flesh and muscular force.

efectual Alternative remedy ever discovered
in the whole history of medicine, and one
of DR.. Pierce's most valuable contributions

called on Justice Shiras before the conycn-
ing of the court this morning, but met With
the same denial from him which he HAD re-
eeivcd nj the hands OF the other Justices.
Mr.. BoRrdman had no time left to soc
other Individual justices and he repaired To
the court room with the intention Of pre-
aenlng the matter to the cnneregated

his own name In Durrants behalf rather
than to appear as the latters counsel. All
the members OF the court were present eS-
ocpt Justice Brewer and the audience filed

portion Of the han outside the bar Mr..
Iioardman lost no time In presenting his
prayer to the court

MED by the unanimous opinion OF the
