accused manifested no hesitation in telling his story and answered all questions. Ap- parentiy the jury were favorably im- pressed by his apearance.
