Judge Caldwell further says:
1T is undenia BILE that there are power

constitutional right of trial by jury,

in other ways. 1t is alleged that the

of crime, or suspected of 'ha intention
of committing it, than by the customary
and constitutional metho al accIlSa-

rious thought of the consequences yield
their assent to this dangerous reason

disregarding the constitution. it is not
perceived why they are not sufficient 20

methods of Eastern princes and dispense

1T is Il curious and significant fact.
that the reasons given for comforting

Dear Madam-About the last of De-

heat on our baby's face. On the fourth

the dreadful disease was eczema. On

Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. With the

men, we proceeded at once to use it.
Two months later, the fourth Sunday in
March, Rev. Mr.. Holmes saw the same
child and could scarcely recognize him.
The child is seven months old, his face
is well, and there are only slight signs of
the disease about his head. He is the
picture of health and is hearty and
strong. We gladly recommend Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy for all forms of ecze-
ma, and think that it is the best blood
purifier on the market. With best
wishes, / am,
Your friend,
D. N. HUNT.
