day, and then showed that il the theory
is correct the murdered or missing
woman was but 40 inches in height. At
tcrney Vincent had planned the effect
with great care, and although the
state ridicules the proposition the
bold, fiat statement created no little
furry in the courtroom. This dis
tinctiyely new point in the threadbare
tale of the bone juggling was brought
out in the examination OF DR.. Samuel G.
Plummer, an expert anatomist. He de-
clared with great confidence that il the
states exhibit No 10 is really human
and the femur OF Mrs. Luetgert, the
woman was but 40 inches in height
three feet AID four inches DR.. Plum
mer had previously stated as a scientific
fact that the human femur is always
one-fourth as long as the whole body.
Such noted authorities as Gray and
Quaine supported the statement. The
alleged femur offered in evidence by
the state was at the most ten inches
long.

and diphtheria, and this report which has
been so widely spread abroad will hurt
our town in many ways. AS far as diph-
liberia is concerned there have been two
cases here and not % as the Manchester
Union claims. In typhoid fever there
has only been one fatal case out of the
IL reported to the health officer. In
reply to inquiries the health officer made
the following report to Prof. Comstock
ST. JoHNsBURY, Sept. II, 1897.
PROF. ID. Y. CoMsTocK I'm reply to
your question will say that there have
been reported to me this summer IL
cases OF typhoid fever. Of these, one
died, eight have recovered. and three are
still sick. None of the cases have been
severe except the one which proved fatal,
and in many of them there is some ques-
ton as to diagnosis, even with the ply
sicians reporting them.
Yours truly,

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases
put together. and until the past few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
