HOW TO CURE YOURSELF WHILE
USING IT

HOW TO CURE YOURSELF WHILE
USING IT.
The tobacco habit grows on a man I'M
til his nervous system is seriously affected
impairing health, comfort and happiness
To quit suddenly Is too severe shock to
the system, as tobacco to an inyeterlte
user becomes a stimulant that his system
continually Graves. "Baco-Curo" is a sci
entitic cure for the tobabco habit, in all its
forms, carefully cum bundled after the
formula of an eminen, Berlin physician
who has used it in his private practice
since 1872, without a failure. 1t is purely
vegetable and guaranteed perfectly harm
less. You can take all the tobacco you
want while taking "Baco-Curo." 1t will
uotify you when to stop. We give writ
ten guarantee to cure permanently any
case with three boxes, or refund the money
with 10 per cent. interest. "Baco-Curo"
is not substitute, but scientific cure,
that cures without the aid of will power
and with no Inconvenience. 1t leaves the
system as pure and free from nicotine as
the day you took your first chew or smoke.

The Circuit Court.

The regular intermediate or non-iury
term of the Ciacut Court began on Mon
day last. The Court was convened
with his Honor, Judge Merrick
on the Bench, who presided with great
dignity and grace. The Dockets were
called and judgments in un contested cases
entered.
Mr.. ]. Enos Ray. Jr., was, on motion
of James C. Rogers, Esq. admitted to
the Bar, having passed an examination
before the Examining Committee, con-
ssting of Judge Chew, Mcssrs. G. G. Ma
gruder and Richard E. Brandt. On Tues
day, Mr. Henry F. Woodard of thew ash
ington Bar was also admitted to practice
here The Court on Tuesday heard the
petition for mandamus i'll the case of the
Washington Brewing Company VS.. Thorn
as NJ. Underwood, Sheriff. Messrs. James
C. Rogers and Henry F. Woodland repre-
scented the Company and MIR. Contee, the
Sheriff. This was the first case where
mandamus proceeding of this kind in this
State was instituted against Sheriff and
turned upon the question whether the Sher-
if had right to require a bond of indem-
nifty from the execution plaintiff in the case
of landlord and tenant proceeding in
which a writ of restitution had been direc-
ted to the Sheriff. The Court allowed the
writ prayed by the Washington Brewing
Co which compels the Sheriff to disposscss
the defendant, George W. Stegmaier.
Richard Chase, colored, who had been
committed to the House of Correction for
maliciously destroying property, was
brought before Judge Merrick on We'd
nesday under a writ of Habeas Corpus.
The Court decided that as the commit
ment simply stated that the party was
charged with the offence, and did not
show that he had been tried and convict
ed he could not legally be held, and con-
sequently ordered his release. States

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, AMI that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inilamcd condition of the
mucous lining of TIL" Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets intlamed you have Il
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrhj
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
